Upwards of 70% of the Covid19 death toll in Sweden has been people in elderly care services (as of mid-May 2020). We summarize the Covid19 tragedy in elderly care in Sweden, particularly in the City of Stockholm. We explain the institutional structure of elderly care administration and service provision. Those who died of Covid19 in Stockholm’s nursing homes had a life-remaining median somewhere in the range of 5 to 9 months. Having contextualized the Covid19 problem in City of Stockholm, we present an interview of Barbro Karlsson, who works at the administrative heart of the Stockholm elderly care system. Her institutional knowledge and sentiment offer great insight into the concrete problems and challenges. There are really two sides to the elderly care Covid19 challenge: The vulnerability and frailty of those in nursing homes and the problem of nosocomial infection—that is, infection caused by contact with others involved in the elderly care experience. The problem calls for targeted solutions by those close to the vulnerable individuals.

斯德哥尔摩市的老年人护理和 Covid19：Barbro Karlsson 访谈。

瑞典 Covid19 死亡人数的 70% 以上是老年护理服务人员（截至 2020 年 5 月中旬）。我们总结了瑞典，特别是斯德哥尔摩市的老年护理中的 Covid19 悲剧。我们解释了养老管理和服务提供的制度结构。在斯德哥尔摩疗养院死于 Covid19 的人的剩余寿命中位数在 5 到 9 个月之间。在将斯德哥尔摩市的 Covid19 问题背景化后，我们对在斯德哥尔摩老年护理系统的行政中心工作的 Barbro Karlsson 进行了采访。她的机构知识和情感为具体问题和挑战提供了深刻的见解。老年人护理 Covid19 挑战确实有两个方面：疗养院人员的脆弱性和脆弱性以及院内感染问题——即因与参与养老经历的其他人接触而引起的感染。这个问题需要那些接近弱势群体的人有针对性的解决方案。
