Sweden is rushing to launch a formal inquiry into its no-lockdown coronavirus strategy, as its death rate remains among the world's highest https://www.businessinsider.com/cor...ckdown-assessment-inquiry-deaths-mount-2020-6
You are still arguing for 3 day moving averages of deaths... That is so fricken stupid. Deaths cycle each week from lows on the weekends... in other words the data has seasonality longer than your look back period. It could not be more ignorant than to argue for that. as far as 7 day moving averages... please show the average for the last 30 days instead of the last 7 days. You will again see it is down... not rising.
Yes,, for more than two weeks now Sweden has led in 3 day and 7 day averages of deaths per capita. No other country even comes close. Obviously this is due to the complete failure of their government COVID policy.
Sweden deaths per 100,000 is 43.24 Belgium, UK, Spain, Italy have more France is virtually tied. NYC has much higher death rate than Sweden. Its probably for similar reasons. Lots of old folks were killed early on. Again... I would like to see you put your 7 day look back period average over the last 30 to 60 days. Now be responsible and show a chart in context of the last 30 to 60 days. You can see at my link the trend in deaths is down. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ If anyone can post a chart of daily deaths from my link... or tell me how... I would be obliged.
Enjoy your fantasy where you are trying to compare the NOW in Sweden with the past two months back in other countries. Let's focus on what is happening NOW in Sweden which has a rapidly rising death rate per capita -- far outstripping every other country on the globe.
you have not established that at all. I am focusing on what is happening now. We just need to see it in context... from every country. I have provided a link to the full data... you have presented nothing but short term bullshit. Maybe you are right... lets see it in context. All you have shown us is a 7 day snap shot... which barely covers the seasonality of the data. Why don't you post a chart with 60 days worth of data and the averages on it? What are you afraid of?
let me be more specific. you are fucking nuts if you think Sweden has a rapidly rising daily death per capita rate.. you really believe your own bullshit? just look at the data at worldometer. you are a fucking idiot. you really think deaths going my from a Sunday to a Thursday on your out of context bullshit chart means the death rate is rapidly rising. What an idiot you are, all you have to do is click on worldometer and see the daily deaths are trending down in sweden over the last few weeks. They are not rapidly rising by any measure outside the 7 day seasonality of last week (from sunday to about thursday.)
Coronavirus in Sweden: Anguished foreigners call it quits Sweden has left residents to decide for themselves how to behave in the COVID-19 pandemic. That's outraged some foreign residents, who now plan to move away from the country as soon as they can. https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-i...GK_RSS_SmartNews_Volltext_ENG-20051-xml-media
Left during the height of the pandemic? When all travel was shutdown. Nice fantasy. By the the height of the pandemic is NOW in Sweden. Nearly all other countries are shutting their borders to anyone from Sweden -- including their direct neighbors.
Man Behind Sweden’s Controversial Virus Strategy Admits Mistakes https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-virus-strategy-says-he-got-some-things-wrong Sweden’s top epidemiologist has admitted his strategy to fight Covid-19 resulted in too many deaths, after persuading his country to avoid a strict lockdown. “If we were to encounter the same illness with the same knowledge that we have today, I think our response would land somewhere in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done,” Anders Tegnell said in an interview with Swedish Radio. Tegnell is the brains behind Sweden’s controversial approach to fighting the virus, and the government of Stefan Lofven has deferred to the epidemiologist in its official response to the pandemic. Gatherings of more than 50 people continue to be banned, but throughout the crisis Swedes have been able to visit restaurants, go shopping, attend gyms and send children under 16 to school. The laxer approach to containing the virus has drawn both praise and condemnation from across the globe. What is beyond debate, however, is the effect the strategy has had on the country’s death toll. At 43 deaths per 100,000, Sweden’s mortality rate is among the highest globally and far exceeds that of neighboring Denmark and Norway, which imposed much tougher lockdowns at the onset of the pandemic. “Clearly, there is potential for improvement in what we have done in Sweden,” Tegnell said. The comments appeared to frustrate some members of the government. Sweden’s minister of health and social affairs, Lena Hallengren, said Tegnell “still can’t give an exact answer on what other measures should have been taken. That question remains, I think,” the minister said, according to Dagens Nyheter. Falling Behind Until now, Tegnell had argued that the long-term nature of the Covid-19 pandemic required a more sustainable response than severe and sudden lockdowns. Despite criticism from abroad, Tegnell’s strategy enjoyed widespread support in Sweden. But with many other European Union countries now rolling back their lockdowns after appearing to bring Covid-19 under control, there are signs that Sweden may be left behind. That includes the freedom of movement of its citizens, as some EU countries restrict access to people coming from what are deemed high-risk Covid zones. What’s more, there’s so far limited evidence that Sweden’s decision to leave much of its society open will support the economy. Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson recently warned that Sweden is facing its worst economic crisis since World War II, with GDP set to slump 7% in 2020, roughly as much as the rest of the EU. The government has started to grow concerned at the apparent missteps taken to fight the spread of the virus in Sweden. On Monday, Lofven promised there’d be an inquiry into the handling of the crisis before the summer. Some lawmakers in Sweden’s parliament were quick to weigh in. Jimmie Akesson, the leader of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats, tweeted that the comments by Tegnell are “astonishing.” “For months, critics have been consistently dismissed. Sweden has done everything right, the rest of the world has done it wrong. And now, suddenly, this,” Akesson said.
