I think that as a nation you have a far better mentality (not just the Swedes, but people from northern parts of Europe in general) and that is probably also one of the reasons why you are faring pretty well in the pandemic. For instance, here in Croatia we had pretty restrictive regulations in lockdown, but people were still gathering around in parks and public outdoor spaces in huge crowds, while completely ignoring social distancing, no one was wearing masks, etc. I think that northern populations wouldn't necessarily do that because you are brought up very differently. In other words, I think that over here the population is more stupid and they generally have the 'oh, look at us, we are so badass for breaking the law!' mentality.
