The Swedish government decided early, in January, that the measures
we should take against the [COVID-19] pandemic should be evidence-based.

now by different countries, you find that very few of them have a shred
of evidence base. But one we know that’s been known for 150 years or more and that is washing your hands is good for you and for others when you’re in an epidemic. But the rest, like border closures, school closures, social distancing… there’s almost no science behind most of these.
