But you'd be amazed how we defend our strategy still. Tegnell (our chief epidemiologist) is treated like royalty. Some dude even tattooed his arm with a pic of his face.

The problem is a willfully stupid government. Get better government soon, Sweden.

No cases reported in Croatia?
butthurtnevergetsbetter
There's no cases, so please let them have 20% of their economy back. Tourism is perfectly safe!

And I cant even visit my family in Norway. Havent met my sisters or nieces in months. I hate this.

Would it help if I said that we still love you guys, but hate your gov? :)
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
I share that sentiment, and thank you ?

best (worst) part is, they're not avoiding the economic pain anyway so the approach has failed there too. Sources:

Who knew that letting people die would scare off visitors?

sweden, the USA of europe. now for something else: anyone knows what wrong with that dark red spot in portugal ?
butthurtnevergetsbetter
It's a major population center. Big old anthill. Not good if you want to have people keep their distance.

That is Lisbon, which has an airport. I guess they have screened people there coming in.
KnightThatDrinksTea
I see. Makes sense somehow

I've watched/listen to you guys defend your strategy. I'm sorry you have to live with it. Try to stay safe, if you can.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
Many many have been defending the strategy in a way I can't really comprehend. Those who disagrees are labeled morons
industrialdamage
I've been called that for questioning the Swedish strategy before. I gotta say, I don't feel that moronic. I wish there was something more
industrialdamage
I could do than offer verbal platitudes. But again, try to stay safe, if you can. Hopefully one or other of the vaccines lives up to

expectations, and quickly.

This is just reflecting an increase in testing. Sweden went from testing very few to testing a lot of people. Nr of people in hospital /1

Continues to go down and has for quite some time now.

True, but doesn't explain the massive deaths we've had.
ErikRed
Thats due to not protecting care homes in the Stockholm region. If you compare malmö with copenhagen they have had similar mortality rate.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
Not really. Disregard all elderly deaths and we still have three times as many dead as the rest of Scandinavia combined.
ErikRed
Which comparatively isnt that much more if you take in account population differences. The rest of scandinavia have also just begun opening-
ErikRed
Up and will likely see an increase in cases as they do.

Well they count every person who had tested positive during the last 30 days, even if the person died of something else.
butthurtnevergetsbetter
Sweden has done less tests than the Netherlands, but have more cases. Also 10M inhabitants vs NL's 17M.
unikorv
I'm not saying anything about that, just how the deaths are counted.
ElroydIsGone
That's what most countries do. The high numbers of Belgium come from even attributing untested, suspected deaths in nursing homes to COVID.

I thought many countries counted differently. Honestly, I'm hardly following this due to other stuff but I'm isolated and do what I can.
