The Swedish experiment of doing remarkably little about Covid-19

[Gimmesometruth]

Of course everyone doesn't die from covid. Covid is largely similar to a bad cold, for most people. It's a danger for the elderly, infirm and obese, generally speaking.

LOL - flattening the curve can certainly help to not overwhelm the hospitals. That's not to say that most everyone is not going to get Covid. Most everyone did.

The numbers would have been a ton better had authorities protected the elderly and infirm, instead of locking everyone down, and the ventillator craze was ridiculous. They snaked tubes down people's throats and many of those would otherwise have survived, because the practice for a while was to ventillate early, and those things are not great - they are sometimes necessary, but once that tube goes in, every doc will tell you it needs to come out as quickly as possibly..

It is amazing how nearly every debate I have with you, you invariably move the goalpost. The goalpost was "Does isolation reduce DEATHS in a pandemic", the answer is obviously YES in the context of not overwhelming the medical system.

You as per usual cannot argue this point and instead distract away to CASES OF INFECTION.

Conclusion

The independent Swedish Corona Commission, formed by the government after pressure from parliament, was critical of many aspects of how authorities acted during the pandemic, but the overall conclusion was positive:

The choice of path in terms of disease prevention and control, focusing on advice and recommendations which people were expected to follow voluntarily, was fundamentally correct. It meant that citizens retained more of their personal freedom than in many other countries … [and] many countries that have pursued [another] approach have experienced significantly worse outcomes than Sweden, indicating at present, at least, that it is highly uncertain what effect lockdowns have in fact had.49

When choices were made about pandemic strategies, the end result could not be known, and yet many politicians and journalists in countries including the United States, Britain, and Norway attacked Sweden fiercely for choosing an unusual and more liberal path. Why was that? Preben Aavitsland, Norway’s state epidemiologist, has recently come up with an explanation:

According to the article, “It seems likely that Sweden did much better than other countries in terms of the economy, education, mental health, and domestic abuse, and still came away from the pandemic with fewer excess deaths than in almost any other European country, and less than half that of the United States”.
