Their attitude to socialising, culturally , is very different to that of the UK's is it not?  I think that may be a big factor. 

Aye that's correct professor Parklife studied the behaviour and attitudes of 10 million Swedes back near the start of lockdown.

Indeed it is.

Also class how the "expert" in Dayts' article is the guy who is responsible for Sweden's entire strategy. ?

We were. As she said again and again though, the biggest issue is cases being brought in to the country. Unlike proper countries, we can't control our borders.

The expert is Sweden's state epidemiologist, why would you think that "class" and worthy of a laugh over?

Even a blind person could see they've handled it a lot better than us, you really should stop digging that hole, will just get deeper. Might be a first in your life but you got it wrong.

Won't be many, majority of those getting tested will be unaware they have it, be test and traced people or just worried students and the like. It makes very few people ill.

I know, but what is the number?  it was always about protecting the vulnerable though and the whole problem is balancing that  No one ever said that it was going to kill every cunt.  If you ask me there should more campaigns to prevent folk  turning into fucking blobs. All this easy access to getting fast food delivered to your front door will kill more people than the 'ronas.    iyam.

Because he's the one who came up with their strategy, so he's obviously going to say it's working brilliantly. Surely you can see he's not an impartial judge? 

 

He doesn't say it works brilliantly.

 

Sweden's state epidemiologist has claimed that the consistency of his country's coronavirus restrictions is what has so far saved it from the surges in cases seen elsewhere in Europe.

Asked what had prevented Sweden from so far suffering a second wave like Spain's, Anders Tegnell downplayed the importance of immunity, stressing that achieving 'herd immunity' had never been a goal of Sweden's strategy. 

“I'm not sure that the level of immunity in Sweden and in Spain differs very much,” he said. “I think the main difference between Sweden and many other countries is that we have had the same kind of restrictions and recommendations in place the whole time.

“And we have a really big adherence from the population to those recommendations. And that makes a difference, that makes us hopefully less susceptible to a second wave.”

Ever since Sweden decided not to close primary and lower secondary schools, bars, restaurants, or sports clubs, Dr Tegnell has insisted that restrictions and recommendations needed to be light enough that they can be kept in place for a long period.

While he said he wasn't ruling out a spike in infections in Sweden, he argued that imposing and then lifting heavy restrictions triggered surges in infection.

“Maybe we'll have the same experience in a few weeks' time, we'll see, but as I said, I think the big difference is that Spain had a strict lockdown and then opened up again, and then you do get back to quite a lot spread of disease.”
