    another absolute complete lie by GWBe-lying.... always.
    he just makes shit up and pretends its real.
    he has some pyscho problem with reality and covid.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/1133055/weekly-number-of-coronavirus-tests-in-sweden/

    Over last 8 weeks recorded here... they have done about a million tests... and the country only has 10 million people.

    Are you claiming the two articles I posted outlining the lack of tests situation in Sweden are all lies?

    Well in this case go contact the news agencies and complain.

    It’s just so devastating. My friend in Stockholm tells me he is just walking over dead bodies everywhere. The stink is pervasive. All 4 people who died yesterday were piled up in the town square. It’s basically like Syria but with a deadly plague.

    Meanwhile Germany is seeing as many deaths and 4 times the cases as they did during their peak in April. Why do you think that is???

    The problem is not the number of tests...

    The problem is how long it takes to get the results due to Sweden Healthcare system in which they relied heavily on sending their tests elsewhere and then had to wait for the results...

    The below from your article.

    Sweden’s decentralised healthcare system has left its regions competing for lab capacity with some resorting to sending samples abroad.

    “We should, of course, do more together and have joint tenders to build national capacity,” Ann Soderstrom, head of healthcare in Gothenburg’s Vastra Gotaland Region said.


    -------

    I talked about that problem early in the Pandemic in another thread about Sweden as one of the reasons that resulted in easy spread of Covid-19 in their elderly homes and long care home facilities.

    The wait time for results was too long in that 1st wave. Yet, criminal because such has continue to be an issue here in the 2nd wave after they they acknowledged in the 1st wave that the test results long wait times were very problematic.

    Testing and the Results Wait are directly connected to controlling the spread of Covid-19. Simply, they can test EVERYONE in Sweden but Covid-19 will spread rapidly in the population if it takes too long to get results and it removes individuals unnecessary from the work force while they quarantine (waiting for their test results).

    I can't remember which on of the Scandinavian countries stated but they believe to control Covid-19 they needed to have results within 2 - 3 days.

    Here in Canada
    , the same problem was an issue in our long care home facilities...it took too long to get back the results.
    Today, here in Canada, its now down to 2 - 3 days to wait for Covid-19 test results. It will soon get even better when they roll out new type of testing in which someone can get the results in 1 - 2 days.

    GWB does not think masks work.

    Actually herb immunity has about a billion years of evidence to support it.

    GWB: "The variation of responses by country in the current COVID-19 pandemic does serve one purpose however - it will act as very useful cases studies of very successful (Germany / South Korea) responses versus completelyfailed"

    Germany is having major issues right now.
    I read that they lost control of the ability to test and trace.
