And all it took was a few thousand unnecessary deaths. Vietnam and Taiwan temporarily shutdown, and the former had 0 deaths while the latter has had less than 10.

The title appears to break HN rules, as it doesn't match the title of the linked article. @dang?

'In contrast with other countries where political leaders have fronted the national response to the crisis, Dr Tegnell has led the majority of news conferences'

'chief state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell is broadly popular in Sweden. An experienced scientist with more than 30 years in medicine, he is known for his relaxed demeanour and preference for pullovers.

"He's a low-key person. I think people see him as a strong leader but not a very loud person, careful in what he's saying," reflects Emma Frans, a Swedish epidemiologist and science writer. "I think that's very comforting for many."

She argues that many national and international media have been "searching for conflict" within the scientific community, whereas she believes there is a consensus that Anders Tegnell's approach is "quite positive", or at least "not worse than other strategies"

This seems a much better non partisan approach than the endless two party C19 press conference and criticism political warfare the US & UK have to endure

Sweden banned international flights from outside of Europe.

Sweden banned gathering of more than 50 people.

Sweden closed down the universities.

Sweden permanently closed down 5 restraunts this weekend for flouting social distancing rules.

And, most importantly, their cases are not plataueing, their deaths are not plataueing.
