From Västtrafiken's (West Sweden) web site
Västtrafik now reduced tram frequencies in Gothenburg. The change applies from Thursday. The reason is staff shortages due to the corona virus.

Prohibition of gatherings with more than 50 people
The Public Health Authority has introduced a new ban on public gatherings with more than 50 people. It is about planned and larger gatherings, such as parties and competitive sports events. The Public Health Authority has announced that they will gradually specify what gatherings will be subject to the ban. Public transport has not yet been included, but Västtrafik is following the trend closely.
The army has set up emergency hospitals in Stockholm and Gothenburg ready for the expected onslaught. The policy seems to be to let it happen. There is a lot of politics behind this. The government's advisor, Anders Tegnell, is a known Marxist and takes the view that the community is more important than the individual, and a few thousand dead grannies and grandpas is a price worth paying to acquire herd immunity. That said, it would be a merciful release for those in some of the Swedish care homes.
There is a pattern here. It is the same incompetence, perpetrated by the same government, that allowed an influx of 190,000 migrants, including a few genuine refugees, in 2015. These migrants, mostly young men, were then spread round the country and the local authorities were told that the government would give them financial support - for a limited period (two or three years, if I recall). We have also had an explosion of violent crime in what was once an outstandingly safe country. Now the government money has stopped and the local authorities have gone broke. From being one of the best managed countries in the world ten years ago, it has degenerated into a shambles of mis-government.
