Doesn't change the fact that the high death toll have been among the part of the population that were in fact in quarantine and would most likely have been the same had Sweden chosen a more common tactic.

They weren't under any effective quarantine. That was the big problem. I think that the biggest problem in Sweden has been that FHM (the public health agency) went out and said very clearly that the elderly were very vulnerable and needed protection. FHM thought that would be enough action from them. Unfortunately the care givers didn't take that seriously enough, so a lot of temporary workers came and went in the nursing homes without proper routines or equipment.

They were in “quarantine”.

Tegnell didn’t believe in the existence of asymptomatic carriers so younger care workers were allowed to visit them freely as long as they didn’t show symptoms.

He made a huge mistake but is simply unwilling to admit it.

Care takers have been forced to work with symptoms, and there's even one known case where a woman went to work at her care home after testing positive for covid-19 and staying quiet about it.

This would not have changed with a different strategy.

The actual execution of how elderly care is run, is very sloppy too. Lots of people come and go and didn't even use any PPE because there wasn't any.

Also not washing hands, and using PPE incorrectly, and so on.
