Not every article is Sweden bashing. If their infections continue to drop it can make a lot of the “experts” look pretty dumb.
Funny how the libs don’t see Sweden as the model for this.
They have a little over 10 million people; we have around 340 million people. I’m guessing there might be some comparative ratios involved.
Sweden as 86 per million people while the US has 57 per million
Sweden's daily deaths:
April 7th = 114 deaths this day
April 8th = 96 deaths this day
April 9th = 106 deaths this day
Sweden's total deaths:
April 7th = 591
April 8th = 687
April 9th = 793
I wouldn't count April 10th's figures until the 11th, when all the data for the previous day is final.
compared to Denmark
Sweden: 10 million people with 4 million in the Orseund region in the south.
Denmark: 5 million people - similar density to the Oresund region
Apr 10
Sweden: 870 deaths, 77 latest
Denmark: 247 deaths, 10 latest
Sorry, but it looks like Denmark’s lockdown is demonstrably more effective than Sweden’s
Didn’t Great Britain initially try this approach?
we can also look here where its pretty much just new york vs the rest of the country without much relation between what lockdown measures were implemented. Maybe things have been a bit overzealous.
Norway.
Sweden 86 deaths per million population.
Norway 21 deaths per million population.
Not having homogenized dairy products and low numbers of pre-existing conditions being put to the test, I guess.
Spanish flu is described as three waves, the second the worst.
Wonder if that model applies to a guinea pig colony?
In Sweden’s defense... There aren’t a whole lot of Italians in Sweden.
On a serious not... Sweden and Japan... Japan just rocketed to 100 deaths among a population of 125+ million in one of the most densely population land masses on earth. Japan declared a ‘state of emergency’ but they didn’t lock down... Apparently their constitution prevents them from ‘locking down’ businesses... Too bad that wasn’t case everywhere.
Steeper curve, of course.
Does anyone who dies while positive or presumed positive count as a WuFlu death in Sweden?
If so, that will goose the death toll stats.
As summer goes into fall, the U.S. will see a wave of new infections. It will arrive in Europe also, but Sweden is achieving greater herd immunity NOW, and will be less affected by new waves of the virus.
Many in the U.S. “saved” from getting a mild infection so far, by all the lock downs, will start getting new infections in the fall and passing SOME of them AGAIN to those who are the ones who really need to be sheltered and isolated & protected - the elderly, infirm, those with conditions that become complications with the Wuhan virus (they, and those who are ill, are the ones who NEED masks most of all). Oh, that last part is what Sweden is doing while it’s economy is not closed. Also, Sweden’s younger students have not lost a school year, and there is no mass of Sweden’s kids among the Covid-19 cases.
Sweden is going to have crematories running 24/7 that can be seen from SPACE!
