Coronavirus restrictions in Sweden, which never issued a nationwide lockdown but implemented safety measures to mitigate the spread of infection, are expected to be in place for at least another year.

What safety measures? Masks and Anti-Social distancing?

The virus is not just packing up and leaving. Which is one big reason why building up community resistance/immunity is so vital. This can be done while protecting those most vulnerable to the virus.

Flatten the curve was the big lie.

I notice that other than cumulative deaths, the article doesn’t give any absolute numbers. It only talks about percentage increases. That’s probably because Sweden’s numbers have been scraping along the bottom of the charts for a while now. Their daily cases have been on the order of a couple hundred and their deaths are under 10 per day and sometimes zero. A 25% increase in these kinds of numbers means less than it sounds like.
