you lying pieces of shit...gwb-hates freedom. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...-spike-than-much-of-europe-data-idUSKBN2BG1R9 STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden, which has shunned the strict lockdowns that have choked much of the global economy, emerged from 2020 with a smaller increase in its overall mortality rate than most European countries, an analysis of official data sources showed. ---- https://ourworldindata.org/explorer...L~CAN~FRA~GRC~GBR~USA&Metric=Confirmed+deaths
Let's compare Sweden to it direct neighbors. Sweden had 10X the death rate of it neighbors and its economy tanked just as bad as it neighbors. Even the Prime Minister and King came out and stated the COVID strategy in Sweden completely failed. It is time you follow their lead and stop pushing your absurd narrative.
and so what does that prove... Sweden's neighbors locked down their borders... but only had very short lock downs and they did very well. From what I read they seem to have closely followed the strategy... DePrado and myself spoke of over a year ago. Sweden still outperformed many lockdown countries in 2020... and has outperformed your model country... Germany for pretty much the last year... ---- https://ourworldindata.org/explorer...L~CAN~FRA~GRC~GBR~USA&Metric=Confirmed+deaths
Sweden's Health Officials released a report several years earlier that their healthcare system was ill prepared (not their exact words) to manage ethnic communities, individuals with underlying medical conditions and their elderly population if an epidemic or pandemic were to hit Sweden. Simply, Sweden had plenty of warnings...several years in advance prior to 2020 when the Pandemic hit. Yet, they used / promoted the Natural Herd Immunity policy via the theme of "No Lockdown Lite". In addition, Tegnell himself used the phrase Natural Herd Immunity in many of his interviews early in the Pandemic. Then when the shit hit the fan (excessive high mortality) and months later (late fall of 2020)...they start to backtrack / whitewash the facts via trying to convince their Scandinavian neighbors and the world that their healthcare policy did not involve Natural Herd Immunity. Now there's a growing group of assholes that have no association with Sweden and no healthcare policy background...they're spreading misinformation that had Sweden stayed on the path of Natural Herd Immunity... They would have had the same current declining Covid numbers without any vaccinations / strict restrictions. Covid Deniers Full Metal Stupidity #stopwhitewashing wrbtrade
You would think that after watching the overwhelming deaths in Italy and Spain in early 2020 -- that Sweden would have their strategy in place by the time COVID appeared in Sweden. Sadly their strategy was "natural herd immunity" which failed miserably. In no way was Sweden caught unaware of COVID at the onset. Any statement that the elderly in Sweden died before the country "commenced its coronavirus strategies" is absurd.
Your are a liar and a huge moron... their death spikes happened within 2 to 3 weeks of each other on the Johns Hopkins data... the data you prefer... You just proved my point... and although Sweden's deaths per million were significantly lower than spain and italy... Sweden's old people got destroyed early... I provided that data to you over and over. you can see that in the chart below. What a commie freedom hating idiot you are. https://ourworldindata.org/explorer...Align+outbreaks=false&country=SWE~DEU~ESP~ITA
Sweden had it's COVID strategy in place well before these deaths. In fact all the "no lockdown" advocates were already promoting the Swedish strategy well before the spike. In fact this thread was created by wildchild in March of 2020 in an attempt to promote Sweden's disastrous COVID strategy.
Completely agree... ----------- Preparedness In risk and impact assessments by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the Swedish expert agency on crisis management, the risk of Sweden in the future being affected by a severe pandemic was assessed as "high" with a "catastrophic" impact on human health and economics. They believed that a future pandemic would be inevitable within 5–50 years. In the 2019 Global Health Security Index of the ‘most prepared’ countries in the world for an epidemic or a pandemic published by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, Sweden was ranked 7th overall. Sweden received high rankings regarding prevention of the emergence of a new pathogen, early detection and reporting of an epidemic of international concern and having a low risk environment. However, the Swedish healthcare system received a lower score, questioning if it was sufficient and robust enough to treat the sick and protect health workers. In 2013, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency investigated Sweden's ability to cope with a pandemic through a simulation where a severe avian influenza infects a third of the population, out of which 190,000 gets severely ill, and up to 10,000 die from the disease. They concluded that Sweden was generally well prepared, with pandemic plans on both national and regional level, but that the health-care system would be the weak link. They noted that Swedish hospitals were already under heavy burden, and would not have the capacity to treat everyone who become sick, even when alternative facilities (like schools and sports centres) were used as hospitals. They also pointed out that issues concerning prioritizing, including triage, would become central during the crisis, and that they believed this subject needed to be addressed..... ---------- Guess what...Sweden and the world then gets hit with a Pandemic and Sweden never fixed the weak links in their healthcare system that allowed Covid to hit hard their ethnic communities, individuals with underlying medical conditions and the elderly. Look at the years above...2013 and 2019. Covid hits in early 2020 in which Tegnell and gang knew they weren't prepared. They then decide what they thought would be the best approach...Natural Herd Immunity in hopes of removing any responsibility of the problems in their healthcare policy. Essentially they did nothing as in a Lockdown Lite policy. It attracted the world attention of those that do not believe in lockdowns / restrictions. Yet, as the year progressed...Sweden Health Officials and Tegnell started openly discussing their approach to the Pandemic had failed but they could not admit it was the Natural Herd Immunity policy. Regardless, it doesn't matter the name of their policy. The fact is that their policy they used was the same policy in place prior to the Pandemic that involved protecting the freedoms & liberties of their citizens. Actually, I believe Sweden healthcare policy was in line with their Constitution involving their Freedoms in which Sweden change an aspect of the law either late 2020 or early 2021 to allow it to use a lockdown if / when needed (links posted early in the year). Simply, the fact is that Sweden did very little until the vaccinations and strict restrictions of 2021 until they made a "change" in their constitution that open the door for more strict restrictions and a possible lockdown if needed. Sweden's health care policy and reminders about their freedoms as in law of their Constitution had already been promoted at least late January 2020 when I first made a post about Sweden's healthcare policy in another thread. Also, you're correct...when this thread was created in March of 2020...I think it was almost 2 weeks after Sweden's first known Covid death involving someone that returned back from Wuhan. To be more precise...the thread starter wildchild had already started calling other Covid news stories as "hoaxes" and referring to other members that warned about Covid as "hoaxsters" back in January of 2020 in which he then gradually started using the name of Sweden... Then Sweden had their first Covid death on March 11th in Stockholm in which the deaths then exploded in a grand fashion in Sweden after March 11th. The Covid Denier wildchild then started this thread on March 30th, 2020 but only after arguing with multiple members about Covid for a few months earlier. He then abandon this thread in May when he realized that Covid was real and the world was going to be fucked. In his opening post of this thread...he compares Sweden to Denmark and Norway...Scandinavia. #stopwhitewashing wrbtrader
Sweden locked down its old folk homes and then the deaths to old folks started to go down.. I remember showing you articles on it. Protect and isolate the high risk.. let the low risk live... has always been the correct model. You novel concept of locking down the low risk in wide areas styled after the approach in China but not done to the same degree failed over and over.
You really should go read in detail what the Swedish government had to say about your nonsense in regards to the elderly today.
