Again, in regard to actual lockdown measures, South Korea mirrored Sweden to a great deal. They weren't as restrictive as most countries. The difference was testing and contact tracing put in place early and a citizenry more apt to do what they're told to do and follow suggestions. They also have a recent history they're trying to avoid that's probably provided some motivation.

Should Sweden have shut down similar to Norway because they didn't have that level of testing and contact tracing in place from the beginning? Perhaps. That's a strong argument. I just refuse to say anything until this whole thing is over, and I'm fascinated to watch it unfurl.
