Often the discussion has The failure of the Swedish strategy against the pandemic concerned the failed forecasts of the Public Health Agency (FHM) and, more rarely, the values on which the strategy against the pandemic rests. These are values that are often taken for granted and therefore not questioned, values that are reasonable under normal circumstances, but that lead to errors in crises.
Such an assessment is about trust. Most people would probably agree that a society based on trust is preferable to one based on mistrust, vigilance, and control. But you are guilty of a wrong conclusion if you go from an assumption of confidence in public is preferable to the conclusion that trusting always it should guide our actions. Trust between people works most easily when they love each other, share important values, or at least are not interested in exploiting each other. When such factors are lacking, trust must be supplemented with control mechanisms. So we can trust others to take care of themselves simply because there is a system that punishes them if they cheat or take advantage of us. Trust without effective control, on the other hand, tends to lead sooner or later to some people fulfilling their own interests at the expense of others. One can think of cases here such as deception with compensation for personal assistants and association grants, or people who with false identities receive a residence permit in Sweden.
