I don't think the current situation warrants other preparations than the everyday risks of accidents and sudden illness. And I'm not aware of any practical preparations. > Sweden has been criticized for its handling of the coronavirus. I'm aware that there's some debate, but I'm not really following that politics. In case the list is curious, I can describe what it's like from my perspective. I live in the Stockholm region (roughly 2 million people). Current numbers are 210 confirmed infections (cumulative) per 100 000 inhabitants, which is third highest in the country. Last week roughly 200 new cases per day in the region, and there's some hope we're past the peak of that curve, but still unclear. 400 people (cumulative) in intensive care, 700 dead (still numbers for the region, for all of Sweden, 950 intensive care cases, 1200 dead). Official numbers here: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa. I've been working from home since March 11, when google started to generally close down the European offices. My partner has been working from home almost as long; we now have one living room office and one bedroom office. I haven't been to the city center since then, but I've been told that traffic is like a Sunday morning all week. We've cancelled all our planned travel. We still have local errands, maybe twice a week. Both grocery store and hardware store are within walking distance. Kids go to school, and can also go to other activities and visit their friends. Child care and schools up to roughly grade 6 are generally open, but with fewer staff and children since anyone with the slightest symptoms is asked to stay home. Shops are open, but calmer than usual. Most nearby restaurants are open, but have appeared mostly empty when I've walked past. My guess is that they're having a hard time and trying to survive on take-away. I take a walk outdoor almost every day, I think that's quite important for both physical and mental health. It's spring, and a lot of people walking or running outdoors, in particular on the paths close to the water. The outdoor café by the water has been somewhat busy, but not overly crowded.
