We have a head start agains other Europien countries on being clean.
The Vikings were known for their excellent hygiene. Excavations of Viking sites have turned up tweezers, razors, combs and ear cleaners made from animal bones and antlers. Vikings also bathed at least once a week—much more frequently than other Europeans of their day—and enjoyed dips in natural hot springs.

About sick leave from your workplace: many (Swedish) people react negatively at sick employees who go to work anyway. (We call it "sjuknärvaro", which is the word opposite to sick leave)
The reason for this, is that people (and their immune systems) are very different from one another.
A germ, that causes mild fever and sniffles on one person could effectively knock out others - in the end decimating the workforce for days, causing a ton of lag, stress and delays at the company.
We do like our fellow colleagues, and encourage them to take some time off, when they're feeling under the weather - and as a positive side effect, the rest of us remain healthy, and can cover for the few sick-leaves.
I like your videos - you seem to have a positive view of the world, and goodness knows it's needed at covid times like these.
Cheers!

Yeah, I know I'm late, but just wanted to point out that you're mixing up VAB (Vård Av Barn = Care Of Child) and föräldraledighet (parental leave). You can use VAB at any time to stay home from work to take care of your child while retaining 80% of your salary. For parental leave you have 480 days per child that you can take off from work while also retaining 80% of your salary up until your child turns 12.

You're so fun, I'm loving this video. I will be moving to Sweden and am learning a lot from videos here on Youtube, but as for someone living in the south in America, people are always saying hello or waving and I'm not an ignorant type of person, but I would prefer you not be all in my face with hello and waving if I don't know you LOL. I love meatballs and I was raised with pickled herring and herring in a cream sauce which is eaten cold, so I'm learning a lot of things that just make me feel like I'm going to fit right in hahaha. As far as people looking into windows, if it means that much for someone to look, I take it as a compliment lol.

Hi from Göteborg o/ My youngest kid is so un-Swedish in that he says hi to everyone and if they don't reply he'll shout it again as they walk away. I fell sorry for him and yet I hope he never changes.
