It's the other way round. Those who do all the covid sop are actually very stressed up. Disinfecting everyday is now an obsessive compulsive disorder. It is fear rather than saving lives.

Elderly frail and immune compromised will have a regrettable death rate. Dr Fauci’s prediction of 2 million dead in one year thank God did not happen but 200,000 and counting is bad news too. Various states imposed various levels of lock down. California where I live has been very strict and decimated huge sections of the economy. But did CA really do better than other states.

The critical difference is that in general, Swedes have a more pragmatic and less instinctively critical attitude to government decisions. Over here, Johnson was castigated for his dithering and inertia at the start of the pandemic and is now being criticized for both too little action and simultaneously, for initiating measures that are considered too draconian. It was and still is politically impossible in the UK to even consider a herd immunity approach to tackling the virus. As deaths increase, the herd immunity strategy would be overwhelmingly condemned to a point whereby a government U-turn would be inevitable. We would never even reach the point where it would be possible to look back and assess the success/failure of such a strategy.

I have a question. What does lockdown mean? It's extremely hard to pin down with people. Sweden closed high schools before summer because the risks to that population and their contribution to spread was unknown at the time. The government also passed legislation so they could close secondary and primary schools if they wish but they haven't yet (local governments control that normally). And they recommend you work from home if you can. I see these steps as being a lockdown. At least part of it. Where's the line? Not all governments recommended face masks during their peaks. So it can't be that either. And everyone is told to stay at home and get tested when they have symptoms. Something we've never seen that can classify as lockdown in my view is fines for not complying with what's recommendations here. I'm in Sweden and the way I see it we have a lockdown. Commuters in Stockholm like pictured early on in the video is the only place that's a significant risk outside workplaces/schools according to what our public health officials are saying. People sitting in the open air at park benches isn't a risk at large scales. Same with restaurants assuming proper spacing (government closed some restaurants for failing at this). What's a lockdown if we don't have it?

I think it's important to point out they were in fact correct

We already know that they were right. This report assumes that the only valid criteria are infection and death rates, but it is obvious that the economic consequences of lockdown need to be factored in and the Swedes are way better off in that regard. If one were to make a moral argument about balancing money and death rates one would be ignoring the fact that such calculations are made every day by countries with public health services. The amounts of money involved in policy decisions about dispensing high cost life saving drugs are much less than the cost of lockdowns.

Why have the Swedes done better? Herd immunity may have been the right thing to do. Let the young people get it keep the vulnerable home.

The other countries besides Sweden didn't have below average years last year. Hence why they didn't have an excess of comibid people in 2020 to cause a bigger spike. Also Sweden has 20% of its population about 70. Compared to just 10% in the UK. Sweden had a high rate because of the soft previous years and it's large aged population . Also it takes 23 days for death to begin..meaning that even if Sweden locked down when the other nordics did they would have already had the virus out in the community and spread. So that first spike was baked in. Regardless of lockdowns or not.

People do not crowd each others space, shops are far less crowded. People do not tend to shout or even speak loudly. In Scandinavias as a rule.

Norway has had quite strict restrictions, and Sweden much less so. Norway has had much more success in death rates. ... so far ...

The likelihood of dying from covid (as opposed to with it) is very small indeed - the health authorities in Italy and the US have said 99% and 94% respectively did not die of covid. There's a similar figure from Australia. So, whilst it's true that this is not just another flu it does bear comparison with the more lethal strains of flu. Something like 30,000 people died of (or with) flu in early 2018, but we didn't implode the country because of it. The only way is by herd immunity; if the virus can't find anybody to successfully infect after a while it will fade into the background. The flu never goes away (its killed more people than covid for 14 weeks or something), but the impression is given that it only pops up during the winter. What is going on here and elsewhere will come back hard in the shape of collateral deaths, which even our government suggests will far outweigh covid related deaths to date (75,000 as opposed to circa 42,000), and the appalling effect lockdown is having on people's mental health and their basic human interactions.

It’s so refreshing to see people with no masks!! This masks have a much bigger psychological implications then most people realize or care to look into it . At least here in US is striking how much wearing a mask changed people’s behavior . Some very noticeable behavior changes in people are in customer service ( groceries stores , department stores ) lack of greeting the customers , lack of eye contact , not even mentioned smiling that would be obvious pointless . It’s almost like people are a lot less present and much more walking around like robots avoiding even looking at each other .... very sad .

It definitely takes some guts to do what Sweden did. Not many countries’ leaders have them

I'm feel like crying of anger when I look at Sweden and compare it with my own country! Sweden is the only country in Europe who did the right thing, although they were hit hard in the beginning.

Hit hard mostly in the care homes and those of a vulnerable nature. But the overall death toll was small based on the overall population. the overall global death count is way, way, way below 1%. this virus all along has been over 90% mild.

At least one fifth of the population in Sweden is aged over 65, where those with diagnosed health conditions are denied publicly funded medical treatment. Death numbers are lower in Denmark and Norway where fewer deaths were ATTRIBUTED to CoViD'19 that occurred due to preexisting conditions including advanced age.

Sweden is not as densely populated as the UK so it’s not a fair comparison. What would be an appropriate comparison is looking at their neighbouring Scandinavian countries. Sweden has had the most deaths. Is that a success?

Well locking down was SUPPOSED to be very short term. And they just kept extending it. The entire pandemic started with one case, common sense says that it will spread again, so long as there is at least one infected person. May as well get it over with. This whole pandemic has been overblown. More than a 98% survival rate, even for those who get imfectd..

2% death rate is a huge impact. Larger than most wars. And besides death there seem to be some long term problems even for people who were symptom free or had only weak symptoms. This is not just respiratory virus. It attacks multiple organs throughout the body, including heart, kidney, and brain. There are neurological problems popping up after some covid infections.. with possible triggers for Parkinson's, etc. Don't underestimate the danger. Clearly the best strategy is to enact measures with the best efficiency/cost ratio (distancing, face masks in close-quarters conditions) while we wait for a vaccine, or a drug which can help people deal with the disease.

@@philup4947 ​ This is not a dilemma between saving lives and saving the economy. People will die no matter what. There will be economic impacts no matter what. The problem is that if we let this thing run its course, both aspects will be much worse: more death and worse economic impact. It might seem that sacrificing the 1-2% of population will save the economy but it won't. The situation would get even worse. What you would see is the situation from NY in late April repeating all over the place. Overflowing collapsing hospitals. People would start to self-quarantine even without mandatory lock-downs. The 1918 epidemic shows that US cities which enacted better countermeasures like social distancing have faster economic recovery afterwards. It's also not just about the deaths, the long term covid-related complications will also cause economic problems later. Several years following the Spanish flu there was an "unexplained" wave of neurological problems. There are already indications that COVID can cause neurological and cardiological problems and damage lungs even after mild infections. So what happens if we let this thing run through and 80% people get infected with this virus, and large portion of them will get neurological problems from brain inflammations? What if we see a wave of Parkinson's and similar 4-5 years down the road? That would have a huge economic impact..

Everyone is still wearing masks in those countries. Additionally a study showed 50% of people in Tokyo had some exposure meaning they had greater immunity than Westerners. Though I will admit what worked in Sweden may not work in the UK France or Spain

Lots to learn from Sweden.

Jan Strang. Yes , mainly the fact that arrogance causes deaths . Our benign northern overlords diyng by the dozens while lesser peoples are doing better.

The reality is, when you have a contagious disease, no matter what you do, some people will die. Things in nature happen that we cannot totally control.

I was worried for Sweden at first, but their thoery proved correct. We need to protect the vulnerable but healthy keep the country ticking over. 😍😁
