    As I stated multiple times --- Germany did the best in Europe of following proper public health procedures of locking down and using Contact Tracing and Testing as they re-opened. The flaw in their plan was re-opening their borders ---> which led to the current situation of having to re-impose restrictions.

    You keep pretending your view is the smart view.
    you lie on every thread...
    your only view is fear, maximum fear.

    for instance...


    1. I remember when you were promoting N.Z.'s response months ago. I asked you to confirm you were advocating for closed borders... you dodged the question.

    2. While I was on record many times saying if you are going to lockdown... do it well and close the borders... like this post below from about june.

    Germany has had a lengthy debate over closing borders.... and still is having a debate about re-closing them for COVID. They had closed them in March and re-opened them too quickly. Currently their borders are still open and regional politicians are urging they be closed again.

    Should Germany impose border controls as Covid-19 rates rise across Europe?

    He is being paid to provide content on this subject...
    so he is being a moron on purpose...

    Or, he is so scared he is willing to lie.

    The first option I think is likely the correct one. If for no other reason than the sheer number of false postings.

    COVID is projected to be so bad in Sweden that they are increasing the national budget...

    Sweden to spend an additional $1 billion to fight coronavirus

    Sweden is set to double the funding allocated to regions for fighting the coronavirus, Finance Minster Magdalena Andersson said on Monday, as the country prepares to amend its budget to cope with a surge in COVID-19 cases.

    The government will meet on Tuesday to boost the budget it agreed in September to include an additional 10 billion Swedish crowns ($1.12 billion) aimed at covering healthcare and other costs faced by regions as they deal with the coronavirus.

    "This is more than what the municipalities and regions have applied for. We take into account the further risk of increased costs," Andersson told the Dagens Nyheter daily newspaper.

    Sweden, which has shunned lockdowns throughout the pandemic, reported 2,820 new coronavirus cases on Oct. 28, the highest daily total so far.

    Authorities for the Stockholm region on Monday also warned of a "dire situation" as cases in the Swedish capital continued to rise.

    "It is not money that should stand in the way of good healthcare and care," Andersson added.

    ($1 = 8.9300 Swedish crowns)

    So they're doubling the funding because "its so bad in Sweden"? Or is that your interpretation?
