Let's recall that Sweden went its own way, which was a version of the Barrington Declaration’s “focussed protection" strategy and were widely mocked for doing so. For not locking down, for not implementing mask and vaccine mandates, for keeping schools open.

Somehow I just feel that no lesson will be learnt from this by all the countries that went the strict "Covid restrictions" route.Places like Australia, Europe, much if Asia and we here in Hong Kong. I sense that 

Preparing for the next pandemic” means getting ready to lockdown and mandate even quicker and harder than last time. Just a feeling though. But look at what Matt Hancock said of Sweden at the time: he didn’t want to see if there was anything to learn from them. He just wanted “four bullet points to make them look bad”. Shame.

I commented (positively) on Sweden over the last three years on this blog, and got some blowback for doing so. Along the lines of "just you wait, Sweden will crash and burn". 

Here are the actual receipts, as they say.
