‘I’ve never written so many death certificates’: Is Sweden having second thoughts on lockdown? ‘The data says we are heading for catastrophe, we are now part of an experiment without informed consent,’ expert tells Heba Habib, reporting from Stockholm https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...octor-death-certificates-latest-a9462796.html
As Bill Gates said: "I don't think any country is going to get an "A" in how they responded when this is over." Some of these countries go through a period where they get uppity and the lefties like to crow about how much better they are than U.S. but then they get humbled over time. I have seen Canadians here and elsewhere try to do what they do which is to take all developments and show that the Canadians are superior to their neanderthal neighbors to the south. So, right on schedule we had some crowing here and elsewhere about how superior Canada has been, when in fact the timing of the spread just differed. But check back today and tell me how it is going but compare Canada to California rather than the U.S. The populations are roughly similar, maybe Cali a couple million or so more. And last I looked, Canada had surpassed about 800 corona deaths, and Calif was maybe fifty fewer, or so. These are moving numbers so I dont know what today looks like. And Cali seems to be getting toppy and flat whereas Canada is still on the upcurve. Probably that is why we have not heard the Canadians trying to go down that uppity road for a while. Could still be some that try to do per capita comparisons in Manitoba to New York City or something - a losers game.
Looks worse for Sweden every day-- the mortality percentage goes up every day. Shortly going to exceed Italy and Spain to be the highest mortality percentage across the globe at this daily increase ramp. 1,203 Deaths / 11,927 Reported Cases = 10.08% Death Rate for Sweden.
Sweden surely stands apart; it it near the worst in terms of death percentage stats, deaths per million, cases per million, etc.
