Yes, that is the main issue with our strategy in Sweden. We failed to keep it away from seniors' homes. The strategy seems to have worked just fine otherwise. It stopped our hospitals from getting overwhelmed, espcially since we managed to contain it in Stockholm for the most part. But we did not have resources to test people working with the elderly.



it's even worse than not testing enough in care homes: "Its advice to the care workers and nurses looking after older people such as Bondesson’s 69-year-old mother is that they should not wear protective masks or use other protective equipment unless they are dealing with a resident in the home they have reason to suspect is infected." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/19/anger-in-swede... The responses in the US, UK and Sweden (and probably others) are downright criminal and should put politicians in jail.
