In order for active agency in public health and politics to 'work', all jurisdictions must be on the same page. If one state breaks from the pack, then it makes poor decisions much more difficult to cover up.

Lockdown vs. No-Lockdown in two charts:

While Sweden 🇸🇪 keeps calm and carries on, the rest of Europe 🇪🇺 makes a "casedemic" scarecrow and gets itself scared.

During the CV19 situation, Sweden has been the rogue. It has refused to fall in line with the pandemic party line. No hard lockdowns, mask mandates, or other popular countermeasures.

First came pressure to conform. Then ridicule.

But now Sweden's results are visible to all--to the consternation of lockdown authoritarians worldwide.
