Bismehe Ta3ala,
Assalam Alikum Brother
I'm reading how Sweden took on the C-19 crisis and it looked like it did a great job. Are people wearing masks? Are students back in school attending classes?

Salam!
Nah, most people don't wear masks. The reason being that the health ministry here doesn't have scientific proof that the masks actually helps more then a few minutes. Some schools have remote education, mainly high school and universities, but kindergarten, middle school etc are all open basically.
Sweden works with recommendations and guidelines, they only know mustahabat and people tend to follow them. Obligations and "must dos" frowned upon and not a part of the culture. The people as a whole tend to trust the state and the guidelines given.

Brother, what do you think is the reason for Swedes to have low rates with Covid deaths and the number of c-19 cases? Is the Swedish media covering the pandemic closely or it is not its top concern?
Are you able to travel freely? The weather is cold during this time of year. In general, do Swedes have good immunity?

I'm not sure if Sweden has low rates, they have been pretty criticized for having higher rates than neighbor countries.
But the media and all authorities are watching it closely and the debate is both vivid and transparent. There are some interesting aspects in the stats: such as the number of totalt deaths (of all diseases) haven't increased, rather death due to flu and other diseases have flattened out and instead covid has taken its place.
There have been recommendations to not drive/travel more than 1-2 hours etc, but these are only guidelines and you are free to do as you wish.
