  In practice, the core task of managing the outbreak fell to a single man: state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell at the National Institute of Public Health. Tegnell approached the crisis with his own set of strong convictions about the virus, believing that it would not spread from China, and later, that it would be enough to trace individual cases coming from abroad

• And, in "the fog of war," it was also convenient for L.fven to let Tegnell's agency take charge. Its seeming confidence in what it was doing enabled the government to offload responsibility during weeks of uncertainty

• Hence, the thousands of Swedish families returning from late-February skiing in the Italian Alps were strongly advised to return to work and school if not visibly sick, even if family members were infected. Tegnell argued that there were no signs of community transmission in Sweden, and therefore no need for more general mitigation measures

• To some degree, the numbers might reflect Sweden's much larger immigrant population, but the stark disparities with its Nordic neighbors are nonetheless striking. Denmark, Norway, and Finland all imposed rigid lockdown policies early on, with strong, active political leadership.
  Now that COVID-19 is running rampant through nursing homes and other communities, the Swedish government has had to backpedal

• Others who may be tempted by the "Swedish model" should understand that a defining feature of it is a higher death toll.

• And, third, the composition of the Swedish population has changed.
  After years of extremely high immigration from Africa and the Middle East, 25% of Sweden's population - 2.6 million of a total population of 10.2 million - is of recent non-Swedish descent.
