"Closing borders, in my opinion, is ridiculous, because COVID-19 is in every European country now" has to be up there

Closing borders seems like a perfectly reasonable step for a great many countries.

Particularly those that are vastly more connected via land-based mass transit (often directly into cities that have higher populations than the entire country of Sweden)

Ironically, if all other borders are closed around you, then yours are effectively closed too.

Interestingly enough, you're wrong.

Denmark has closed it's border

But Danes can go to Sweden, because Swedens border are open. And while Denmarks borders are closed, danes are always allowed to return home.

Quite a few irresponsible danish people are going on vacations in Sweden these days
