Covid is an exception, and believe me, if the main victims of Covid had been kids instead of old people stuffed into elder-care facilities, forgotten by everyone, the dynamics around masking and vaccines and lockdowns would have been a lot different. My point is that most kids in Sweden go to daycare, “daycare sickness” (where the whole family comes down with enteritis etc) is a common thing, and as far as I know the country doesn’t stand out in health stats. You can argue that the loss of productivity from this is a factor, but as you mention in a parallell comment, the authorities can demand better hygiene and air quality in preschools and schools, and it would be cheaper than outfitting every single home.
