Sweden did not implement a full-scale lockdown. Instead, it allowed people to live relatively normal lives. It banned gatherings with more than 50 people, imposed limits on customers in restaurants, urged people to social distance, and banned elderly care home visitors. The hope, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell said, was that people might develop a widespread "herd immunity" as this happened.

Experts pointed to a host of reasons for the shifting numbers. They credited myriad factors, including the arrival of summer, with fewer people in offices creating more distance, and Sweden quietly taking steps to protect people in care homes. Johan Carlson, the director-general of Sweden's public health agency, credited the "effect of us keeping up the social distancing" for the decline.

Swedish authorities said the reason the case rate shot up in June is due to increased testing.

Sweden's Coronavirus death toll is now approaching zero, but experts totalitarian control-freaks are warning others not to hail its no lockdown strategy as a success

Fixed it.

One study showed 6.1% of Sweden's population had developed antibodies by late May.

“Sweden’s Coronavirus death toll is now approaching zero, but experts are warning others not to hail its no lockdown strategy as a success.” Take the damn victory and stop apologizing and hedging. It worked for Sweden. There’s your sign.

I received a negative result from a test last month. This warning came with the results: A Not Detected (negative) test result for this test means that SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not present in the specimen above the limit of detection. A negative result does not rule out the possibility of COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions.”

So, I’m not taking anymore tests where a stick is jammed up my nose, possibly penetrating the brain if it is done poorly, for a result that takes six days to get the results and is, in all honesty, INCONCLUSIVE. President Trump was correct, we need to stop testing non-symptomatic people, as is being encouraged in Texas. We should only test if the symptoms are severe and cannot be treated at home.

Spread Corona fast or spread it slow but there is no viable way of stopping the spread. The goal of crashing the economy and the suspension of liberty was to SLOW the spread. The idea was that a slow spread would save lives by preserving hospital capacity for the Corona afflicted.

The goal was never to stop the spread.

So make the call. How many lives were saved by not overwhelming the hospitals? Remember the same number of people are still gong to get infected. It is a matter of how long that takes.

Eventually the per capita death toll will be comparable for countries that have had the virus sweep through its population.
