Denmark, which has closed its borders while on the other side, Sweden, bucking the European trend in its response to the Corona virus pandemic by remaining open for business thin this street in stock home.

There's not much evidence of social distancing, and the shops are open, even though the official advice is to stay at home and work.

Their primary schools are open as well, with officials claiming that Children aren't major transmitters of the virus on that.

Otherwise, somebody else has to look after them.

Cafes and restaurants are open to this was one in this redish capital this morning.

Nobody wanted to talk about why they were there.

Many Swedes are relieved to have avoided locked down.

I think it's good for the economy that we try to keep it a CE open as possible.

I'm not sure if we do have, like, the right strategy or not, but, uh ah, maybe the others countries are not doing it the correct correct way at the hospital with the biggest intensive care unit for those infected.

The doctors say they are not overwhelmed.

They've bean 59 deaths reported in the last 24 hours, and there's a constant hunt for ventilators with this 1 25 years old.

But Sweden is putting its faith in this man on Dashed A No, it's chief epidemiologist and now a household name who says the restrictions, such as they are, are working this level or measure separate.

Having Sweden, there's no problem for us to keep it, keep it running for months, closing schools, Maur strange and measures like that closing borders.

You cannot do that for months or years ahead.

But what we're doing in Sweden, we can continue, do for a long time, and I think that's gonna prove to be a very, very important in a rumor.

A new opinion poll suggests that Swedes support this light touch regulation in a country wedded to consensus politics, where people say they trust state experts, though Cecilia certain by now Claire, an immunologist, is one of over 2000 scientists who have signed a petition urging the government to take more action so the health system can cope.

We are scientists We don't trust authorities, we trust data.

We don't see the data that that supports that.

We should go for the strategy as the only country in the world.

And when you get into an overload in the health care system, you don't have a choice to close down.

You will have to close down then and it would have been better to do that earlier, so we can keep this in a controlled situation.

But from Sweden's interior minister talking to us from the back of his car, no apology that his country is taking a different path.

I think the most important thing here is to get people to actually follow recommendations, think for themselves through understand what the risks are there by social interaction with people.

So if people understand and follow that kind off regulations recommendation, I think we have the same results as other country as well.

The Swedish army is building this new overflow hospital in the suburbs of Stockholm.
