      This time last year people claimed that Sweden would reach herd immunity by May 12 months on and the situation is still not greathttps://twitter.com/DavidSteadson/status/1382310237391175684 …

      The other claim repeated by officials and others worldwide was that any future waves in Sweden would be very minor due to pre-existing immunity This, too, does not seem to have happened

          Turns out it takes *a lot* of immune people to shut down a highly infectious disease! Who knew…

          The people who made those claims refraining from trying to steer policy after being repeatedly proven wrong also does not seem to have happened

          Please do check the only relevant parameter, which is deaths. Sweden is doing not that bad as you can see. At the moment they have a mortality which is very low compared to past years. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa/page/page_0/ …

          The number of deaths in Sweden is almost ten times higher than neighbouring Norway - adjusted to population size.

          Same thing was planned for México but without so much publicity. México has suffered half a million deaths, if counted by excess mortality. And we're still expecting a third wave... Natural infection has not helped to reach herd immunity at all.

          I feel like Sweden has been over-politicised, and differences exaggerated. Its outcome is similar to other countries in Europe, better than Czechia, not as good as Germany. These claims come from quotes taken out of context, and Sweden being represented as a contrast to China.
