Re:If Sweden succeeds, lockdowns will all have been for nothing by bjourne on Saturday April 25, 2020 @11:03PM (#22983986)
The commonality is that people care about their own lives. Not about old people in nursing homes dying. Everyone in Sweden knows that our numbers are atrocious and that many more are dying here than in neighboring countries. Yet the government's soft strategy has massive support and almost no one wants to see stricter measures like school lock downs or closed restaurants.

I think it's very hard to say who is right and who is wrong here. Even if a lock down saves lives, it affects so many negatively. Especially kids who lose weeks of months of schooling who they will have a hard time getting back.

I really don’t get the thing with compulsory schooling - it’s not if they will never get educational instruction in their lives
