COVID-19 and the Failure of Swedish Exceptionalism

COVID-19 and the Failure of Swedish Exceptionalism It can t happen here. Passengers wait to board the metro in Stockholm, Sweden, December 2020. (Photograph by Jonas Gratzer/Getty Images.) Since the early days of the pandemic, my home country of Sweden has distinguished itself for its contrarian approach. While Swedish leaders never established an official policy of quickly reaching herd immunity, there have been no lockdowns. Schools, restaurants, night clubs, and non-essential shops have all stayed open.  Not only have there been no mandates regarding facemasks, health authorities have downplayed their efficacy. This may have been understandable early on, as many health agencies around the world advised people to save the limited supply of masks for health care workers. The Swedish authorities, however, have persisted in arguing that masks are more or less useless, and their use is exceedingly rare.
