Let's look at the track record of the supposed experts at FHM. A few favourites:

"The virus will not spread in Swedish society under the current circumstances. We might see a few cases." (February)

"A large proportion of the population will gain immunity, this will lead to herd immunity. No patients will have to be triaged away." (March)

"The number of ICU patients and infected elderly is stabilizing. Our measures in society are proving effective." (March)

At some point, a responsible and reasonably intelligent person will realize that maybe this particular expert is lacking in expertise and the two dozen or so of other domestic experts (all of them virologists, epidemiologists, professors in medicine etc.) that are fervently recommending stricter measures might have a point.

Swedish politicians have a great knack for avoiding the responsibility they ask for in the elections, and they're really good at shifting blame. I sure hope they won't get away with it this time.
