While the media in the UK is asserting lockdown measures caused COVID-19 deaths and cases to plummet, Sweden saw an even greater drop off in deaths despite enforcing comparatively minor restrictions.
This morning, UK broadcaster Sky News declared “Lockdown is working! COVID-19 infection rate plummets in England.”
“One of the largest and most authoritative coronavirus surveys has found that infections are quickly falling in England, confirming that lockdown is working to suppress the virus,” states the report.
The report claims that vaccines aren’t a factor in the reduction in deaths and cases because they are observed across all age groups.
However, as Dr. Eli David highlighted, COVID deaths in Sweden began dropping off even sooner without the need for harsh lockdown measures.

“The strict lockdown in the UK was so effective that it stopped the spread of Covid in Sweden as well,” joked David.
In comparison to the UK, which imposed a full national lockdown in early January, Sweden refused to follow suit, only encouraging voluntary social distancing measures.
As we highlighted last October, health authorities in the Scandinavian country refused to follow the rest of Europe by imposing new coronavirus lockdown measures on their population, arguing that those beset by loneliness and misery of being isolated have suffered enough.
Despite all this, health authorities in Sweden are now considering a full lockdown for the first time due to what they say is a rise in cases over the last week.
“The proposals would let the government close shopping centers, gyms and restaurants, as well as impose new restrictions on theme parks, zoos and museums. There will be a new system to control social gatherings and public events,” reports Bloomberg.
“You know, I would love to see someone with some resources check to see what happened to the finances of those who forced the hardest lockdowns.”
“For example, in my own state of Michigan, Her Pomposity, Empress Whitmer basically decided what businesses failed and which succeeded. Any chance she had any interest in which ones succeeded?”
Cui bo·no?
/kwē ˌbōnō/
Who stands, or stood, to gain (from a crime, and so might have been responsible for it)?
Again: To whom is it a benefit, not to recognize Herd Immunity in a country, state, county or city?
Cui bono? (Classical Latin: [kui̯ ˈbɔnoː]), in English “to whom is it a benefit?”, is a Latin phrase about identifying crime suspects.
I trust her/your governor as far I can throw my son’s OJ Simpson Bronco.
It is probably a safe bet that every blue Governor/mayor who dragged their feet in helping to burn this disease out, profited big time while innocent people died.
Imagine not having to destroy your economy, and then have lower rates.
Our media nd government officials are pathetic, completely pathetic.
If the Dem Governor Cuomo did this in NY, his counter parts probably played the same game in your state/Michigan, in mine/California and ????????
Democrat Ron Kim alleges governor covered up nursing home death data to aid donors.
New York lawmaker recounts threatening phone call from Cuomo, says gov asked ‘if I were an honorable man’
Kim went on to accuse the Cuomo administration of allowing
“its top donors to dictate policies, writing business-friendly policies like legal immunity for nursing homes ... and he orders, the state government to cover up life and death information and took away our ability, the lawmakers, our ability to legislate and change the outcome of this pandemic.”

It goes without saying that we can't trust a single word from the Butchers of Beijing. But we also can't trust anything coming from London,Paris,Stockholm,Ottawa,Washington...or Albany,New York.
There are too many reasons why someone might want to withhold info...or release false info.
The bottom line is that here in the US the cure that Rat Party Governors,Trump hating RINOs and their pals have imposed on this country has been far,*far* worse than the disease.
And I believe that that has been intentional...it was all concocted to drive President Trump from office.
