Unlike its European neighbors, Swedish officials did not institute lockdown measures to combat the Covid-19 epidemic. CNN's Phil Black takes a look at how that has affected the country's outbreak.

it’s crazy how what used to be normal now seems so alien and threatening
There are new facts to consider. We’ll get back to normal someday, only when it is the right time, borne out of the data.
@Paul Belardo dude wtf are you lonely? Need a hug? Sorry bro but play idiot somewhere else, drink Donnie’s Lysol Kool aid dumbass!
@UCAI-bcp88WWEejtLKDlKzKw Roy Roger’s go get your horse. I see you also have been injected with a heavy dose of stupidity lol. Enjoy the Trump Landslide Victory ✌
@UCAI-bcp88WWEejtLKDlKzKw My whole thing is why can’t we all actually get along. Why is it that everyoneon on the left has to try and bring our President down every day? As you can all tell it doesn’t work. Instead of working together the democrats do nothing but bring hatred & divide and is truly sickening and makes no sense. We are all under God.
@Ken Mahoney And Ken you keep drinking the piss that the fake news is pouring down your throat lol. Why do you people hate so much?
The thing is immunity is still not clear. Are you really immune and if so for how long.
@TimboCanada me too. My daughter, whom I live with, had to be tested yesterday because someone in her department at Walmart tested positive for the virus. She was tested yesterday and was so far tested negative. At least she follows all the guidelines and wears a face mask.
@YEAH YUKERSON NY post? Oh sure, they’ll say it’s a problem in China, even feed into “commievirus” but also say it’s all a hoax? that the economy matters more than lives?
@Jason Warsong Wrong. If you die, you are definitely immune.
Corpses don’t get coronavirus.
@Firghtening Truth did you get your degree from trump university? you must be alive to have immunity, that’s the rule
Good point. Besides the immunity period is unknown, the level of antibody varies from person to person. Sweden is playing with fire.
Sweden has an extensive healthcare system covering ALL of its citizens. The USA doesn’t.
John D. Dodson They do for the rich. That doesn’t include you then 😂 You just have to accept a third class “medicine”
@Kelly Fehr I suspect the common denominator is volume of travel from China. In BC it’s Vancouver. In Toronto it’s Markham. In Alberta, it’s Banff.
so what ? at the end of the day, you’ll be dead . covid19 doesnt care if you have covered insurance
So? Still it’s going to get worse. I hope the people stand up.
@Cute Little Suzie you aint so cute after all suzie
I cannot think of one example of successful herd immunity cases without vaccine in the history…
@excited box I wonder now, if the natives weren’t wiped out how would a modern day Native American society handle this? And also for that matter, if this is something we kinda had it coming to us?
@Andrew McFadden They would handle it the same as they are right now. Just like anybody else. There are still Native Americans in the world. WTF do they teach you anything in school in the US?
Herd immunity is what stopped the Spanish Flu in 1917-1918. But at what cost? It killed between 50-100 million globally.
@Shadmo colds mutates. Flu mutates.
People of all ages die from this virus, not just the elderly, although they die more often. Not sure if I would take the chance on dying as they did.
The problem is health conditions people already have before getting covid-19. Duuuuuh.
Not only do people of all ages die from it, but people who have recovered have damaged lungs which may never repair themselves.
@Fxck Racism Well there are so many variables…. Preexisting health conditions, age, race, genetics, diet, viral load, point of infection into the body. All this will dictate if you beat it or you don’t.
Its very simple..if u want to hide n quarantine for the rest of ur life n i hope u live to be 1,000 then u go ahead n do it…but for the rest of us that like living our life outside in the world, let us be💪 id rather live 2years of life than 50 locked up like a caged animal
@cedar29pi Well it’s a good thing that nobody, except you, think that the lockdown will last 50 years. The lockdown will be lifted soon, it’s only been 2 months or less (depending on where you are) and you’re already going bananas. You have no discipline.
They still have high infection than taiwan sooooo. N alot have died too. Soooooo
So sorry the girl that lost her dad and to all the other family’s, so very sorry😢😢
I’m so so sowwwwy 😢😭😭😭 I cry all day for every death that occurs 😢 I’m such a good person plz give me likes 😭
Reasonably Reasonable So no one close to you died from this. Got it.
@Abram Ruelas Yeah we all die eventually, though that doesn’t mean if there’s a fire, we stay in the building because we accept that fact. The same logic applies for this virus, why wouldn’t you want to protect yourself?
Is not like you going to cheat death, so move on.
@juan santana I am.
Looks like Sweden’s mindset is grandma and grandpa are… “expendable”.
@Burisma Biden Sweden mortality rste higher than Australia NZ NZ Singapore Taiwan all countures that acted quickly and made peoplw stay at home . The facts show stay at home and social distancing is the best treatment for this virus
@Steven Nguyen then you should complain to the democratic leaders. They’re doing this crap
@Everrett Kleen The Frist comment you post it you blame the Democrats and now your blaming both party its you who playing the political blame game all im saying is give it a rest is that so hard.
@Ron F Bullshit, what happens when we re-open genius? Or will we shutdown forever? 😂
If grandpa and grandma have to wait till vaccine they should stay locked down and quarantined. Then when they do get a vaccine they wont be living in a apocalyptic nightmare mad max style when they will truly stand no chance of survival.
The elderly sacrifice their normal lives in war so we can live out normal lives in peace… way to pay them back for their sacrifice.
@Gary Nelson huh?
Mo A fkin selfish and egotisical people always being arrogant well your god taught you a lesson with over 1 million cases fktard
Sweden is a neutral country.
@Gary Nelson fuuuuuck the system
You do herd immunity, I am going to social distance.
Until when?
Sweden has socialized medicine, everybody gets treatment when they need it. Sweden also has paid sick leave, so if you are sick you can stay home, protect your coworkers and not lose income or fear getting fired. Compared to Sweden, the US is an undeveloped nation.
@Charles Bickel Yeah it is, I live in Canada. We have universal healthcare.
Mkl 01 Have you been there?
Has no military to defend itself! They can afford other programs! We would have to come to it’s rescue if attacked!!
Charles Bickel It’s free to parasites who don’t pay taxes.
But what difference is it when you have a 50% chance of dying? I would rather stay home and away from other people to increase my chance of survival. No one is going to starve to death, but they can from the virus.
And will continue to have no national strategy under this disastrous administration. Friedman is correct: we will get to herd immunity thru a lot of bodies. The death toll in America will be significant because we just don’t care to be inconvenienced for this long. Sad.
The world is upside down feel like we in twilight zone, who agrees?
Gw Gw 👍🏼👍🏼
Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo. Doo….da. Da. Daaaaahhhhhhhling. You. Are now entering. The. Twilight. Zone😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Your English is in the twilight zone ! I agree to that !
It feels like being on some sort of messed up Candid Camera where we have to decide what’s more important our money or our health and families.
I guess this is one way to reduce eldercare expenditures…
It seems almost diabolical, doesn’t it?? 😈
Sweden rolling the dice. I hope they win.
Sweden: let everyone infected-we want freedom
China: try to find every infected cases, quarantine and treat them-we want to live
US: …. we want both, can that happen?
The US is largely doing what Europe as a whole is doing. Italy = NY. Florida and Georgia and Wyoming and Nevada. Are kind of like Sweden. No difference really.
Sheila go move to China then
Street Hawk Only Chinese citizens can get in now
Sheila China beat its citizens for not wearing mask and took people against there will and barricaded people in there homes
They are playing Russian Roulette. Too many people still died that clearly could have been spared. Sad.
Herd immunity?
Nope. Its called, “Thinning the herd……”.
Oz John imagine being named oz
No guarantee that those who had it will develop antibodies to prevent them from getting it again … smh
Ellis Conner LoL. Imagine being named Ellis.
It’s like how the world was allowed to develop herd immunity to HIV.
W F if people get it a second time we are all done
They should have worn masks in public. I feel sorry for those who lost their loved ones.
It can’t be guaranteed that having Covid 19 provides any immunity.
