Sweden proves that lockdowns were the wrong strategy

Yes you were

Si regardless of lockdowns its nice to see you admitting massive amount if excess deaths due to covid.

Did Norway lock down or have facemask mandates?

Let's test this across a plane of population density.

people can use numerical data all they want.

But people like Clay Travis and Buck Sexton say masks don't work and everyone has had covid.

Um. While I am certainly not perfect and may eventually get it, I still mask up at work and have not been sick.

let's check the data:

Covid instances:

Buck 2

Clay 2

Mike 0

I can easily claim that masks work.

Plus, you're relying on numbers that are reported from the country.

Nobody can prove they are honest.

(I could produce old time logs to show my honesty that I have not missed a day of work because I was sick)

Answer for that.

i still think the shutdown was necessary and being dirt poor, i don't care what relative deprivation people had.

so you downsized. So what?

does this study say anything about the prevalence of comorbidities in those countries? I would bet its a pretty similar list - lots in USA/UK/Australia, much less in Scandanavia.

You had non-symptomatic COVID.

Masks work if you wear the right mask perfectly. Every time.

You don't.

The data in that study just lines up with physical fitness. Countries with healthier citizens had less deaths per capita whereas countries with less healthy citizens had more deaths per capita.

I haven't had the chance to look at the details of the analysis presented, but "The Economist" magazine has been tracking excess and covid deaths by country over the course of the pandemic.

Using their publicly accessible data I get a different answer, notably that Sweden did worse than Norway and Denmark in both excess and covid death rates.

You are still stuck in the boring past?

There are too many things wrong with your argument to enumerate. But, bear in mind sars covi2 is a respiratory virus spread by droplets. Lockdowns did not change the fact that we are still dealing with this. Lockdowns/isolation have worked for other deadly viruses. But masks and lockdowns clearly decrease the number of potential deaths, esp in that first wave. We had deaths in the million(s)? Imagine if everyone went about things willy nilly in that first year? If its your parent or brother that died you would have a different tune. This whole anti science theory that masks dont do anything is laughable. We wear mask when we see patients with measles, flu and we wear masks in surgery. Why? Because it a piece of material OVER YOUR MOUTH and NOSE that vastly decreases droplets. Have you noticed...all the "masks dont do anything" people are the exact same people that say we have issues with RSV and flu because of all the darn masks!? Which is it flat earther, the masks do nothing or they do something? Common sense as well. We decreased the exposure long enough that we got vaccines going that vastly decrease the deaths and hospitalizations from this virus. We were very lucky that the technology for the vaccine was available and simple. FYI, there are other SARS (and MERS) viruses that peadered out early on and have become barely endemic in some places, so it was worth a try to tamp it down from the outset. Lockdowns and masks work very well for some deadly viruses. If we listed to people like you, we would all have ebola. Stop working so hard to be right and just join the effort to be part of the solution to all things.

Swedes are way healthier than us for sure.

Unfortunately we can't trust Daily Sceptic's reporting of anything.

"Overall, we rate the Daily Sceptic a far-right biased quackery level pseudoscience website that frequently publishes false and misleading information regarding covid-19 and science in general."

You have absolutely no proof of that.

And it's your job to prove your claim, not mine to disprove it.

Prove your claim or shove it, pal.

^ this X 1000

The Scandinavians are a lot healthier than most in the USA. Not nearly as many fat diabetics in those countries.

Also, there was a lot that was not known about covid early on. Some of what was done was right and some of it wasn’t. That was true for every pandemic previous to covid and will be true for every pandemic going forward.

We’re 3 years into this now and people are still bemoaning lockdowns & masks? Get a fvcking life! Something tells me you don’t have one or you wouldn’t be mired in the past, OP.

Lastly, as a previous poster noted, the reference from the OP checks out as…

CONSPIRACY-PSEUDOSCIENCE

Simple solution to your incessant time wasting (yours) posts about getting the jab or not. Face it, you were wrong. You have no point to prove. Biden said last Fall, millions of un-jabbed will die, which was a total lie.

ALL of my family and friends that got covid, got it again and in many cases 3 times. I work for a lady who has had 3 booster shots and she's gotten it 3 times. I take what you're suppose to take and I've never gotten it, nor has anyone who lives in my house.

I know that you are most likely a site shill for hits, a troll with nothing better to do, or just plain ignorant. No one will ever know your name, but your handle will live on as one of the dumbest most uninformed posters ever to be on these boards.

With all of the young people that have sadly died in the last 2 years, ALL of who had unfortunately gotten jabbed, you sir look more and more ignorant with every post you make.

Yep, if it's a link you don't agree with, then it's a conspiracy. When your boy Biden says it, and was proven 1000% wrong, then you kneel to it. No doubt about it, you got the jab and now regret it.

So you're saying that being infected doesn't confer lasting immunity. Got it.

Really?

And who do you suppose they got it from?

The free-dummies who didn't mask up and didn't get the vaccine.

And don't use Fauci logic against me.

I am against him too.

I wanted to see more Draconian standards and he caved to pressure.

All because the yahoos had their President in power.
