That article misunderstands what happened in the UK. They had several counts of death, using different terminology, none of which have changed. They just decided to use a different one for official reporting

No, the article very clearly says that they added a 28 day cutoff for Covid positivity. Covid is a lethal virus for only a very specific cohort, i.e. elderly and with comorbidities. For the rest it is a mild infection, no worse than many other diseases.

Replying to @nikhil_k56 @GidMK and
The world drastically over reacted due to panic, and only the Swedes kept their heads and followed a rational policy. Lockdown effects are going to be much worse than Covid itself.

Can you please show me the source of the data for that graph? I'd like to see the data that suggests that a minority of COVID-19 deaths in Sweden are directly due to COVID-19. Pretty sure even the British recategorisation hasn't led to any such conclusion.

https://twitter.com/JarvsoLonnmo/status/1302593580012371969?s=19 … The source is right there in the thread. Unfortunately in Swedish, but has been explained by others.

Andreas Lönnmo 🏳️🌈 @JarvsoLonnmoReplying to @craniosurgeon @jhnhellstrom and 2 othersYou can read the report from ”Östergötland” Unfortunately not translated to English but Google translate will du the trick. This report reflects death outside hospitals https://www.regionostergotland.se/contentassets/621708f279b94b0e84fc3e4e2f5a337e/dodsfall-med-covid-19-pa-sarskilda-boenden-eller-i-eget-hem-i-ostergotland.pdf …2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Well that source contradicts the graph, according to Google Translate at least. It's also only about a tiny subset of care home patients in one part of Sweden

They have both data, in hospital and out of hospital. Their point is that Covid on it's own rarely kills. You need to be elderly, and have comorbidities.

That's incorrect. Our meta-analysis showed remarkably high death rates even in middle age, with an exponential increasehttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v4 …

This paper gives an IFR of 0.4 at age 55, 1.3% at 65, so I don't see how you conclude remarkably high middle aged mortality.

That's extremely high. The death rate for 50-64 from influenza estimated by the CDC is ~0.03%, which is about 13 times lower than the IFR for 55 year olds and 40 times lower than the IFR for 65 year olds from covid

No one says that Covid is innocuous. What I am saying is that it is not so bad that the societal reaction is justified. And lockdowns are going to kill far more people than the theoretical lives saved

Nonsense. You called it a "mild infection" and said that on it's own it "rarely kills". You were incorrect
