No... we don't. This is your preferred data. This data... does not place the deaths back on the date they happened. (as Sweden's national website does) This is batched data in which Sweden reports 4 or so times a week.. . similar to all the other countries. Why the hell do you keep lying about this? Are you so dumb that you don't understand what your own citations have explained to you a dozen times. We have 2 ways to do it. Sweden reports all the deaths and then reconcile them to the date of death. Other countries just report the deaths and leave them there. Johns Hopkins data... takes Sweden reports... and just leaves the deaths with the date of the report. So it is not reconciled back to the date of death. hence your preferred data... can be seen as the same as the other countries. How many times do I have tell you that? https://ourworldindata.org/coronavi...othing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc
I have fully explained to you the Swedish death and case reporting system multiple times including the days of the week the data is reported, links to all the Swedish websites, and deep details on the process. You are pushing complete nonsense --- and I will no longer engage you while you spew idiocy on this subject merely to push your political agenda. Ourworldindata and John Hopkins have switched data sources and processes over time for Sweden and will likely change again in the future -- primarily due to Sweden's incomplete and delayed reporting methods -- and the difficulty in reconciling the date-of-death information.
So you really are an idiot and don't realize the purpose of a 7 day rolling average? That takes care of the multiple times a week reporting vs... the everyday reports. You do understand that don't you? Finally no one states Sweden has incomplete reporting nor has anyone ever stated that their reporting is delayed more than other countries... (other than during the holidays.) Why do you bullshit like that?
Sweden is still outperforming. Still 2nd best on my list and still improving. Sweden was the model and it performed no worse than so many lockdown countries. The left and the establishment can't allow you to understand that. So morons like gwb-lying will cut and paste the hate, the lies the propaganda... So you don't even try to think for yourself. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavi...othing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc[/QUOTE]
Very true... On November 30th 2020 - Ourworldindata changed from transitioned from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) to Johns Hopkins University as our source for confirmed cases and deaths. This followed the ECDC’s announcement that they were switching from daily to weekly updates. ------- Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic we have provided daily updates of confirmed cases and deaths for all countries. For most of this period, we relied on daily figures published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) as our underlying data source. The global dataset has been an incredibly valuable contribution from the ECDC over the course of this year. However, the European CDC announced in November 2020 that it would switch from a daily to weekly reporting schedule from December onwards. In order to continue providing daily updates for you, Our World in Data has decided to transition away from ECDC as our source. As of November 30th, all data on confirmed cases and deaths will be sourced from the daily dataset provided by Johns Hopkins University. This includes all confirmed cases and deaths data presented in individual charts on Our World in Data; the data included in our COVID-19 Data Explorer; and in our GitHub repository. We realize that many users rely on the data that we aggregate for their own work. We have therefore tried to minimize any knock-on impacts of this change as much as possible. The format (variable names and types) of our complete COVID-19 dataset remains the same — this should prevent any impacts for users sourcing this data from us directly. However, note that the source data is different; please make sure you update your source credits accordingly. The data last sourced from the ECDC remains available as an archive on GitHub. We will continue to provide daily updates for the months ahead. The other aspects of our data — including testing, policy responses, hospitalizations, and excess mortality — will continue as normal. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-source-data -------- wrbtrader
Reading between the lines about the below story...Anders Tegnell was in fact guiding Sweden to Natural Herd Immunity as confirmed by his email communication with other health individuals in other countries although he has recently been denying publicly that such was not the goal. Just the same, the White House of the United States was in fact doing the same. This would explain the reason why publicly the Trump / Pence administration plus Scott Atlas were downplaying the threat of Covid...resulting in Covid spreading so fast and deep into so many states...so many infections, hospitalizations and deaths. The White House then panic...the government did a lockdown. In my opinion, that's criminal because it didn't allow the countries to properly prepare the protect the vulnerable and ethnic communities. People should be arrested in the government of Sweden and the United States for intentionally having a public health policy that wanted people to die through Natural Herd Immunity and then tried to cover-up what they were doing. The fact that Anders Tegnell was communicating with other countries in private (secrecy)...I wouldn't be surprise that he was also in communication with Scott Atlas and the Trump / Pence administration. It would also explain why the United States allowed their borders to be open for almost another month to Europe plane travelers but using the closure of their border to China as an illusion that they were on top of Covid when in fact they really wanted it to spread instead of damaging the economy. These corrupt assholes wanted a large part of their countries population to be killed (its murder in my opinion) for some bullshit Natural Herd Immunity policy that every computer research model in the world would result in millions of deaths in each country via such a policy. Today, +1 million people saw their grandparents killed by Covid with the help / support by these corrupt individuals that I view as murderers and its another reason why countries can not protect their vulnerable when you have people like this controlling public health policies. Their goal was not to protect...it was to infect. ------- The Inside Story of How Sweden Botched Its Coronavirus Response Stockholm denies pursuing herd immunity. But internal emails show Swedish officials were resigned to mass infections all along. By Kelly Bjorklund December 22, 2020, 4:29 PM A sign instructing people to wash their hands—featuring a portrait of chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, the face of Sweden’s response to the pandemic—hangs at an entrance to a restaurant in Stockholm on May 10. One month after declaring the coronavirus a “socially dangerous” disease in February, the Swedish Public Health Agency essentially threw up its hands and chose to seek herd immunity rather than take serious steps to mitigate the virus’s spread, confidential internal documents show. That fateful—and fatalistic—early decision shaped Sweden’s entire response to the pandemic, from a refusal to mandate masks to a haphazard testing regime. Sweden’s botched coronavirus response is no longer news: Even the country’s king, Carl XVI Gustaf, admitted in his annual Christmas address that the Swedish government had “failed.” But private emails seen by Foreign Policy, some of which have been previously reported in the Swedish press, reveal that Sweden’s health authorities were resigned to mass infections—so called herd immunity—all along, and no matter the costs. Throughout the pandemic, Sweden’s health authorities have said one thing publicly and something different in private about nearly every aspect of their management of the crisis. There were repeated public denials from the government that it deliberately sought to achieve herd immunity, even though that was the strategy pursued behind closed doors. There were misleading statements on the availability of testing. There was even continued public denial (despite private acknowledgement) of how the virus spreads, part of a pattern of apparent official obfuscation that’s lasted the whole pandemic. And the result has been deadly. While countries such as the United States, Brazil, and India have made headlines for recording the highest number of coronavirus-related fatalities, Sweden’s death rate of over 80 per 100,000 people is among Europe’s highest and is around 10 times as great as those of Norway and Finland, and over four times Denmark’s. COVID-19 hospitalizations are now rising faster there than in most European countries, and Sweden is caring for more patients in hospital now than it did at the height of its first wave. By Dec. 21, Sweden had surpassed the United States and all major European countries in its daily confirmed cases per million. Things have gotten so out of control in Sweden that neighboring Norway, for the first time since World War II, put troops on the border to prevent Swedes from crossing over. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Nov. 19 report concluded that Sweden fared worst among 35 European countries in multiple coronavirus management metrics including lowering the spread of infection, reducing people’s mobility, and discharging patients from intensive care units. Sweden’s true handling of the pandemic matters, and not just because of how it has impacted its population of just over 10 million. Around much of Europe, and especially in the United States, Sweden’s hands-off approach to a deadly pandemic was, for some, a model to emulate. U.S. President Donald Trump’s coronavirus advisor Scott Atlas, for example, publicly hailed Sweden’s approach as a model, even as its catastrophic performance—especially when compared to its neighbors—becomes ever clearer.

JONATHAN NACKSTRAND/AFP via Getty Images When the Swedish government categorized COVID-19 as a socially dangerous disease on Feb. 2, Peet Tull was sitting on a lonely farm on the Swedish island of Gotland, watching developments with concern. Tull was one of the people who built up the country’s infection control unit: He had been Public Health Agency Director Johan Carlson’s boss and also given assignments to Anders Tegnell, the agency’s chief epidemiologist, whom he knows well. Another thing Tull knows well is the Infection Control Act, because he participated in drafting it—and he wondered why Sweden hadn’t implemented a contact-tracing system or put travelers from international COVID-19 hot spots in quarantine. As he observed global coronavirus cases surge, Tull wrote an email to Tegnell on March 15, proposing three possible options to deal with the pandemic. Option one, he said, would be to “stop all movement and contacts for a four-week period.” Another option, one recommended by the World Health Organization, would be to conduct intensive testing, tracking, and quarantine of infected patients. Or, he said, Sweden could pursue a third option: “Let the spread of infection take place, slowly or quickly, to achieve a hypothetical herd immunity.” Tull warned: “One thing is known that with option three Sweden will probably have thousands of deaths,” and concluded that “option three appears to me as a defeatist and headless strategy, which I would never have accepted in my previous role.” Right from the start, according to recently declassified internal emails, Tegnell seemed resigned to pursuing herd immunity for Swedes, seeing little chance of stopping COVID-19 through the means successfully employed in other countries. Tegnell, the state epidemiologist, answered him the same day: “Well, we have walked through this and after everything landed on [option] three. We probably have a fairly extensive silent spread, which would mean that the first two would probably not work.” Tull outlined actions to take including issuing general advice and regulations for testing and contact-tracing. Tegnell demurred, arguing that such a strategy hadn’t worked in Italy. Tull countered that it worked in China and South Korea—so why not in Sweden? Right from the start of the pandemic, according to recently declassified internal emails seen by Foreign Policy, Tegnell seemed resigned to pursuing herd immunity for Swedes, seeing little chance of stopping COVID-19 through the means successfully employed in other countries such as South Korea or Vietnam. Whether or not Sweden publicly admitted its strategy was to pursue herd immunity, other countries began to cite its approach as such. In July, according to a report in Politico, White House advisors promoting herd immunity referenced a June study by Sweden’s pandemic modeler, Tom Britton, which said that herd immunity could occur after just 43 percent of a population became infected—an estimate far lower than what most other epidemiologists have put forward. Britton told Foreign Policy that his calculations that Sweden would reach herd immunity turned out to be incorrect. Britton now says that U.S. government officials misinterpreted his study and that using his June research to promote herd immunity was wrong, adding that “too many people will die in order to reach herd immunity.” The Swedish and international public, though, were repeatedly told that herd immunity was not Stockholm’s objective. State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell of the Public Health Agency of Sweden talks to reporters after a news conference in Stockholm on May 6. CLAUDIO BRESCIANI/TT NEWS AGENCY/AFP via Getty Images On March 15, the day Tegnell wrote Tull they had landed on option three, Tegnell said the Public Health Agency’s “main tactic” was not herd immunity, adding that its goal and herd immunity were “not contradictory.” But in public, Tegnell frequently argued that herd immunity was “definitely not” a goal. As recently as Nov. 18, Minister of Health and Social Affairs Lena Hallengren said that the idea that Sweden had pursued a herd immunity strategy was a “rumor.” The day before his correspondence with Tull, Tegnell forwarded an email to his Finnish counterpart, Mika Salminen, which contained a recommendation from a doctor to allow people to become infected with COVID-19. “One point would be to keep schools open to reach herd immunity more quickly,” Tegnell wrote. Salminen said his agency had ultimately rejected such an approach, realizing children would still spread the virus, whereas closing schools could limit the disease’s impact on the elderly by about 10 percent. Tegnell, who still thought that quickly achieving herd immunity was the best strategy, responded: “10 percent might be worth it?” The next day, Tegnell forwarded a study on Italy’s experience with COVID-19 to Jan Albert, a professor of microbiology, who was part of a coronavirus expert group assembled a few weeks earlier by the Karolinska Institute, a university and the center of Sweden’s medical research community. Tegnell pointed to what seemed to be a “flattening of new cases” there. “In the autumn there will be a second wave. Sweden will have a high level of immunity and the number of cases will probably be quite low,” Tegnell said, a claim he repeated into mid-October. Albert replied: “Exactly. But most people think it’s just the lockdown. How much [is because of] lockdown and how much [is because of] herd immunity is really the key issue.” Tegnell answered: “If anyone had time, you should look at the various lockdowns that have been made and what the development looks like afterwards. I believe more in herd immunity.’’ Tegnell remained convinced that a rapid spread of the virus would shield Sweden, a belief that seemed to lead the country’s whole response to the crisis. A month after corresponding with Tull, Tegnell said Stockholm could achieve herd immunity in May. Three weeks later, he said: “In the autumn there will be a second wave. Sweden will have a high level of immunity and the number of cases will probably be quite low,” a claim he repeated into mid-October. Carlson, Tegnell’s boss, echoed on Aug. 30 what Tegnell wrote Tull: “It is not about us sacrificing a lot of people to achieve immunity. This model was the only one that was feasible. Our assessment has proven to be correct. The strategy must last over time. We are one of the few countries with a limited spread of infection, unlike several countries in Europe where the infection returns sharply.” It didn’t work out that way. Sweden is facing an increase in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. On Nov. 5, the country reached the grim statistic of 6,000 deaths. In the six weeks since, nearly 2,000 more have died. In the week ending Dec. 18, Sweden registered 479 new deaths, more than Norway has during the entire pandemic. People gather for drinks at the Half Way Inn pub in central Stockholm on March 23. Sweden is the only democratic country in the world that does not recommend masks as the coronavirus pandemic continues. Maskless passengers wait on a crowded train platform in Stockholm on Dec. 4. Jonas Gratzer/Getty Images The fatalistic approach taken by Sweden’s health authorities beginning in March shaped nearly every aspect of the country’s response to the pandemic for the rest of the year: If the coronavirus can’t be successfully contained, as Tegnell and others argued in private, then why implement measures such as mask mandates, limits on retirement home visits, or restricting people’s movements? From the very beginning, Sweden sought a different approach—even if it said publicly that it was following the same strategy as other countries. On March 4, before Sweden’s first official death from COVID-19, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control convened a meeting for European Union countries and WHO. Sweden did not participate. A day after Tegnell corresponded with Tull, he discussed the EU’s not-yet-released border recommendations, including health checks, with Andreas Johansson and others at the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. “This table contains a long list of details where we have a completely different strategy in Sweden,” he wrote. Tegnell opposed border health screenings and did not support EU measures to limit case importation or exportation, arguing that since domestic spread had already begun in most countries, border limits would be relatively meaningless. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/12/22/sweden-coronavirus-covid-response/ ------- You may have posted about the article above but I wanted to revisit that article because it explains why the Trump / Pence administration, Scott Atlas, Sweden and Tegnell has all denied Natural Herd Immunity was their goal. They know if the world knew what actually was being decided in privacy...world public health policies would have gone with their computer models and held congressional / parliament investigations about what these individuals were truly trying to do. There would have been summer riots (2020) and storming of the Capitol (Jan 2021) look like childplay. Today marks the one year anniversary of the WHO declaring Covid a Pandemic. People in the government needs to be held accountable. +3k healthcare individuals lost their lives to Covid while trying to save the lives of those infected with Covid. I'm lucky, there are 3 relatives working on the frontlines in the United States and my girlfriend here in Québec, Canada...I have not lost any of them. If the above truth doesn't bother you...take a close look at our fallen law enforcement individuals killed by Covid / Tegnell / Trump Pence administration / Scott Atlas. https://www.odmp.org/search/incident/covid-19 Now we have to deal with the misinformation campaign from the Covidiots on the Right...poisoning the minds of those in the ethnic communities...causing many to believe the vaccines are not safe and should not be taken. Simply, the bullshit politics is continuing so that more will die from Covid and bitch about lockdowns / restrictions to help create FEAR. In some ways, continuing the false narratives about Natural Herd Immunity on local levels. The only positive about this bullshit...we were able to vote out that prior corrupt administration that wanted to kill off as many Americans as possible for the sake of some bullshit Natural Herd Immunity policy that they got from a guy in Sweden that's now publicly denying such was his policy and the Swedish government / health officials has admitted that Natural Herd Immunity had failed although they don't refer to it as Natural Herd Immunity. I call bullshit on Sweden. wrbtrader
Still 2nd best on the list... I made https://ourworldindata.org/coronavi...othing=7&pickerMetric=location&pickerSort=asc Infections may be plateauing... or starting to drop. ICU admits starting to drop again... If that keeps up... based on previous correlations deaths will get continue to drop to very low levels. This can be seen on the official cite and worldomenter. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa/page/page_0/ ------ For those interested in to see how geBE-lying purposely conflates facts to turn them into lies... You can see the difference between the two methods of recording deaths for Sweden. You can see on the Official cite in Swedish and the Worldometer site... that deaths are at 3 today (as they reconciled the batched data to the actual date of death) Whereas deaths for today using Hopkins data at ourworldindata are higher... (that data is not reconciled to the date of death... its just left batched.) Moron gwBe-lying knows this because he used to love to use the Reuters batched data to act like they were having more death in a day than they really were. Notice he does not do that anymore... because even the batched data is much much lower now.
Sweden’s failed COVID strategy leaves the country deeply divided The Swedish model became a symbol for anti-lockdown and no-mask movements across the world. But it's no longer a source of consensus at home https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/ca...d-strategy-leaves-the-country-deeply-divided/ Sweden, a bastion of welfare and one of the countries that scores highest on pretty much anything to do with the wellbeing of its inhabitants, seems to have woken up to a serious identity crisis. The choice to adopt and follow a COVID-19 strategy unlike any other in Europe has recently led to an extreme polarization in an otherwise rather homogenous public debate. Statistics prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the other Scandinavian countries, which enforced much stricter policies, have suffered considerably fewer losses. Sweden’s state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, who firmly opposed face masks and believed that measures should rely only on the Swedish people’s sense of personal responsibility, enjoyed overwhelming support in the early phases of the crisis. Fan pages, mostly on Facebook, counted tens of thousands of members. His face featured on T-shirts, gadgets and even a tattoo, worn on the arm by one of his proudest admirers. The alluring message that Sweden’s approach was right and everybody else’s self-isolation regime was hopelessly wrong reached well beyond the nation’s borders. In other European countries, staunch critics of lockdowns pointed at footage of happy, bare-faced Swedes hanging out in crowded bars as evidence that the draconian measures imposed elsewhere were an unnecessary violation of civil rights. The Swedish model became a symbol for anti-lockdown and no-mask movements across the world. Beyond the ‘opinion corridor’ But now, one year after the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in Scandinavia, the situation has changed dramatically. Sweden’s Public Health Agency recently announced that several among its key figures have been granted police protection. Tegnell himself is currently enduring massive criticism and even death threats. In one instance, a citizen went so far as to argue that he should be “executed by a firing squad on live state television”. Tegnell is currently enduring massive criticism and even death threats And yet, despite the fact that both King Carl XVI Gustaf and prime minister Stefan Löfven in December publicly acknowledged that the Swedish approach had failed, Tegnell has never retracted anything, let alone made an official apology. Until very recently, an astounding, near total lack of criticism, not only from public opinion but even from major opposition parties, characterised Sweden’s COVID. This might be due to the so-called åsiktskorridor (‘opinion corridor’). This is a Swedish concept meaning that the public debate tends to take place within certain limits, along an established path. Those who disagree, often choose not to speak out. They feel out of tune with the rest of society. Hate speech Andreia Rodrigues, a 26-year-old law graduate from Portugal, started organizing protests in central Stockholm in the early days of the pandemic, when she realized that the lack of preventive measures could lead to a large number of casualties. She was met with suspicion and hostility. “Especially during the first few weeks, many would tell us to go home if we didn’t like Sweden’s strategy,” she recalls. “Others would shout ‘long live Sweden’, as if we were enemies of the country just because we expressed an opinion which differed from the mainstream one.” There were some people who would send messages to express solidarity to her group, called “Save Sweden – COVID-19”, but would not want to join for fear of the stigma. “They would write things like ‘what would my family and my colleagues say if they understood that I am critical of the strategy?’” "I received a letter in my postbox referring to me as a traitor, I got hate speech… calling me a dirty foreigner" Keith Begg, a 46-year-old Irish/Swedish national, was another key figure who lobbied for a stricter pandemic strategy. The moderator of a private Facebook page called “Media watchdogs of Sweden”, which is critical of Sweden’s COVID-19 strategy, Begg recently decided to move back to Ireland after his group was accused on public radio of deliberately trying to damage Swedish interests abroad. “I received a letter in my postbox referring to me as a traitor, I got hate speech… calling me a dirty foreigner,” Begg told The Irish Times. Haters deemed one group of people even more despicable than foreigners who had a critical view of Sweden: they were the so-called landsförrädare, ‘traitors’. Early in spring last year, a group of 22 researchers, later referred to as ‘the 22’, published an open letter criticizing Sweden’s Public Health Agency in the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. They did so at a time when the vast majority of the population supported “the strategy”. Lena Einhorn, a virologist and a member of the 22, knows how it feels to receive abusive mail and even threats. Now that public opinion has shifted, it is someone else’s turn to be affected by “the shit we received this spring”, she told Swedish news agency TT. She underlined that at the time, “prime minister Stefan Löfven did not express any anger for what we were being exposed to.” Scarred and divided But with the Swedish public more divided than ever, politicians appear to increasingly deny the obvious. Tegnell himself went as far as to claim that “the Swedish strategy is actually similar to those adopted by all countries”, raising a few eyebrows among his Scandinavian neighbours. Norway, for one, had repeatedly warned Sweden against its strategy early in the crisis – not least because it was pretty clear that pursuing such different paths would have damaged the close cooperation and exchange of workforces between the two countries. The first time the authorities advised people to use face masks on public transport at peak time, was in December While the then-US president, Donald Trump, and UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, gave up on their idea of herd immunity as a viable solution very early on, Sweden de facto stuck to it for much longer – and imposed the first measures far too late. The first time the authorities advised people to use face masks on public transport at peak time was in December. Some blame Sweden’s failures and shortcomings on the enormous power entrusted to the Public Health Agency, which is part of Sweden’s “administration model”. Agencies are in charge of making day-to-day decisions in the areas they are responsible for. It is very likely that once the threat is over, this model will have to be dismantled and rebuilt. The handing of the pandemic will inevitably leave Swedish society deeply scarred and divided, while its repercussions might be felt way beyond the next general elections in September 2022.
Sweden was right. Do nothing. They missed the old age homes but otherwise, they did everything right. Then they panicked because the King said something or another. Excess deaths were limited making this the most pathetic pandemic that wasn’t a pandemic. Stripping your citizens of their rights and freedoms is not a solution.
I believe a lot of Sweden's discontent now deals with the fact they had the "Lockdown Lite" policy (phrase they coined) and everybody was happy. Yet, their poor Covid performance in comparison to other countries that DID NOT lockdown...started making them think they are going about this policy the wrong way especially after so many initial deaths in the first few months. Then the restrictions started while those same countries that DID NOT lockdown continue with the excellent Covid performance. Next, the growing threat from the variants of Covid, border problems with workers (e.g. Sweden recently had closed its borders to Norway...causing many to lose income) and then the Pandemic Law gets approved. A lot of discontent citizens in Sweden and its growing because of the restrictions. Vaccination (more of it) seems to be their only route to herd immunity just like the rest of world regardless if other countries had lockdown or not. The one common key with those other countries...they protected their elderly, ethnic communities, migrant workers very well in the beginning... Sweden did not because Sweden’s state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell email correspondence with health officials in other countries reveal he and Sweden wanted people to get infected. In many countries (e.g. Canada, United States and France)...if you intentionally infect someone with a deadly infection or put them in an environment so that they can get a deadly infection... That's murder and at the minimum its consider assault via Covid being used as a weapon. Anders Tegnell is in deep trouble in Sweden. The good thing for him...Sweden government was involved in approving the "Lockdown Lite" politcy. Thus, the government can't do anything to him...he now only has to worry about those not in the government. Now imagine the uproar in Sweden if those variants of Covid (more contagious / deadly) causes Sweden to do a Lockdown if the infections / deaths begin to rise after showing some recent declines ? He'll need to leave the country or get security because he himself decided in the beginning to not pursue a different "no lockdown" route as South Korea and Vietnam as revealed in the email correspondences... Yet, I'm not sure why he stated Sweden was not able to implement a similar health policy. wrbtrader
