Thanks Mick, that was a great article.  It is a good reminder that Sweden's approach is very popular amongst Swedes.  It might not have been the approach I would have wanted (at least not if the approach taken and outcomes observed by Denmark or Norway) are the alternative, but I'm not in Sweden, so it's not really relevant to me.

Now, the real question is whether the US would have been better off just following Sweden's approach, if there is an acknowledgment that probably couldn't have gotten the population to take a Germany/Denmark/Norway approach.
