Sweden sparks coronavirus exodus as residents blast Government response to outbreak SWEDEN could suffer a haemorrhage of residents in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic as locals and expats warn the Government of a loss of public confidence. https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1290624/Sweden-news-coronavirus-pandemic-exodus-COVID-19-latest
Sweden now has world's highest death rate after it decided to ignore lockdown advice https://www.independent.ie/world-ne...cided-to-ignore-lockdown-advice-39255795.html Sweden has taken the ignominious title of the country with the world's highest death rate from Covid-19. The title, which was briefly held by the UK late last month, comes after Swedish officials decided to ignore the lockdown advice of countless health experts and kept the country largely open during the pandemic. The number of deaths per capita in Sweden is now more than four times that of its Nordic neighbours. And while its death toll of around 4,500 is a fraction of other badly affected countries, such as the US (105,000) and the UK (38,000), it is the death rate that reveals the true impact of Sweden's no-lockdown approach. The rolling seven-day average for new confirmed deaths per million people in Sweden is now nearly twice that of the US and more than five-times that of France, which had the highest death rate in the world in April. France imposed a strict lockdown, similar to those of Italy and Spain, in an attempt to contain severe outbreaks of the deadly virus. These lockdowns have proven to be an extremely effective strategy in the fight against coronavirus, with death rates dropping drastically in all of the countries that imposed them. Countries that pre-empted large-scale outbreaks with early lockdowns, such as New Zealand, appear to have almost entirely eliminated the virus. Yet while social distancing, PPE advice and other containment measures have helped slow the spread in Sweden, a lack of lockdown means the country's infection rate shows no sign of falling. When Sweden is compared to other Nordic countries, the scale of the country's coronavirus crisis seems even more pronounced. Sweden's hope has been to achieve herd immunity, whereby enough of the population has been infected that coronavirus can no longer spread widely. Yet studies in May suggest that Sweden is nowhere near the threshold needed to realise this. Experts claim that at least 60pc of the population would need to have Covid-19 antibodies before herd immunity is reached. The government had hoped for 20pc immunity by the end of May, but instead only 7.3pc have it. This is lower than most countries that enforced lockdowns, including the UK and US, yet with still no lockdown in place, the full impact for Sweden may be a long way from being realised.
That's outraged some foreign residents, who now plan to move away from the country as soon as they can. My response was that they should have left when things were bad. Not when the death rate has dropped significantly from the height. Whether they could technically leave or not... probably depends on where they were from. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ I know you keep pretending their daily death rate is rising... But... luckily anyone can see the data themselves and know you and your ilk are full of shit... beyond belief.
Things are at their worst now in Sweden.... the death rate is rising at the world's most rapid pace per capita every day. Besides they could not leave in the past because every country had their borders closed. Now that all the countries are opening their borders; Sweden is excluded since they handled the COVID crisis so poorly and have widespread infections.
you keep posting the same lie... over an over.. you are a sick dude. so I will do it your way... 6 deaths 2 days ago 65 deaths yesterday today. just look at the real data... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/ that is what about 3 deaths per million average for the last 2 days on the graph? Which is about the same as the US for the last 2 days. That is not rapidly rising. Its far below the peak a few months ago. And in line with many shutdown countries. By the way using 2 days worth of charts has the exact same value as using 7 days and starting with the low on a weekend. They are both terrible ways to compare but it is the method you keep hyping.
A Warning From Sweden https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamhaseltine/2020/06/04/a-warning-from-sweden/#f9070744c56a Sweden now has among the highest per capita death rates from Covid-19 in the world. Why? The answer is simple. Sweden was lax in its implementation of protective measures in the face of the outbreak, refusing to implement broad stay at home orders for residents, or to enforce recommendations to wear masks or social distancing measures. Other than the government decision to shut down universities and high schools, compliance to public health recommendations was entirely voluntary. Early on, my Swedish friends seemed proud of their exceptionalism. They sent many of their children to school without many of the protections that are both in place and under consideration in many other countries. Outside the country, many voiced their praise of Sweden’s “common sense” approach, which they wagered would be less economically destructive than stricter measures and would not lead to any greater number of deaths. They were wrong. Even the chief architect of the Swedish anti-coronavirus plan is able to admit it. In an interview translated by Reuters, Sweden’s chief epidemiologist told Swedish radio that the country clearly could have done better in fighting the virus and that there was “quite obviously a potential for improvement in what we have done.” In particular, he said Sweden should have started testing earlier and more extensively and they should have done more to protect older adults in Sweden’s long term care centers, where more than half of all Sweden’s coronavirus-deaths have occurred. For all the loss Swedes have endured, there has been no associated economic gain, which is what many claimed was the saving grace of the Swedish approach. According to the European Commission, Sweden’s economic forecast of a 6% reduction in GDP for 2020 is on par with its neighbors, Norway and Denmark who implemented much stricter lockdown measures. Sweden’s story is a lesson for all of us around what happens when we pull back on social distancing and prudent epidemic control measures. Here in the United States, our epidemic control measures were already relatively relaxed, accounting for our near steady rate of about 20,000 newly diagnosed Covid-19 cases per day for more than two months. The data from Sweden tells us what is likely to happen next—an ever-accelerating increase in the rate of infection followed by a rising death toll. That, in turn, is very likely to be followed by continued restrictions on public gatherings, school openings, and public confidence in our government’s ability to protect us. With Operation Warp Speed, one can’t help but wonder if perhaps the plan is to pin all hopes on a vaccine rather than use the public health tools we know can work to control the pandemic. If that is the case, we should be aware that our hope in a vaccine is far brighter than preliminary public data suggests it should be. The current generation of vaccines are likely to offer only partial protection, and likely only to some of us not all. With the new vaccines will come new risks, and unknown safety profiles. As we contemplate easing public health measures even further thanks to unfounded hope in a vaccine, I ask each of us to contemplate whether the Swedish example is showing us what we will be risking with this approach—our lives, our economy, and our children.
Swedish Faith in Covid Strategy Plunges After Errors Revealed https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...on-covid-strategy-despite-admitting-to-errors Swedes’ confidence in their country’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis has plunged to less than half the population, as the scientist behind the controversial strategy admits he made mistakes. A poll published on Thursday shows an 18 percentage point slump in Swedish support for the government’s response to the virus, including its decision to leave much of society open during the spread of the pandemic. According to the Novus poll published by Sweden’s state broadcaster SVT, only 45% of Swedes now have “fairly high or very high” faith in the strategy, compared with 63% in April. (More at above url)
you keep posting the same propaganda / lie... over an over.. you are a sick dude. so we do it your way with ridiculously short lookbacks... last 4 days of daily deaths 6 deaths 65 deaths 74 yesterday 20 today just look at the real daily deaths data... over say the last month and you will see an obvious trend down https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
You realize that today's stats are not complete yet, eh? These numbers clearly place Sweden as the leader worldwide in death rate per capita over the past couple weeks -- and the situation just keeps looking more glum.
