Mask recommendations issued for the first time in December. Plus a lot of nursing homes have chosen to close to visitors so grand parents visits are limited. And High schools switched to remote learning. Life certainly isn’t back to normal there.
Where is the evidence of it actually happening.
You don’t think “necessary and urgent” heart and cancer surgery being delayed is a problem?
More people died in December 1993 in Sweden than April 2020. Also, there is basically zero flu now so look at excess mortality before preaching doomsday predictions.
They had their deadliest November since 1918. Excess mortality was
clearly above average in 2020, as was the same in every European country.
Sweden’s strategy has given them a
death rate 10 times higher than their Nordic brethren in Norway and Finland and 3 times higher than Denmark.
But the most telling thing is that even the King of Sweden admitted their strategy has been a failure. Their Prime Minister
has admitted it was a failure. Even their Chief Epidemiologist
back-pedalled. You can’t try to rehabilitate what they’ve done now if they themselves have admitted it was a mistake.
