STOCKHOLM, Sweden (PNN) - July 25, 2021 - One country not making much news is Sweden.
Sweden, of course, was maligned in 2020 for foregoing a strict lockdown. The Guardian called its approach “a catastrophe” in the making, while CBS News said Sweden had become “an example of how not to handle COVID-19.”
Despite these criticisms, Sweden’s laissez-faire approach to the nonexistent pandemic continues today. In contrast to its European neighbors, Sweden is welcoming tourists. Businesses and schools are open with almost no restrictions; and as far as masks are concerned, not only is there no mandate in place, Swedish health officials are not even recommending them.
