  1. Sweden is heading for an explosion of cases. Swedish cities have huge populations of third world immigrants who are not going to take even the limited precautions which are advised. Actual Swedes and other Europeans seem to be voluntarily hyper-cautious. There seems to be an official policy of allowing the epidemic to develop and run its course to the point that there will be herd immunity, and in the meantime, it is hoped that those in risk groups will keep themselves out of harm's way. This will be yet one more issue to add to all the others which have caused a collapse in confident in government at all levels. The Swedish health authorities' advice is to "carry on as normal. No recommendation to avoid public transport. Traffic will run as normal. We are watching developments carefully and react according to the information and guidelines that come from the public health and other responsible authorities. The public authority's advice is to travel as usual but it is important to follow advice against becoming ill or infect others. Thus - wash hands often and sneeze into armpits and stay at home if you feel ill." FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE WESTERN SWEDEN PUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITY (translation above) Frågor och svar Hur agerar Västtrafik kring coronaviruset? Det finns just nu inga allmänna rekommendationer om att undvika kollektivtrafiken. Det innebär att trafiken går som vanligt och du kan resa som du brukar. Men vi följer utvecklingen noga och agerar utifrån den information och de riktlinjer som kommer från Folkhälsomyndigheten och andra ansvariga myndigheter. Bör jag vara orolig när jag reser kollektivt? Folkhälsomyndigheten har i nuläget inga allmänna rekommendationer om att undvika kollektivtrafiken. Det innebär att du kan resa som du brukar, men det är viktigt att följa Folkhälsomyndighetens råd om hur du kan skydda dig mot att bli sjuk eller smitta andra i vår gemensamma kollektivtrafik. Alltså genom att tvätta händer ofta, hosta och nys i armvecken och stanna hemma om du känner dig sjuk. https://www.vasttrafik.se/om-vasttrafik/nyhetsarkiv/corona/
