Actually, I suspect you continue to highlight Sweden because other's have. What do you know yourself about Sweden, anything?
I know very little, but my granddaughter married a Swede. She now has dual citizenship and spends most of the year there. She's a snowbird, comes home in the deep of winter, but otherwise is raising her family there. So I've had a chance to hear what it's like from a different source.
From what I gather Sweden didn't impose national guidelines because in their society they defer to local authority over national, and as a much more cooperative, rather than argumentative, society overall they followed measures that trickled up from communities rather than down from their national leadership. My granddaughter who has experienced both our's and their's said they came out to about the same, but because of that lack of national guidance those, in the USA, that want to argue against things have turned it into an issue it never was.
But hey, mine's only antidotal, I am sure you have better sources, know better..
