But irrespective of those hypotheticals, the photo of people shopping or in semi-crowded indoor places without wearing masks is just ridiculous.  I mean . . . c'mon!

P.S. I'm wondering if Sweden has an unspoken Darwinian cultural mindset - if the weak and enfeebled get flushed out of the system, it's nbd.  I mean, what else could explain not wearing masks indoors?  Serious question.  (It's one thing to say we want to keep as many businesses open as possible; quite another to do so without mask wearing).

Have you not seen that many places in the USA were doing this very thing until a few weeks ago?
A few states didn't even have mask mandates (outdoor or indoor) until recently.   

In a number of places the companies mandated masks for their employees and because it was best for business.   I would imagine that was also common in Sweden.

There are all kinds of USA citizens doing the..
I am strong.
I am in not old or I am in good health.
Of the oldie...I will leave it up to God's will.

FWIW - inevitably in the USA the good health person is a 5' 10" guy running well above 250 pounds.   I realize in the USA that appears normal, but COVID seems to thrive in that level of BMI.

Luckily for Sweden it is relatively small, so it's neighbors can absorb a good amount of Sweden's issues, especially since Finland and Norway have almost no cases.
