Take Sweden's "Screw it, we'll rely on herd immunity" policy against it's Nordic neighbours.

it will be a while before we can see the whole picture on Sweden. If Sweden does accomplish their goals (if herd immunity is even their goal) then it is fathomable that Denmark Norway and Finland will have to keep restrictions in place or else eventually face that spike that Sweden is getting past right now.

That might be the goal, I don't really have any idea.

Studies at the weekend suggested between 25-40 per cent of Stockholm may have actually already had the virus. It could be up to 60 per cent by late May. In France, it is currently believed to stand at around six per cent.

As a fan of freedom, I think it is refreshing to see at least one country that leaves it up to their population if they want to be afraid or not.
