      Sweden looks clean but that doesn't help to stop the spread of a pandemic, Swedes are in large very egoistic and vain and therefore you seldom see folk use masks, thay do not give a shit if they infect someone, and if you ask why they do not use a mask you get the answer, "for there is little chance that I did", never "Other do not know if I am healthy or not, so I do it to show respect to folk around me and to reduce the chance for spreading the virus".

      The whole narrative may be false anyway. Yeah cops in the US act hard. Yeah people are killed by cops in the US. Yes this guy likely got killed by the cop and unnecessarily so. Relative population size more black people are killed by the police in the USA. I'm sure racism is a thing now and then very likely in both directions (as in black on white too.) Now the question is 1) Was this specific guy killed by a racist police and more importantly: Is it a general trend / problem in the USA that people are. Because the whole point kinda of the demonstrations is the last point there. But as far as I know black people in the USA commit more of for instance violent and homocide crimes relative their population size asnd that of course put you at risk. There may be a problem in that the police is dangerous but is the police and justice system actually unfair or are black people simply committing more crimes and hence facing the consequences to a larger extent. That's the deciding factor for whatever those demonstrations and claims are fair (well as long as they don't become something beyond a demonstration) and valid or not.

    Finland is taking kind of a mixed approach to the epidemic: not as strict as the US but also not as liberal as Sweden. Terraces have been closed for a while now, altough they are just now opening up for a limited time every evening. Stores are very much open, although the hours might be a bit different compared to a normal situation. Restaurants are doing only take out and delivery, so you can’t go in and eat. Finland’s death rate is extremely low, which is of course positive, though we’ll have to see how we’ll do now that they’re opening up bars and such.

      Well... in sweden... your health insurance is more or less included in your taxes so there is no reason not to seek medical help if you need it.
      Sure there is a flat fee per visit (around $20 or so bucks... 120-240SEK ) but once you reach a spesific amount you get a "high cost card" which makes the rest of the visit for the next 1 year period free.

      There was "chaos" for a while. They improperly dealt with elderly, so one elderly got sick, and then it spread through the elderly homes in stockholm. That caused majority of deaths.
      The thing with lock down is that it likely doesn't work unless it's a proper lock down for 1-2 months. Everyone has to be locked in, if 10% are breaking the lock down there's barely any difference between a lock down and no lock down... Or something like that.

    • @tbbw
      @tbbw 4 роки тому +6

      I live in stockholm and the picture in stockholm is the same over here as in Göteborg.
      The only big fail i think sweden deserves is how they handled their elderlycare and that was mostly lack of PPE since the hospitals got the priority so the elderlycare and the other "non critical" care got the breadcrumbs.
      This all roots in sweden dismantled our emergency stock for stuff like war (and pandemic) so we have no real army and the risk of war is too low so they wanted to save money.
      After the Covid pandemic there will be a shit storm when people need to be held acountable for these screwups but for now people are waiting for the right time to cause a fuss about it since most people agree going out and demonstrating and social distancing is not a compatible mix.
      I did volonteer early on in Stockholm Makerspace to make some PPE ( the open source ones like #3dvfaceshield and a few other members also made a plastic gowns out of construction plastic since the situation could have been a lot worse back then if the elderly care did not get at least some PPE ).
      There was a group in NY that also did the same thing as us called "Matter hackers" and just days after we released our files (open source) we saw a bunch of other makerspaces over the world using the files we released (italy was first as far as we saw on twitter) or used a modified version of them which was so wholesome and fun to watch unfold and we got featured in the news as a community effort and random people came by to give us free soda and candy to keep our suggar levels high so we could keep a 24/7 shift going :)
      We had a whole distrubution chain going where everyone with a 3D printer could send in PPE so we could distribute them.
      But i can say i observed a lot of people keep their distance like normal so i think very little changed for us and everyone listens and follows the govs recommendations.
      Only thing that really changed in my everyday life is i'm less likely to touch a railing if i dont have to in the subway or a buss.
      But i dont think the swedish model of handeling this would work if the population is not following the recommendations the government has issued.
      As i said sweden does deserve some shit for how unprepared we where ( PPE ) and how our elderly care system was handled.
      Anyhow if anyone wants links or such as a source validation or to these files for the PPE... let me know.

If anything good comes from this at all I hope it will be a complete overhaul of the elder care system in Sweden. If you look outside of the elder homes and see how the general population is doing you'll see that the way we handle things is not a disaster at all. The damage done to the economy will probably cause as many death (loss of jobs, depression, domestic violence and so on... all known causes of death.) as the virus though... just a bit difficult to tell until after a few years.

    I can also say that apart from the recommendations;
    Clean your hands often and Keep distance, the health auhorities also urge us not to travel on public transportations unless we really have to (and yes they are crowded). They also urge us not to travel more Than 2 hours away from Home - in case you'd get ill; so you can get Home (easier) and not to be a Cost to another county's wellfare/hospital Cost. Further more; when possible many People work from home; decreading risk of getting Corona not being too many at work at the same time as well as not having to go on public transportations so often. The empoyees at Volvo are on a Lay off for like 40% of their work hours but get i think 92% of their salary - thanks to state/gouvernment agreements. Where as many empoyees in for example hotel and restaurants have lost their job completely so unrmployment rate has definetely increasd due to Corona virus.

      The problem with most Italians is they don't inform themselves. I'm one of those rare Italians who does such thing. The covid-19 does nothing to most people. 80% of people with the virus just has a flu or a cold. Among the deceased, 96% suffered from many serious illnesses. It's very rare the covid-19 kills someone who's healthy. I was never afraid of this corona virus as I inform myself. Wearing a face mask outdoors if you're alone, or if you take social distance, is a nonsense. In Germany and Switzerland people were never forced to wear face masks outdoors, yet they have fewer deceased than we do.

They were all under 60. So, yes it is true it is quite a mild disease for many, but certainly not for all.

    •  4 роки тому +2

      Officially there's more than 20% foreign-born people in Sweden. There's likely quite a bit of illegal immigrants around too though so maybe it could be 25% or so too. There's closer to 40% people who either are immigrant or have at-least one immigrant parent though. And it's very quickly changing.
      80 years ago there was about 1% immigrants in Sweden and for a long time most common immigrant in Sweden was people from Finland which we had been the same country as for a long time so not really much of a difference. There was this wave of people from former Yugoslavia and then a bunch of people from Iraq and then the Syrians but they really poured on the tap from Afghanistan and later Africa too. The amount of black people are exploding. At-least in this city. Here I always feel like it's more immigrants than Swedes for the whole city though I live in an area with maybe 5-10% Swedes so I may be wrong then again there's many areas in this city which have a lot of immigrants so I kinda feel it's pretty right. One use to see more immigrants than Swede up on the city but it could be because 1) It's a city (where some Swedes live outside of the city) and 2) Swedes work a lot whereas the immigrants not so much so they have time to just hang around in the city.
      Also it's a weird claim. On one hand people claim races aren't real because there's not enough difference between various people and larger diversity among populations/humans as such but on the other hand people make claims like this about how diversity comes from having such and such sex or skin color not by just being you an individual among other individuals. How do those two make sense together? Wasn't Sweden diverse before too even if only inhabited by Swedes? Also it's pretended that visible differences lead to superior intellectual and behavorial insight over what could be accomplished otherwise yet Sweden is a society which totally hate someone thinking differently and not agreeing with the majority. So true intellectual diversity is thrown upon I guess mostly because those who do so are socialists and if people think different and want something else then that's challenging their socialist society and dreams so we can't have that. So because of that skin color and whatever sex organ you have is the only diversity we get. Enough is enough. As if that actually meaned anything as for true diversity, as said.

    I live in Stockholm and I agree with our approach here in Sweden. I follow the daily updates on STV2 from our epidemiologist (i always forget his title) Anders Tegnell and his crew and ror me it all makes sense. I have a mom in self isolation (she´s over 70 and has health issues) and a dad that works from home and only go out to the store and for bike rides. They have done well so far. I was sick alot as a kid and hav had health issues in the past (autoimmune disorders) but are doing good now. I have actually had cobid 19 for a total of 6 weeks, I was asymptomatic for about 3-3,5 of those (on the middle) and had some cough, fever, head aches, pressure on my chest etc, but mildly. I stayed completely inside for 4 weeks total and two weeks in the middle when I had no symtoms I went outdoors but I did not do any shopping on my own and I haven´t met one single person except for my bf and two clients and their dogs (dog trainer and coach) at a safe distance. My experience anf from talking to friends who have had the virus is that swedes who get the virus are very mindful of other people so that not more people get infected - my main concern through all this is the elderly and the immunocompromised and I protect them as best I can by keeping a distance. I am not afraid to swear at someone for not keeping distance. My mom does some shopping on her own, like spring flowers for her garden (she lives in a small cabin in northern sweden) and she wears a mask so that no one goes near her. :)

    •  4 роки тому

      For me it's never made sense then again I've been right and they have been wrong
      I've always hated that they are either wrong or one have to guess what they actually meaned and fill in the blanks as in expect that they may have meant something else than what they said and that that may be correct.
      For instance they said "there's no risk of people coming from abroad spreading the virus in Sweden", which didn't seemed correct considering there was some risk per person and a bunch of people coming in so of course there should be some risk from it, and as we found out we ended up having a spread here.
      And then there was the study to the regions where they for whatever reason excepted the same result as in China as far as hospitalization and intensive care went amongs those diagnosed at the hospital even though we wouldn't test everyone whereas I assume they in China tried to test everyone they got hold of with symptoms and they also expected that at worst case scenario 1% would be diagnosed because that was twice what had happened in Italy and China. That open up for 0.2% of the population in hospital and 0.05% in intensive care. If one add the original Chinese numbers then that would had been 0.01% dead but with the later numbers it could also be 0.04% dead. But one important explaination for the 1% is that this was for "wave one." The problem with this is that 1) We didn't do the actions China or Italy did and in China they stopped the spread so what say it would stop at 1% here. 2) If we don't test everyone with symptoms but only those who end up tested at hospital why would we expect the same outcome among them as in China and 3) Even in worst case scenario this only had room for 4000 dead though he nevered mentioned those numbers in the FHM text but from the same assumption that's what it would had been and by now we've got more dead than that so clearly it didn't hold. We may have had less people in intensive care though so that could either mean that 1) People who need intensive care in Sweden aren't getting it or 2) We count more deaths than what they did in China.
      As for his very first claim there he could had meant that there was "no chance" that it was spreading out in society AT THAT MOMENT. But that's not what he said. And if he say there's no risk then of course people will act like there is no risk which increase the odds for it to happen. And there always was some risk. If you want to tell how the situation is now then say so. Like "we have no indication we have public transmission anywhere in the country yet" - but he didn't.
      Also you can't expect the good results if you don't practise the good behaviors which resulted in those good results. Sweden have always used a weaker response and then you kinda have to expect that it won't play out as good as in other places.

      Don't be like Sweden. Here in New Zealand we are now 100 days with no community transmissions. Any new imported covid is from new overseas arrivals during their 14 day stay in quarantine areas before they join the community. Here there is no social distancing is required, free to travel all around New Zealand, no crowd limits at events/gatherings. We are half the population of Sweden and only 22 deaths, Sweden 261 times that number. Actually all cause death here in the 1st 23 weeks of this year is the lowest it's been for three years, suicides also lower than the same period last year. I’m a self employed picture framer and sales for last couple of months since our lockdown are better than previous years over the same period as public are encouraged to spend locally.

Last year the mortality on this demographic was 6%. 30,000 ppl everyday are then at risk to succumb to starvation. That out numbers daily covid deaths by 6 to 1.

      a political suicide to go against these recommendations.
      Like Folkhälsomyndigheten with Anders Tegnell; it is not a political institution, it is a institution of officials and experts. But the politicians is in control of the financial allocations to the institutions.
      Just look at who in different countries informs about Corona. Stefan Löven, our prime minister has just a few times make a speech, but the infectious protection experts gives daily press conferences.

I have been to Gothenburg many times (my mother's side of the family comes from Gothenburg and Kungalv) and I appreciate that Swedes trust the government recommendations to keep them safe, and they follow the rules so well.

    Corona outbreak - Sweden worst hit worldwide in May:
    Based on the figures reported by Worldometer, Sweden had the highest number of reported deaths in May per million inhabitants as a result of the virus. The global leaderboard looks like this for last month - and it's not good from a Swedish perspective:
    1. Sweden: 5.78 dead per day per million inhabitants
    2. UK: 5.57 dead per day per million inhabitants
    3. Belgium: 5.21 dead per day per million inhabitants
    First place placement for each month, in terms of reported deaths per capita, looks like this - and it's not neat either:
    January: China
    February: China
    March: Italy
    April: Belgium
    May: Sweden
    However, reported mortality is not the same as actual mortality in the disease. Mortality is probably the best indicator of the latter. Almost all countries report mortality, but this also applies to Sweden. Belgium, which is the best in statistics, is probably closest to the correct figures with the smallest gap between the death toll and reported deaths in covid-19.
    It is surprising that this "Swedish state" is not attracted more attention by Swedish journalists. Maybe Prime Minister Löfven has a comment? Maybe state epidemiologist Tegnell can get some small question on the next FHM briefing? Would that be interesting to the citizens?
    How is it going in June? I think the infection is spreading in Europe (no matter what strategies the different countries have chosen) and that it will be a South American country that will top the statistics. On the one hand, the spread of infection started later in this continent and on the other, the winter begins there. It seems that the coronavirus "virulence" is higher during the winter season.

      First of all the Worldometer numbers for Sweden is not the day they die, it's the day on which death was reported and double-checked.
      It can take several days for a death to be reported sometimes even week, on weekends almost no death are reported to Worldometer.
      So even though they are reported in May, they may died in April.
      There are statistics day by day of death and it is the one presented in Sweden and each day shows how many back in time are newly reported.
      Very strange way of measuring sub-goals, who succeeded better in a given month. Can't we see who has had the most deaths on Wednesdays only as well.
      I Would think that all those who lost a relative shit in what month they died.
      You write that mortality is probably the best indicator.
      Agree fully with you, it is a good indicator of how healthcare has handled the load and if you have managed to protect the elderly and those with underlying illnesses. But since in Sweden and I would believe in most countries do not know how many infected there were, many infected show no symptoms, you can not calculate the mortality.
      And if you do not know the number of infected, then you can not count the number of recovery.
      During 2020 until May 22, there are 2178 more people who died than it did on average between 2015-2019.
      And until then, Sweden had 4350 dead in COVID-19.
      Number of dead in Sweden until 22 May.
      Year - Death
      2015 - 38229

A lot of old people in elderly homes have died. Some countries have banned people from Sweden to enter in their countries. People don't keep a distance and they live almost like normal which I think this video shows very clear. If you have a face mask in Sweden you get joked which I have been on at least 3 ocassions and I have heard other people saying the same thing. Even if people followed the recommendations it wouldn't be enough since they are missing the fact that you can spread the virus even if you don't have symptoms so it's not enough to stay home if you are sick. There is a lot more evidence to show why Sweden's approach is wrong and I am still waiting for any proof that Sweden chose the right strategy.

      That's not how I see it. Concerned people who weren't so sure our so called "covid-response" would cut it were and still are called "alarmist" etc. Our politicians of course said we have "great preparedness" so why should anyone do something about the situation? Then hospital supplies were running low and standards for protective equipment were lowered with the lame exchuse that it "wasn't needed". When the staff in elder care didn't have protective equipment they of course spread the sickness to the patients, many who suffocated and are still suffocating because there isn't oxygen in our elder homes, but solving that problem would actually mean acknowledging there IS a problem and we're too proud for that so we hear bullshit exchuses like "oxygen is so dangerous if not administred by a doctor", while many in the homes get MORPHINE to "ease the anxiety" but also make them suffocate faster... Even though neighboring countries seems to have contained the virus with few new deaths even after lifting restrictions (they're actually testing and tracking infections, unlike us...), it seems like some sweeds and especially politicians are almost hoping that they soon will "catch up" to our high death rates (it's a long way to go...) since they mention it time after time while desperately defending our "strategy".

      SomeOnesSon so do you think that deaths will magically stop in other countries because of lockdowns? Do you think the virus will magically pass over when everyone’s in quarantine? You fail to realize that Sweden’s is miles ahead in herd immunity and have already hit the peak without straining the hospitals (which was the point from the beginning) so while the deaths are sad, everyone will reach those numbers eventually..

    Hi Evan and Julia: Here in Milwaukee, we have been hit very hard with the Corona virus. It has been roughly three months and our Mayor has still not opened up the city for business. You are only allowed outside to get food and gas for your car, as we are experiencing meat and paper shortages mostly due to hoarding. A few months back the furnace repair man came to our house and shortly afterwards both him and his wife got the virus and almost died, but survived. We were tested and they said we also had the virus at one time? We got sick for two days right after the repair man came to our house but it was not bad. As luck would have it, our city is now experiencing rioting the last two days. We have had numerous businesses burned down as the culprits have broke into liquor stores, banks, and Target department stores. They are seen taking cells phones, televisions, liquor, and designer shoes. A police officer has also been shot. Things are not going well here at all. Thank you for telling us the truth how things are going in your city. Almost everyone here is wearing mask and or gloves. Take care, Steve and Jayne
