Coronavirus Pandemic Update: Sweden and the Word Health Organization

Sweden: Sweden imposed its first restrictions in regard to the Coronavirus-2019 pandemic, after having relied upon voluntary guidelines. Most Swedes had abided by the guidelines, as the liberal Swedish Government trusted they would act responsibly, but enough did not that it had been threatening to impose restrictions. Sweden has been cited by those who deny or minimize Covid-19 as a supposedly successful example of the strategy of developing herd immunity in lieu of restrictions and the economic damage they cause, but Sweden did not adopt such a strategy and its economy has suffered the same as other States have as Swedes have effectively been restricting themselves and Sweden has experienced a disproportionately high number of cases and deaths from the contagion without the imposition of restrictions. World Health Organization: A study of independent experts commissioned by the World Health Organization concluded that the pandemic from the Coronavirus 2019 could have been avoided. It faulted Communist China and the WHO for delays, but blamed widespread denial, delays and a lack of coordination around the world.
