3:27 pm
units are nearly overwhelmed take masks for example understand mel doesn't believe they're very effective so on public transportation writers are urged but not required to mask up during rush hours few appear to do so some feel that's a failure of the government's covert 1000 communications strategy at least journalism professor christian christianson says the lax approach to mask wearing exposes inequalities in swedish society endangering especially minorities you're seeing people who are probably in lower paying jobs service industry jobs must take public transportation their trains in the morning day in day out with hundreds of people in a small container i think it's reasonable to ask like you know might that not be a possible public health problem if they make it more tight that everyone should make you should wear a mask that would be very important and maybe we could have spare some life so
