Muslims won’t comply with the lockdown, expect Malmo to get it real bad.
Every coal mine needs a canary. Thanks, Sweden!
It would have been an interesting test case if they had forged ahead with the do-nothing, go-for-broke “herd immunity” strategy. Interesting, that is, from a scientific standpoint to see what kind of results they got (not so interesting, of course, if it had gone catastrophically badly and you’re a Swede who ends up on a vent). Now, though, it sounds like they’re belatedly doing more or less what everyone else is doing, so it’ll be hard to really draw many conclusions from what happens there.
Liberals are their own worst enemy...and they still have yet to realize it....
The next round of Swedish elections should be interesting, assuming non-suicidal Swedes survive to vote.
For test purposes, let’s label Sweden “control”.
It will be interesting to watch.
It will either confirm that the flubros were right that all the lockdowns and measures we are taking were unnecessary, or,it will prove them wrong.
But even if they are proved wrong, I will not expect an admission of such from them. They’ll probably just claim thye didn’t do it right and if they did, it wouldn’t be spreading as fast as it did.
Well... there is a certain unhygienic antisocial population that lives close together. Someone MIGHT just see an opportunity to rectify a mistake.
It’s all a question of priorities, the individual vs the community. It’s pure Calculus. The Community will survive and no wealth will be wasted. Pure logic.
Compare Sweden with its neighbour, Norway. Norway has restrictions similar to the US or Canada (afaik).
Sweden’s population is about 10 million, Norway’s about 5.6 million.
As of 14:40, April 4, Sweden had 6,380 cases; Norway had 5,579.
Approximate cases/million people: Sweden 650; Norway 1,000 (about the same as the USA).
Based on that, I’d say that’s too early to draw any conclusions about which strategy works best.
The big issue is whether Sweden’s hospitals will be overrun — recall, we’re trying to flatten to curve to prevent shortages. We’re not seeing that so far.
Herd immunity is probably the BEST course over all.
Short term pain for long term gain.
Maybe overall it might just save MORE lives. An immune population is a good thing, especially for future waves.
It just isn’t politically viable. Our pussy society couldn’t handle it. They can’t stand it if even ONE child dies. Yet women MURDER over EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND children EVERY YEAR in the USA.
So, what’s the big deal about just a FEW hundred thousand deaths of people who “were going there anyway”? /s (sort of?)
Sweden will be bad, but Indonesia is hell on earth now.
Sweden: The showcase of failure for democratic socialism, massive Moslem immigration, anti-Semitism, and lack of law enforcement.
Damned! Sounds like DC, NY, Chicago, Minnesota/Minneapolis, Seattle, LA/SF, etc.
They respect freedom more than some of our mayors and governors.
Sweden’s cases seem to have peaked on April 2. We will know more by Friday
They’re probably trying to kill off the elderly natives to leave more room for migrants.
Actually, it’s working out very well, which is why the globalists are having this stupid rant published.
Sweden probably will not cave and that puts them in a situation to economically dominate Europe for the next several years.
Sweden Population - 10.3 million
New Jersey Population - 8.9 million
Sweden COVID-19 Fatalities - 401
New Jersey COVID-19 Fatalities - 917
Since 90% of Sweden’s land is not inhabited, their “adjusted” population density is probably almost equal to New Jersey.
For example...
Stockholm Population Density - 13,000 per square mile
Newark Population Density - 11,500 per square mile
Sweden actually seems to have peaked on April 2, with a low number of cases
