No GWB. That’s you. You confirm that you have no leg to stand on. Not to mention your inability to see that your lockdown mask mandate philosophy is a giant failure causing ruined lives in the hundreds of millions. People who have zero science background who push for such draconian, anti-Science, anti-humanity measures for a virus with survivability in the 99%+++ range should get fucked.
Recent Trends in Sweden continuing to look really good at the moment... in terms of daily new infections and daily new ICU admits. Let us hope the recent trends continue. ( I wonder if the propagandists here an in the media would prefer Sweden approach to be successful or not?) (note to those concerned about deaths being backfilled to the date of death. ) That is a valid concern... but as I have been saying for a few weeks now... the recent days were showing fewer and fewer deaths. So we may have put in the highs overall the holidays. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa/page/page_0/
Country that refused to lock down learns a hard lesson What's now mundane for much of the world is remarkable for Sweden: government-issued mandates on limited store capacity. Once lionized by anti-lockdown advocates, Sweden now has a new law granting the government power to do things the country previously refused to do.
EXPLAINED: What you can be fined for under Sweden's pandemic law https://www.thelocal.se/20210119/wh...r-and-for-how-much-under-swedens-pandemic-law What can you be fined for under Sweden's pandemic law? Sweden's new pandemic law gives the government power to introduce extra measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, and if you break these, you could face fines or other legal sanctions. As of January 19th, the measures introduced under the law mostly applied to businesses rather than individuals. For example, shops, gyms and sports facilities are limited to a maximum of one person per ten square metres of usable space (not shelves or cash registers), and these limits must be stated in risk assessments and advertised on signs at every entrance, and stated in mandatory risk assessments. Venues found to violate these rules may be handed fines by local authorities. Individuals won't be fined if they enter a shop with too many people, but are expected to be aware of the limits and avoid indoor environments with a risk of crowding. Individuals could face fines if the government introduces certain other measures under the pandemic law. For example, this law gives the government power to limit the number of people who can gather in public places like parks and beaches. It hasn't used this possibility yet, but if it does, individuals who gather in larger numbers could face sanctions. Are there other coronavirus laws you could be fined for violating? As well as the pandemic law, you could be fined if you break other laws which relate to the pandemic, including Sweden's Public Order Act or Communicable Diseases Act. Under the Public Order Act, you could be fined if you organise an event for more than eight people. Under the Communicable Diseases Act, you could face fines or even jail time if you are found to have infected others with the coronavirus either knowingly or through negligence; the same applies to other socially dangerous diseases such as HIV. You could also face investigation if you do not get tested for the coronavirus even after being repeatedly called for a test, for example via contact tracing. What are the sanctions? The Swedish Prosecution Authority has proposed a fixed fine of 2,000 kronor ($240) for any violations of the new pandemic law, including the measures introduced so far and any which are introduced in the future. This fine would be issued by police on the spot, and could be issued to teenagers aged over 15 (the age of legal responsibility in Sweden) as well as adults. This proposal is currently set to come into force on January 27th. People who organise gatherings of more than eight people in violation of the Public Order Act could face fines or even imprisonment of up to six months. Police also have the power to shut down such gatherings. Under the Communicable Diseases Act, you could be convicted of assault if you deliberately infect someone else with Covid-19. Fines and jail sentences are also possible if you expose someone to illness through negligence,. This is in practice rare, but in Örebro for example a carer was prosecuted for going to work despite waiting for a Covid-19 test result, which was positive when it came. Which measures are not legally enforced? The recommendations (allmänna råd) from Sweden's Public Health Agency are not laws, and there are currently no sanctions for individuals who violate them. These recommendations include: limit socialising to a small circle of close family and friends; keep a distance from others in public places; work from home if you are able to; stay at home and avoid close contact with others if you have symptoms; avoid non-necessary travel; avoid unnecessary trips to shops and other indoor environments. These measures do have a basis in law. The Communicable Diseases Act requires everyone in Sweden to "take reasonable precautions to curb the spread of infectious diseases". The recommendations from the Public Health Agency are a way of telling the public which reasonable precautions you should take, but the recommendations leave room for adaptation to individual circumstances. What about face masks? Sweden's Public Health Agency recommends wearing a face mask on public transport between the hours 7-9 am and 4-6 pm on weekdays. This is not legally binding, with no sanctions for those violating the recommendation. Where can I find out more?

GWB applauds the stupidity of the above. Anti-Science, anti-freedom... When your annual death toll rises a few percent above a 5 year average...and you took no precautions....you did the right thing. The rest of the world with its stupid masks and life ruining lockdowns...yeah that’s the ticket for success.
So answer the question - Is 95K the highest number of yearly deaths reported in Swedish history? Yes or No? Keeping in mind that the death total is not complete for the year and the 95K does not include all of December... and is not the finalized number. Sweden's own government has stated their COVID policy completely failed. Any reasonable person goes with the government explanation aligned with the dismal data. If Sweden's COVID policies were so good then why is their federal government instituting country-wide lockdowns and restrictions?
From their writings and postings it appears GWB many lefties and many in the fear mongering media... hope that Sweden and other non lockdown countries perform poorly. Whereas any decent and rational person hopes every country and region does better regardless of their approach. Personally I would include the concept that the less damage done to the citizens as whole the better.
Answer the question - was 2019 death numbers of 88.7k the lowest annual recorded number of deaths since 1977??? Lots of dry tinder who would die if a bad flu came around. And look look look - barely a few percentage points higher in deaths above the 5 and 10 year averages. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Do you have any explanation for that? I know you are upset that there weren’t 200,000 dead in Sweden but the problem is that this virus just isn’t so deadly. And the numbers you spout are totally off and wrong and continue to get pressed lower over time. And the measures you suggests are insanely stupid and not working anywhere else. Because viruses virus. You don’t have a science background so let this be a lesson to you. Sweden was the model until the politicians felt the need to ‘do something’.
In what field of study did you graduate from University? How many years did you spend in labs, studying virology / immunology / recombinant DNA tech? After a year where deaths are the lowest in 40+ years, what would you expect to happen the next year...especially when a bad cold is going around? You are out of your league unless of course you can prove otherwise. Just whistling Dixie.
