    Mask-free Sweden nears zero daily Covid deaths as chief epidemiologist warns against ‘far-reaching conclusions’ about Delta strain

    As the CDC urges Americans to mask up against the Delta variant, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist has argued that more data is needed about the strain’s infectiousness. His mask-free nation is hovering at zero Covid deaths per day.


    Anders Tegnell said on Friday that there was “a lot we do not know” about Delta and cautioned against drawing “far-reaching conclusions” about the coronavirus strain. He noted that the variant had been circulating in Sweden “for quite some time” with little effect, particularly in high-risk settings such as nursing homes.

    His comments were made in response to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggesting the Delta strain is more transmissible and could potentially cause more severe illness. The New York Times and other media outlets ran stories reporting that the CDC now believes the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox – but this comparison didn’t seem to impress Tegnell.

    “It is difficult to say how contagious Delta is, [as] when it comes to chickenpox, we have been able to follow the disease for several years. The infectivity [of Delta] seems to be very uneven – in some cases, one person infects a hundred people, then we have other occasions when an infected person does not infect anyone at all,” he told Sweden’s Aftonbladet.

    In separate remarks, he pointed to the fact that one-third of the country’s municipalities reported zero new Covid cases over the past week. At the same time, there was an uptick in cases among young people in Stockholm and other large cities.

    And while US health authorities are pressing Americans in “high transmission” areas to mask up, Sweden dropped its last remaining mask recommendation – related to public transport – on July 1. While Sweden’s public health agency has supported measures such as social distancing and remote working, it has no recommendations for the use of face coverings in public spaces.

    Reviled by the media for refusing to impose harsh lockdowns, Sweden’s less draconian approach to the health crisis appears to be paying off: The Scandinavian nation has recorded a total of eight Covid-linked deaths so far this month, an average of 0.25 deaths per day. While it’s possible this number will increase due to reporting lags, deaths have undoubtedly plummeted over the past several months. On June 4, Sweden reported 13 deaths – more than the entire month of July.

    Not worth debating anymore about the power of vaccination and strict restrictions in the Sweden threads...a timely 1 - 2 punch plus a threat of a "lockdown" via their passage of the Pandemic Law...
    • Sweden finally are doing the right thing.
    In fact, their declining numbers are now great and in line with the rest of the Scandinavian countries.

    Just as importantly, their Anders Tegnell and the Swedish Health Agency are all fully vaccinated plus advocating vaccination after they abandon the failed Natural Herd Immunity policy that they originally pushed.

    Thus, Sweden is back to doing what they do best...having sex and winning in sports and they did that without vaccination mandates / without face mask wear mandates. :D

    This is called disinformation. Russia pushes this narrative in the west because they want to weaken the western world. The more western people they can get to be against mitigation efforts and vaccination the weaker the west will be.

    Again, I will reiterate you are the dumbest person this board.

    A lot of the Covid Deniers and Anti-Vaxxers at Elitetrader.com are not from the North America although there are a few U.S. folks here following their misinformation / disinformation such as the Qanon members / followers here at the forum.

    They hide well at this forum with their attacks on liberals / left wing and calling Americans anti-americans or liking the posts of the known forum racists at this forum in their political debates. :D
