Sweden’s numbers are on the rise. They’re letting it run its course and have not stay homes or shut downs. What death number will they finally wake up?
Once they exceed 200-250 per day, they might as well let it go, as locking down will not save very many. By that time, they might be begging other countries to take their patients, or just forcing people to ride it out at home or a makeshift facility. With their current policy, they will have the highest per capita deaths. If it turns out immunity is short lived, will they do it again?
It’s misleading for the MSM to declare that Sweden is letting the disease run its course. They have voluntary work-at-home, voluntary stay at home, sick pay for 21 days, and almost mandatory stay at home for seniors. Other than a governor mandating it, the only difference is they still have elementary schools open, although universities are closed.
On Mar 31, Sweden had about 4500 cases and 181 deaths. Nine days later, infection is in every county, they have double the cases and 870 deaths Test rate unknown. In a country of 10 million on a good day. Proportionally, that’s not good.
from wiki:
On agency recommendation, the government can follow, as it has with legislation limiting freedom of assembly, temporarily banning gatherings of over 50 individuals; as well as physically closing secondary schools and universities. Primary schools have remained open, in part to avoid healthcare workers needing to stay home with their children.
The Public Health Agency and government issued recommendations to work from home, if possible; for people above 70 to stay at home; and issued general recommendations to avoid unnecessary travel within the country and to promote social distancing between people. Those with even minimal symptoms which could be COVID-19 are recommended to stay home. The ‘karensdag’ or initial day without paid sick-leave has been removed by the government and the length of time one can stay home without a doctor’s note has been raised from 7 to 21 days.
As of 10 April 2020, there were 9,685 confirmed cases, of which 749 received intensive care, and 870 deaths related to the newly found virus in Sweden, with Stockholm County being the most affected.[1]
