1) As a US citizen in Sweden, I’m disturbed when I see the US right push the “Swedish model” for dealing with COVID19. It’s an utterly cynical, disingenuous position that goes far beyond the question of lockdowns and masks, and highlights what’s rotten at the core of US society.

9) And we should never let it slip through cracks that in Sweden, just as in US, minorities have been hit disproportionately hard by COVID19, in large part due to relative poverty and the type of employment. Making access to healthcare and social programs all the more important.https://twitter.com/ChrChristensen/status/1257736487346614273 …

10) As this thread gets views: This isn't about Sweden or its COVID strategy being great (look at my tweets over past 6 months about that.) This is just about the cynicism of those on the right who hate the welfare state pitching a policy rooted in there being a welfare state.

Iirc Sweden has different vaccine schedules and different medications than are available in the US. Plus medical for all.

Individual rights are an argument for masks, not against. Every person's right to not be sprayed by germ-laden exhalation is a limit on every person's right to walk about maskless. There is no such thing as freedom to violate others' rights.

And they also forget that (the social-democratic!) Sweden did not care about protecting the elderly, those who have contributed in their time to build a rich country and a solid welfare system. It was a nice way to thank them.

It's btw a generic observation: You cannot just cherry-pick single properties of a complex system and mix and match in general: I'd like the speed and performance of a Ferrari F40, at the price and the environment footprint of a bicycle.
