In Sweden home tests have been available for some time.

The effect on the masses is that if the test is negative they will send their children to school, use public transportation, go to work even if they are sick as a dog. It's not Corona so it's fine.

The end result is none Corona "normal" winter flue/cold/infections are being spread like never before.

Do you have any stats on that? How are those disease frequencies compared to 2019?

I found this page, which suggests a relatively normal flu season so far: https://www.icuregswe.org/en/about-sir/nyheter/influensasaso...

I don't see any cold data. Though I found a chart for australia: https://www.iqvia.com/-/media/iqvia/images/body/blogs/2021/1...

I understand that flu and cold infections are more widespread this year than last, because people havn't been mingling as much in the last year. So when they do mingle, they encounter flu/cold variants that they don't have resistance to.
