Personally, not taking too much notice of the numbers, without testing (both for infection, and past infection), they cannot possibly be accurate anyway. I am waiting for an outburst of optimism
I've had a video conference with Swedish colleagues in the last week where three of them were in the same room - this is absolutely forbidden in the UK by our organisation. Office based employees are still allowed to work from the office, again forbidden in the uk.
Just been chatting to a co- worker; she's been to a cafe this morning and had a coffee, sitting outside alone mind. Restaurants and bars are still open, table service only. No restrictions on exercise or movement. Building work going on as normal.
Her view is that Swedes are very trusting of authority, and are not pushing, and will not push, the boundaries. So lock down not necessary.
I guess we'll see in a month or so how the fatalities are as to whether it's been sufficient.
Interesting how different an approach they have over there.
NB: you can still work in an office here if you cannot carry out your work at home etc - scroll down to 'Keeping your business open' :

Indeed, we’re all capable of looking up the numbers should we wish (and they’re announced at the start of the daily press briefing)Even though I've been guilty of poring over and speculating about the numbers on this very thread, it's reached the point where I need to ask, can we refrain from posting the numbers of fatalities and new cases?
Unless new information comes to light or there's a change in the gradients on the logarithmic scale, the numbers are not helpful since every day will bring new records, and confronting the reality that every single one of these rapidly growing numbers represents a person with all that entails, whilst simultaneously being completely unable to do anything about it is absolutely ruinous to mental health.
Thanks.

Yeah, that's company rather than government policy.
Their primary schools and kindergartens are still open. And she's still attending her evening class, which astounded me.
