Yeah, the social contract in Sweden is very strong compared to the UK. The whole Sweden didn't lock down thing is a bit of a myth - the government asked people to be careful and everyone locked themselves down if they could. Our site in Sweden pretty much closed down in March for office staff and everyone has worked from home since apart from manufacturing. No one complained, people saw it as their duty to stop the disease spreading.
They pay a lot in tax but get a lot in return
