At no point on the journey does anyone tell you that you can remove your face mask, so when we landed in Stockholm, my fellow passengers on the quarter-full SAS flight from Heathrow kept them on up the gangway and into the airport terminal. Then you notice that the customs officers aren't wearing them as they check your passport, nor the airport staff swooshing around on silent scooters, but you keep it on just in case. Only when you finally emerge from the baggage hall and into the row of waiting taxis do you realise: nobody is wearing one. Not a single person. In Sweden, it's a mask-free world. In central Stockholm the restaurants and shops are busy, even if less busy than they might normally be; there's a table-service-only rule, so many bars have queues of patient Swedes outside to avoid any overcrowding inside. The outside watering holes of Stureplan and along the waterfront at Strandvägen are positively booming. There's nothing reckless or denialist about the atmosphere here; nor anything of the grim experiment-gone-wrong that much of the international media would have you believe about a country which did not impose a national lockdown. People are behaving responsibly, social distancing where possible, but determined to continue the serious business of living their lives. In the warm sunshine of a Stockholm evening, I got a sense of a people for whom unencumbered enjoyment of their brief summer — those precious moments of beauty and levity and warmth on the skin — is not a "nice-to-have" that should be surrendered on an uncertain cautionary principle. It is something closer to a human right. I interviewed the architect of Sweden's Covid-19 policy, Anders Tegnell, for UnHerd's LockdownTV. Tegnell makes no secret of the fact that he is baffled by other countries' rush to mandate face masks. "The evidence base for using masks in society is still very weak," he tells me - despite lots of countries now mandating them in different ways "we haven't seen any new evidence coming up, which is a little bit surprising I can say." He believes that masks may be counter-productive as people then forget social distancing and even go out when they are ill, which ends up increasing the spread of the disease. And most importantly, things are going perfectly well without them. "At a time like right now, when we have extremely few admissions into hospitals and the total number of cases is rapidly falling, it is not the time to introduce something else." Decisions are taken entirely by the health agency with almost no involvement from politicians, which lowers the temperature from the outset. Anders Tegnell is a physician and technocrat with no voters to please or polls to fret about. Perhaps a culture's readiness to change on a sixpence to a "new normal" is inversely correlated to their affection for, and confidence in, the "old normal." The Swedes like their way of life, and are enviably reluctant to give it up. Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread
