Today's topic: How Sweden Balances Risks and Rewards During the Covid Pandemic
When Sweden’s borders opened to U.S. travelers July 1, 2021, I traveled overseas to beautiful Varmland County by plane, train, and car. I was celebrating a long overdue family reunion, which included meeting my first grandchild. Sweden does not mandate face masks in most environments. Of course, I was initially concerned about mutual health risks. I’ll share surprising ways Sweden balances health risks and rewards, using community ties, strict Covid border and travel requirements, Covid vaccination, and programs to lower DWI and reckless driving deaths the U.S. should consider.

Come to join us for our “Good Morning, Howard!” zoom group.
Wednesdays at 9:00 AM
Our goal is to provide Howard County residents an opportunity to come together in a relaxed atmosphere, to meet with others, and to participate in the discussion/activities of Health and Wellness. Our content may include using technology to connect with family and friends, gardening, exercise, music, movies, jokes, popular websites, and healthy diet.
Participation is easy because driving is not required. This social program is for TVIH members and older adults from Howard County. This program was popular in August and is continuing in September.
Volunteers (TVIH members) will take turns to serve as the hosts of the GMH zoom meetings. The hosts will greet the participants, make introductions, and give the feedback/suggestions back to the membership committee.
Most people will join by using their computer, tablet or smartphone. To join, you need a zoom meeting link. The link will be emailed to you after you register.
