We played upholstery, but there still seems to be a bit of air to the critical point. The difference with spring: we know the virus better.

Austria and Sweden have a longer common history: in the social democratization of society, also linked to Bruno Kreisky’s life story, from neutrality to joining the EU together in 1995. Now Austria is again on the side of the second wave of the corona pandemic with the Swedes. It was completely different during the first wave.

The chancellor and the vice chancellor appealed on Monday to the responsibility of the Austrians. That was already the sharpest instrument. The measures that followed this flash appeal were then relatively mild. Far from those similar to blockades in other parts of Europe.

Personal responsibility – that’s the core of the Swedish model. Life goes on, limited but calm. Now also in Austria. The restriction consists of masks and that of contacts. Events continue to happen, restaurants also remain open, but reduced.
