We don't have a full lockdown in the UK and Sweden has a partial lockdown: effectively a voluntary one. Care homes have been hit badly & have banned visiting, high-schools and universities are shut, people are being advised not to socialise and there's a ban on public events for over 50 people. Meanwhile the government has passed new legislation which allows them to impose emergency measures without debate or approval of parliament. 'It's a myth that life is going on as normal,' says the Swedish government itself: "The difference between the approach in Sweden and in other countries is not very big. It's mainly the tone that we deal with," said Johan Carlson, director of Sweden's public health agency. "Rather than saying 'you need to stay at home, you're not allowed to do that and that' we are trying to explain to the population why this should be done, the reason for it and also the rationale for doing certain things," he added."

Unemployment is expected to rise dramatically..." https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/17/coronavirus-in-sweden-it-s-a-myth-that-life-is-going-on-as-normal-says-swedish-government Message Thread: Chronic infection - dan April 23, 2020, 11:55 am Re: Chronic infection - Jackie April 23, 2020, 12:13 pm Quel surprise! - Mary April 23, 2020, 1:14 pm Re: Quel surprise! - Ken Waldron April 23, 2020, 6:30 pm Apologies: posted in wrong thread.nm - Ken Waldron April 23, 2020, 6:34 pm Can you get plasma antibody treatment Dan? - David Macilwain April 23, 2020, 1:51 pm Re: Chronic infection - Keith-264 April 23, 2020, 2:39 pm Re: Chronic infection - Alan Haynes April 23, 2020, 3:03 pm Bloody awful!
