    Wait, what? What about the herd immunity #COVID19 cranks tell me that Sweden has achieved? 🙄https://twitter.com/ChrChristensen/status/1316324723828166656 …

    17 of 21 Swedish regions now reporting rise in COVID cases. Uppsala seeing 7.5% of tests positive, compared to previous 1-2%, and planning on tighter regional restrictions. Numerous Swedish hospitals reporting increase in admissions, and plan for more. pic.twitter.com/pgMB332IF3

        Drives me mad. Everyone I know using Sweden as an example is only looking at the bits of data from months ago --

        500 cases / 130 000 tests. Up a bit, but from very low levels. https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/smittskydd-beredskap/utbrott/aktuella-utbrott/covid-19/statistik-och-analyser/antalet-testade-for-covid-19/ … ICU cases / deaths very stable since July. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa … Sweden did not use a herd immunity strategy and is being used as a weapon in internal US debate.https://debunkingdenialism.com/2020/07/29/sweden-did-not-take-herd-immunity-approach-against-coronavirus-pandemic/ …

        Replying to @debunkdenialism @gorskon

        In May, only people who were admitted to hospital were tested in Sweden, whereas testing is being done generally now, so the heights of the peaks are not comparable. Testing strategies described under "Förändringar i provtagningen för covid-19"https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/smittskydd-beredskap/utbrott/aktuella-utbrott/covid-19/statistik-och-analyser/bekraftade-fall-i-sverige/ …

        Sweden invited a worse situation than many other countries & still took the economic hit. Anyway, if you want to copy Sweden's way of dealing with the spread of the virus, you'd better copy Sweden's extremely generous medical, unemployment & other welfare spending as well.pic.twitter.com/KozEUkTnS1
