A crappy solution: Sweden gets real about enforcing social distancing In most of the world, large gatherings of people have been outright canceled or banned due to fears of spreading COVID-19. It’s disappointing, for sure, but protecting the health of citizens is far more important than a little fun and games. But Sweden, unlike many other countries, has taken a much lighter approach to enforce methods that flatten the curve of infection.

Instead of using police, city officials plan to dump a metric ton of manure across the park to make gathering there as unpleasant and smelly as possible. Officials say this kills two birds with one stone: Not only will guests be discouraged to attend festivities, but the manure will also help the grass grow healthier during dry summer months.
