    Sweden Adds Restrictions Amid ‘Very Serious’ Covid Resurgence

    Swedes face a new wave of restrictions after daily coronavirus cases hit a record, with the government warning of a grim winter ahead.

    Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, said his country is facing a “very serious situation” that requires tougher measures if the virus is to be fought back.

    The resurgence of Covid-19 across Europe has caught the region off guard after a summer that left many countries assuming they’d brought the virus under control. But as citizens grew complacent and temperatures dropped, the pandemic has returned with a vengeance.

    Lofven warned that the latest development is putting Sweden’s health-care system under pressure, as more intensive care beds get filled.

    “The brief respite that we got during the summer is over,” he said. “How we act now will determine what kind of Christmas we will be able to celebrate, and who will be able to take part.”

    Sweden’s new coronavirus cases hit a record of 4,062 on Friday. As of Tuesday, a total of 134,532 Swedes had been infected with the virus, with 5,969 deaths.

    The new measures announced on Tuesday require Swedes to -
    • Avoid physical contact with people besides those with whom they share a home.
    • Avoid indoor spaces in which crowds can form.
    • Avoid parties, weddings, funerals and similar events.

    It's absurd that people claim that Sweden has no recent COVID deaths when the country's government has been reporting deaths nearly every single day.

    Lockdown-free Sweden ramps up coronavirus restrictions in its three biggest cities after seeing infections double in two weeks
    • Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo will face stricter coronavirus restrictions
    • Sweden registered its highest death rate since the summer with 31 yesterday
    • It registered 10,177 new coronavirus cases since its previous update on Friday

    Let's focus on reality -

    What do New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan all have in common?

    It should be obvious to rational people. All of these countries had previous experience with SARS and other epidemics that came out China. Due to their previous experiences -- these countries were all well prepared to handle a novel pandemic using the best public health practices. They also already had Contact Tracing, Testing, and other public health infrastructure already in place prior to COVID.

    GWB... this is why we review statistics.
    And, because you and your team frequently write fear mongering bullshit instead of checking for the truth....
    I call you and moron all the time.

    7 day moving of deaths is 2 per day in Sweden. Right now.
    So its very possible when someone looked there were zero deaths at the time on that day.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/

    and then we can go to the source...

    https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa

    and for 10/31 it still shows zero deaths that day as of right now.
    (it is of course subject to change as they may fill it in the future.

    Why don't you use the data that comes directly from the government of Sweden...

    You are not just a moron... you are a fucking moron...

    We played this game a few weeks ago when I proved you were lying your ass off then.
    So, I went to the official website and checked before I posted...
    Why don't you for once check the stats before you jump to conclusions and chastise me.


    Here it... the official data, the source Worldometer uses...
    look at Avlidna per dag... you see there is a flat spot... for 10.31.
    zero deaths.
