When we meet Johanna at a quarter past six on a December morning on Vasagatan in Stockholm, it is dark and zero degrees.
A few bicycle commuters pass by at high speed wearing tight clothes, without braking.
She has a hot cardboard mug with coffee in her right hand, the left one holds together a blue blanket wrapped around her shoulders.
This night she slept in a tent in the woods in Huddinge.
- I freeze a lot.
I wear several jackets, she says and shows.
Are you not getting sick?
- I do not want to get sick.
If I get sick, I die.
I know that.
This may be my last winter, she says and then hurries on in search of some warmth.
Kavian was homeless - now he helps others
Kavian Ferdowsi himself lived about three years as a homeless person.
Now he helps the homeless every morning via the organization Hemlös.nu, which he started ten years ago.
- When homeless people get sick from the coronavirus, they get no help.
They toil on the street.
It is different with ordinary people who can be at home and take it easy if they catch a cold, he says and adds that homeless people who get corona are hit extra hard physically.
The organization Stadsmissionen has noticed more and more people in acute homelessness who apply for their activities now during the pandemic.
At the same time, many homeless people do not dare to sleep together due to the risk of infection.
Michael has not slept in a bed for a while.
- Last night it was a night bus and commuter train.
Arlanda, Uppsala, Södertälje.
There will not be much sleep.
You can do that during the day if you have any coincidences to do it in some way.
Because it's going to be a hell of a nightmare.
It's getting cold.
That's it, he says.
"Sleeps a maximum of a few hours"
Magnus, who is in his 30s and has a well-groomed reddish beard and mustache, tries to rest for a few hours on a bench at Central Station.
Between two and three at night, according to the guards, he must go out.
- Then I get off, then I go back and rest.
Usually I sleep a couple of hours max.
I am not used to.
This is temporary, hopefully, he says.
Now it's Michael's turn in the breakfast queue.
He drives the walker and gets a bag of sandwiches and some fruit bars donated by various companies.
- You have to take care of yourself as best you can, says Michael.
