    This is absolutely tragic, especially given how foreseeable such a tragedy washttps://twitter.com/DrKatrin_Rabiei/status/1339988268331323392 …

    🚨🚨🚨 Press conference in Sweden by the 🇸🇪 government including @SwedishPM & head of the public health agency. I will summarize what they said here 🧵: @SwedishPM: "Healthcare is doing all they can but their strength is ebbing away." https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/senaste-nytt-om-coronaviruse …

        This was the country praised by The Australian a few months back.... as the way to go! Mortality rate over 12X that of next door Norway, which followed the 'science'

        Well, we see now what happen in Denmark. Sweden is now 15. deaths per million list in Europe and many other countries coming up on list.

        Sweden, 786 deaths/1m. Denmark, 176 deaths/1 million. Norway 76 deaths/1 million. One of these things is not like the others.

        No more tragic than other lockdown countries. Unless one keeps wrongly insisting in comparing Sweden to Norway. https://twitter.com/RealJoelSmalley/status/1339539304763301890 …

        I don’t understand why we continue to make exceptions for gyms. People can exercise at home, go for a walk, go for a run. Gyms are a social activity and alternatives exist.

        There is nothing tragic about the Swedish case. In fact, their numbers of critically ill with Covid are low. Not much different from other countries with several degrees of lockdown. The key is to have a balance between general well being & Covid.
