https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200328-how-to-self-isolate-what-we-can-learn-from-sweden An interesting read on how Sweden has some cultural adaptations that may favor it during a COVID-19 pandemic. For example, I did not know that most Swedes live alone. Like many Nordic types, they aren't particularly gregarious, preferring the outdoors to crowded social settings. They are using their parks still, but tend to keep to their families and avoid mixing with strangers. They are set up to work from home, if need be, and have generous time-off from work...which they do not abuse. I think I may be part Swedish. |
