@AyakoMiyakawa 丁寧な返事有難うございます。 スウェーデンのコロナ対応については、国際社会からの報道という観点で2年前に下記のような論文も出ています。 社会科学という分野はこのようなnarativeな論文の書き方で自己の意見を述べるスタイルが主流なのかもしれませんね。 https://t.co/EZOQDEsMXF

@christianruck Viktig poäng och än viktigare är att media ofta inte förstår skillnaden mellan forskning och opinion som publiceras i denna typ av tidskrifter. Se exemplet om Richard Hortons editorial on Sveriges Coronarespons i artikeln nedan https://t.co

@FrankfurtZack Der schwedische Weg ist nicht so anders. "Anders Tegnell argued multiple times that the Swedish implementation of COVID-19 measures was not that different, but rather it was the ‘rhetoric and language’ that differed" https://t.co/sWixeJs2tc
