53. Wow! I had no idea Sweden had gone off the rails like that.

From what I've been reading in the Norwegian press (I can read Norwegian, more or less, but Swedish confuses me), they've closed down everything - but Sweden has made it sort of optional. The Øresund bridge is apparently restricted only on the Danish side (you can't get into Denmark but apparently you can get into Sweden). It's bizarre that they'd consider closing down for the virus to be racist or cowardly. I hope you will be OK!
