gwb, Early in the Pandemic (last year)...I only came across one article sent to me by a relative in France whom is very close to someone that lives in Sweden as a University professor... Essentially, the people nearby the ethnic communities had great worries about the public awareness of Covid-19 within the ethnic communities. At that time, I came across only one other article by a foreign news agency (not by Swedish health officials). This statement stands out to me from the article you posted... Education is key in the fight against the infection / spread / hospitalization / deaths involving Covid-19. If the government intentional does not educate their citizens or residents...even the illegal immigrants about the threat from Covid-19... It's an invitation to poor performance in the fight to control an infection. The solution then makes a country very dependent upon development of a vaccine to save the day while they try to give the illusion that Sweden is the place to be during a Pandemic. wrbtrader
Thanks for confirming that Sweden has more deaths per million than the EU. Proper science requires comparing Sweden to its direct neighbors; Finland and Norway. Why don't you look at a comparison of COVID deaths in these neighboring countries. Oh, Sweden is 10 times worse than its neighbors - well that's how science works.
Things must be bad in Sweden when they take away the alcohol... Sweden Extends Alcohol Ban as Decline in Covid-19 Cases Stalls https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...cohol-ban-as-decline-in-covid-19-cases-stalls Sweden has extended an evening ban on alcohol sales, as the spread of the coronavirus remains high and the country sees an increasing number of Covid-19 cases caused by the more contagious virus variant. Bars won’t be allowed to sell alcohol after 8 p.m. until the end of February, and from March 1 until April 11, alcohol sales will be banned after 10 p.m., the government said in a statement. The decision, taken on Friday, comes amid growing concern about a third wave of transmission in the Nordic country, where the cases were decreasing rapidly until about two weeks ago. Since then, the decline has stalled and health agencies are reporting an increasing prevalence of the B117 variant believed to be more contagious. The variant that was first reported by the U.K. represented between 9% and 20% of all cases in four regions studied by the country’s Public Health Agency last week. It has also played a role in a local outbreak in the northern Vasterbotten region, where a number of infections have been found at the battery-cell maker Northvolt’s construction site in the town of Skelleftea. “Transmission remains at a high level and Sweden is still in an extraordinary situation,” the government said in its statement. “If the situation deteriorates, or doesn’t improve, the rule on a temporary alcohol ban may be extended further.”
Only a rabid asshole lying propagandist trying to make you not understand that on average lockdowns and shutdowns can not be demonstrated to have performed better than free countries and states (after the initial waves of death.) Only an asshole... would keep posting negative shit about a country which is matching if not outperforming his model model country. I just do not know why anyone would be such an asshole. Here is rock solid proof using the asshole's preferred data. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavi...othing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc
Every once in awhile...I come across a fact that's also very funny at the same time...at least once per week. That statement was funny. wrbtrader
Maybe Sweden will catch up to Denmark, Finland and Norway ? Most likely not because those countries have more people wearing Face Masks, Hand Washing and Social Distancing. Denmark for awhile...started catching up to Sweden. In fact, Denmark were doubting their shutdown because Sweden did not shutdown. What changed in Denmark to reverse course very fast from the January disaster ? They made Face Mask wearing mandatory (the prior month) for all indoor public places but started to enforce the face mask wearing and educating their citizens about its importance along with more restrictions without another lockdown. In fact, Denmark should continue declining in their Covid-19 statistics to where Finland and Norway are at because of new travel restrictions for those entering Denmark...they must have a negative Covid-19 test within a few days of entering Denmark. https://um.dk/en/travel-and-residence/coronavirus-covid-19/ To limit the introduction and spread of more contagious virus variants, persons entering Denmark will now be subject to mandatory testing and 10-day isolation. The new rules take effect from Sunday, 7 February 2021. https://en.coronasmitte.dk/rules-and-regulations/entry-into-denmark/legal-requirements-upon-entry Restrictions work !!! wrbtrader
"Jem" has lost his mind and seems awfully upset that some of us blocked him. Beyond "Buy1Sell2" and "Turkeyd", he has to be the third worst poster concerning Covid on this site. It's hard to be wrong about almost everything you post but he's succeeded for almost a year running now. He's still going on about Canada while his beloved San Diego County was running 5 times the rate of Ontario last time I looked. Sweden obviously is a complete failure concerning Covid yet some of these jokers still think they were a success. The goal posts keep bending as they try to pretend they were right about something despite a world a data that says otherwise. Concerning San Diego County, the only reason I looked at the numbers is I know someone who lives there. Who among us thought Covid numbers might drop 2-6 weeks after new restrictions were put in place ? A lot of us. That's the funny part, when posters who whine about restrictions all the time like toddlers then bring up the data AFTER new restrictions as supposedly supporting their ideas. No, dumb asses, it does quite the opposite.
