It clearly says: "Strait".

Okay, if you distrust a Singaporean news outlet.  Here are articles
from Bloomberg, Fortune, BGR (featured in news applications on
Samsung smartphones), Yahoo! News and the NY Post.  I hope you
approve of these?

The 'fascination' grew because of Sweden's attitude and
assumptions, dating back to a time when relatively little
was still known about the virus (and before any vaccines
were developed).

If Sweden is right and the whole world is wrong, then why
has Sweden gradually changed its strategy: Are they right
and bending to pressure, or is it an admission of poor
judgement and mismanagement...?

Another thing that should be noted about Sweden, in terms
of spread and the infection rate: From what I read, in
sociology studies and also casual observations, Swedes as
a people are naturally rather distanced.  I guess this
has mitigated things to a large degree.
