The Swedes are apparently so excited that they're celebrating in the streets! And by celebrating I mean shortening the usual 2 meter personal space to a mere 1.5 meters to politely confirm that this is indeed an interesting development.

The confirmations are distributed via curt single nods, with no words spoken since that’d be small talk.
