OMG!!! That’s insane. It’s not like you cannot drink anymore people. The drinks gonna be there as usual. And for god sake, wear a mask! #Systembolaget #COVID19SWEDEN #CovidSverigehttps://twitter.com/Marshmelly22/status/1339986400876388352 …

Please keep in mind, literally a quarter of this country's populace drank itself to death in the early 20th century, leading to the establishment of Systembolaget in the first place.

Not saying it's okay - in fact, as a non-Swede living here since 2013 I find it quite sad - but it's important to bear in mind that there is a strong cultural association with tearing through a bottle of Brännvin and vomiting in the gutter.

I know you’re right… It’s just like, we supposed to avoid any kind of crowds but the people just heard they will not be allow to buy drinks after 8pm. They are not even keep distance each others and of course, they’re not wearing a mask either!.

Welcome to Skogås, where everyone I've seen in my 5-minute walk to the store has also not worn a mask. Or distanced. I'm just a http://B.Sc . in C.Sci, but I feel like an entire white paper could be written on the social dynamics of people encountered on the sidewalk.

First, you have the older generation, having a conversation with each other across the sidewalk. And I mean *across* the sidewalk. They might be wearing masks, but they're still standing along the latitude of the entire path, forcing people to either walk between them or around.

Then you have the entitled parents, wheeling their childrens' prams down the very middle of the sidewalk, albeit at a glacial pace. Once again, you're faced with the choice of either violating social distancing, or walking in the mud, to pass them.

On top of that, there's the devil-may-care generation (which is by definition anyone younger than me, so 34 or below), who walk shoulder-to-shoulder from their respective schools, giving no avoidance clearance and also not bothering to shift into a single file to let you pass.
