Who Cares about Sweden, a state in the US has handled COVID even better and We've ignored it

Lol fun to come back and dunk on the COVID-deniers in this thread. Everything they touch turns to coal.

How many more Liberal politicians will need to violate their own restrictions in order for you to understand the level of BS going on here. These people have all the information and are putting in place heavy-handed restrictions yet they have no problem violating them. Clearly that should tell you how seriously they view the virus. It's amazing how many have just swallowed the narrative.

I don't know whether this is relevant, pointing to human weakness. It exists all over, left, right and center. You and me and everybody. But this virus is very dangerous. The narrative has been swallowed by Health Authorities all over the world. And I wrote about Sweden.

Let's review the recent daily Covid deaths in Sweden,

CDC numbers backwards from 11/2:

2, 0, 3, 2, 3, 2.

In a nation of 10 million plus.

Whatever they did seems to have worked.

CANT YOU SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES??!? The deaths SKYROCKETED by an infinite % from 0 to 3, at that rate the whole planet will be infected in a week! OPEN YOUR EYES!

The numbers backwards are, according to Worldometer, 20, 10, 8 and so on. But it even difficult for Worldometer to keep track, because of the Swedish reporting system. They update backwards, so the numbers are different from day to day. But always on the rise. Apropos SKYROCKETING. Average daily. September 1.7 October 4,6 November so far 13.7 , and it will be much much higher. OPEN YOUR EYES. 5990 infected Friday equal US 196000. The hospitalzation rate highest in Europe. In Sweden they are imposing more and more restrictions, restaurants, bars, travelling etc.

Daily deaths attributed to Covid in Sweden were in single digits for mid July through the end of October.

In November we have seen mostly between 10 and 18 per day.

Why?

Why would the virus return in a nation that did not lockdown?

Makes no sense that I can suss.

Unkle. You are right about November. But as you know, more and more deaths will be transferred bacwards due to the Swedish reporting system. So the deaths in Swenden are sharply rising. And they did not get herd immunity. You ask me a question. The Mastermind behind the Swedish Strategy: It is colder outside. People are staying more and more indoors, therefore, just like flu and cold, people get more and more infected. And soon it will be very cold in the Nordic coutries. So itmakes a lot of sense.

The spread of the virus is out of controll in Sweden, not so in the neighboring countries. But even there the health authorities are worriesome. 5990 infections (matches 190000 in US) friday, the rise has great impact on the hospitalization rate , not so strong on deaths. It is due to better treatment, more young people are infected, even the old get more and more infected, but to a lesser degree. The Swedes are imposing more and more restrictions - bars, restaurants, sports events etc. etc. Sweden is closer and closer to a lockdown. But that will be too late. Now, it is just too little.

I haven't checked recently. Is the virus gone yet? Did it "just go away". Are we "rounding the corner" yet?

Better late than never. Restrictions work. Czechia and Belgium were slow to intervene, but when they did, it worked. Belgium peaked at 20k and is already down to under 5k in just two weeks. Czechia peaked at @ 14k and is down to around 5k after less than 2 weeks. The Dakotas are a hot mess with no sign of getting the outbreak under control.

Sweden could do more and should have intervened sooner. But they are taking action and putting politics aside to do the right thing. If restrictions are followed, Sweden should see a big drop in cases over the next few weeks. It make take a week or two to peak, but Sweden acted just in time to prevent the worst case scenario.

Initially, there were some shots at South Dakota's governor from the national media. But as things have continued to go well this has been ignored by the national media. I hope people start paying attention to this and realize we don't need to continue to let out lives be dominated by the virus.

Seven day average daily death count in South Dakota has now skyrocketed to 25. Doesn't sound all that significant until you realize this is the equivalent to a US total seven day average of ~9500. The governor continued to tweet this morning about how evil governors are stealing people's rights to celebrate a big thanksgiving, assuring South Dakotans they can gather with as many people as they want.

7 day average death toll now at 29. Per capita equivalent to well over 11k in the US.

And equivalent to 343 in Sweden. And they are in a crises just now. The daily death toll now over 40. 633 deaths/1 M ought to be compared to neighbor Norway 56.

FINALLY! The precious second wave of death the Covibots have waited months for! No more waiting two more weeks...the ecstacy must be overwhelming for Proy and Harem B

Never seen someone so excited about being wrong.

Weird, it's almost like the cases start at a low level, grow increasingly rapidly, and the body count follows the same pattern a month or so later. Who saw that coming?

Thanks for your gracious acknowledgement that people like them were right and that deniers like, say, you were wrong.

Your honesty is refreshing and appreciated.

It’s strange when a disagreement about reality can lead to an agreement of ideology. Me, I deny; you, you defend. Yet in the end we both hope for death and disaster. Henry Miller shared similar sentiments, be something of a curmudgeon himself.

It sgood to finally see eye to eye, brother!
