Precisely. Also congrats on having sane politicians. Sweden has 10x the hospitalization rates of many countries that still have mandates, thus it is a political question, not a medical one.

What countries? Show me the data.

Edit: Deleting most of my post since Sweden does not track hospitalizations, only ICU admissions so I compared incorrectly. Here is the graph for ICU, judge for yoruselves if there are any with a 1/10 of Sweden's numbers.

I misspoke, it was deaths, not hospitalizations. Norway has 1/10th the deaths per capita of Sweden. Canada has 1/2 of what Sweden has, and we are still have mandates and restrictions.
