Deaths due to Lockdown

So, had followed the Swedish approach- as some suggested- at worst we'd be no worse off and, quite probably, better off- certainly in terms of the economic impact plus we'd have gained the herd immunity Sweden has. Well done Prof Pantsdown, the Media, all those who demanded a Lockdown etc, not to mention the panic buyers with their trolleys full of loo rolls. Were it not so bloody tragic, I'd be laughing and saying I told you so. I don't have the impression the Swedish approach has been a great success. Its death rate per million is one of the highest in Europe and the population has become cowed by their experience into voluntary isolation and distancing. Like the UK, Swedish care home deaths account for approx half of Covid fatalities. I wish the Swedes had found a magic formula which we could learn from it but it doesn't seem so. Covid deaths per million: UK 667 Spain 608 Italy 580 Sweden 558 France 462 See also: "Swedish exceptionalism has been ended by coronavirus" "It has taken a shocking Covid-19 death toll to dent the national self- image of moral superiority. But dented it has been." "Through a uniquely slack approach (seen by many as the largely debunked 'herd immunity' approach, even if the government denies this), Sweden reached the highest Covid-19 deaths per capita in the world in May. It still circles around the top, with more than 5,200 deaths €“ five times as many as in Norway, Finland and Denmark combined. After months of a mainly one-sided debate, critical voices are mounting. Even Swedens state epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, admits to fault." https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...un/26/swedish- exceptionalism-coronavirus-covid19-death-toll So Swedens rate / million is lower (excluding France) yet they avoided the extreme lockdown. You really didnt think about your post, did you? ;-) -- https://www.unitedway.org/our-impact...an-trafficking |
