Sweden's management of the coronavirus pandemic, beginning in early 2020, has been much discussed because it deviated from other countries' equivalents. Set in the context of scholarly debate about the balance between politicians and experts in political decision-making, we argue that a necessary condition for this case of Swedish exceptionalism was the manner of policy-making adopted by the Swedish authorities. In this article, we describe this policy-making procedure, which involved a radical form of delegation by elected politicians to appointed experts, and seek to explain how it came about. We focus on the 1st year of the pandemic, and use media reports and other public documents, including parts of a public inquiry, as our empirical material.

Abstract These data are collected from 1428 older adults aged 60 and above. The project is embedded in the ongoing Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen (SNAC-K), a population-based study with regular health assessments since 2001. https://www.snac-k.se/The SNAC-K COVID-19 study aims to: 1) Estimate the short-term collateral damage on older adults’ health during the first months of the COVID-19 outbreak; 2) Detect the long-term collateral repercussions on older adults health up to two years after the first outbreak; 3) Identify the risk profiles for such collateral damage by integrating the ongoing interview with additional SNAC-K data and registries. The questionnaire explicitly focuses on the changes in the participants’ health and lives, i.e. collateral damage, since the onset of the pandemic (March 2020). Depending on the interview date, collateral damage is investigated in up to four different time periods: March 2020-June 2020, July 2020-September 2020, October 2020-December 2020, January 2021-present. The questionnaire is administered via telephone interviews conducted by trained SNAC-K personnel. As of April 2021, the first interview has been conducted with 1428 participants and a follow-up interview has been conducted with 105 of them. 934 follow-up interviews are scheduled to be conducted between April 2021 and August 2021 and an additional 167 by the end of 2021. Main Topics: Topics covered in the SNAC-K COVID-19 study include:• Demographics • Living arrangement • Health condition (general) - Health status - Care-seeking behaviors - Vaccination history • Health condition (COVID-19-related) - COVID-19 symptoms - COVID-19 testing & hospitalization - Protective measures against COVID-19 - Sources of information on COVID-19 • Mental health & cognition • Physical activity • Psychosocial factors • Formal & informal care Standard measures used in SNAC-K COVID-19 study• Three-item loneliness scale; Hughes, M.

Székely (SLU, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) and her research groups in collaboration with Uppsala Vatten. The research group is part of the Environmental Virus Profiling Research Area of the SciLifeLab National COVID-19 Research Program.The viral content is concentrated according to the protocol from Ahmed et al. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139960according to the modified electronegative filtration method. Viral RNA is extracted and SARS-CoV-2 gene copy nr quantified using R-qPCR. Recovery efficiency is measured using Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) as a virus surrogate. Pepper mild mottle virus (PPMoV) is used to correct for variations in water size and flow.
