Sweden: Despite Variants, No Lockdowns, No Daily Covid Deaths

https://www.aier.org/article/sweden...y-covid-deaths/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Since the Covid pandemic broke out, Sweden has been fought over more than any other part of Europe since Germany in the 30 Years War. In refusing to use an iron fist to control a virus, lockdown advocates claimed it was either committing murder or suicide; choose your favorite metaphor. Relatively few such as me, in three separate articles, claimed the Nordic country was sparing both the economy and something called “liberty” with its light-handed approach. My favorite title (editor chose it): “Media Enraged That More Swedes Aren’t Dying.”


Thus last year we saw such headlines as CNN’s “Deaths Soar In Country That Didn’t Lock Down. Officials Identify Big Reason Why.” Around the same time “Sweden Steadfast In Strategy As Virus Toll Continues Rising,” claimed another source. “Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Drives Up Infection Rate,” screamed the BBC. Everyone was playing pile-on. “Sweden Has The Highest Daily Coronavirus Death Rate In The World – And It’s Getting Worse.” That’s from Yahoo Sports. Sports?


Modelers desperately tried to scare Sweden into locking down. One predicted an incredible median of 96,000 deaths, with a maximum of 183,000. At Sweden’s Lund University an academic used the parameters in the now-infamous Neil Ferguson/Imperial College model to warn that it meant 85,000 deaths for Sweden. An Uppsala University team also found the nation paying a terrible price with 40,000 Covid-19 deaths by May 1, 2020 and almost 100,000 by June.


Total Swedish Covid deaths at this writing: 14,651.


It’s not that Sweden did nothing – but very little. “From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Public Health Agency . . . embarked on a de-facto herd immunity approach, allowing community transmission to occur relatively unchecked,” declared a scathing editorial in the leftwing medical journal The Lancet last December. “No mandatory measures were taken to limit crowds on public transport, in shopping malls, or in other crowded places,” it said. “Coronavirus testing, contact tracing, source identification, and reporting, as recommended by WHO, were limited and remain inadequate.” High schools closed temporarily, but grade schools never.

There you have it folks. While the Leftists drones went on about how the Swedes were all going to die. They powered through the pandemic like bosses.

We should be giving vaccines to the elderly and at risk. If others want it cool.... you know... FREE CHOICE... remember that?

Besides that, we should be passing out the Ivervectim in mass and letting people live their best lives. Instead we have destroyed children's education, small businesses, and hope for millions. Many have been lost to drug addictions and alcohol during lock downs and mental illness. We are doing this wrong. Sweden has shown us what works best.

 

If only Sweden followed CA and NY, so many more lives would have been saved. =)

 

Good for Sweden but that’s not our situation. We have 600k dead.
Maybe the decades of eugenics they practiced paid off. Who knows?

 

I find it pretty funny how the left has tried to make Covid the end of the world pandemic when in fact, two things are going to happen.
1. Its not going away
2. At some point, everyone on the planet will have had it.

Its just another SARS virus which is why its fatality rate is less than 1%. I guess they didn't even notice that somehow, the flu has been completely eradicated.

 

Damn those Swedes and their Socialist medicine ...

 

It's on the internet, it has to be true.

It had nothing to do with Socialism. Try to follow along... for once.

In fact, what we did with the Government paying for all the vaccines, shutting down businesses, and then trying to force care on the populace is more Socialist. Americans didn't have a choice to get Ivervectim or HCQ like many others in the world.

 

So why are there cases so low?
Do mask mandates cause corona? Lol

 

Has everything to do with socialized medicine. The Swedes are able to go to the doctor when they sick, so they caught the illness
in early stages rather than wait for it to become an emergency. Their population is healthier to start with because they
take the advice of doctors and don't eat themselves into oblivion like Americans. Their population is healthier and has
better immune systems because they can afford to take care of themselves because of better access to doctors
and healthier diets.

 

Oh really? What did they do to stop people from getting sicker or dying once they have Covid?

 

Mask mandates don't do anything

 

Good thing they’re painless

 

Maybe because we have way more unhealthy people in our society. Over 10% of our population has type II diabetes while while Sweden has less than 5% of their population. And 88 million Americans have prediabetes...

Freedom taste YUMMY!

 

Well that hardly sounds like justification to use Sweden as a model for how we handle Covid.

 

They were terrible compared to their neighbors.

Sweden - 1485 deaths per million
Norway - 146 deaths per million
Finland - 177 deaths per million
Denmark - 439 death per million

 

Read the OP again... they are done.

 

Don't quote me out of context eliminating what destroys your ridiculous propaganda. Cherry picking dishonesty is what you just provided. Posts like yours that do that is called **** POSTING on most forums.

 

No. Try to follow along. Lockdowns put people in tight quarters and cause the Wuhan Flu to easily transmit. We know that now. In fact, it's super rare to transmit outdoors. You're welcome.

 

Thays what most say who follow along like the good little foot soldiers they are.

 

I also wear pants, because I’m a good foot soldier

 

No they are not done. I provided a link.

 

So for you, wearing your mask is just like putting on your pants. Glad your getting comfy with it.

 

It is more like the rules making us wear shoes than pants. I would go barefoot 10 months out of the year if I could . Damn shirt and shoes rules

 

The OP is bullshit. Sweden got hit far harder than any of their peer nations.

 

As a kid living in Florida, the only time I wore shoes or shirts was for school. After the summer most thought I was a different race.
