The New New New Covid Strain

[thinkingman]

program your ugly little redhead spewer of nonsense with how this is an uncontrollable crisis

the media robots will follow

[Ben_Natuf]

has nothing to do with a vaccine mandate. sweeden was the only country in europe to not see a recent delta surge, thats because they used a different strategy. it worked as good as any other. they got what they wanted, a population thats more immune than others.

Look at the Deaths per 1M Population column. Israel is 879 and Sweden is 1485.

here’s the data that matters

focus on the right portion of the graph.

sweden must be doing something right. wonder what it is

Perhaps it is because most of their old and unhealthy population died in the first two waves?

[thinkingman]

and what happened to “delta”?

not an issue in sweden

it’s all such ■■■■■■■■

Sweden disagrees with you

Sweden’s public health chief: Latest coronavirus curbs may not be enough

“If we have the continued low pressure from the virus which we have just now, then maybe proof of vaccination (for larger public gatherings) would be enough,” Anders Tegnell, the architect of Sweden’s no-lockdown approach to the pandemic, told a press briefing in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

“But experiences from many other European countries — the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria — suggest that if the spread of virus increases, then it is not enough.”

he doesn’t disagree with me. he disagrees with reality. and data

i can’t help him. neither can you

[JimmyC]

He’s the architect of the Swedish covid policy you are touting. You are now saying he disagrees with reality?

you know sweden has like nearly twice the population as each of their three immediate neighbors right?

of course you do. but youre hoping no one else knows. you have a narrative to project

twice the population and 10 times the deaths…what does that say to you?

that deaths vs population are not a simple 1 to 1 relationship

5th grade math.

what’s it say to you?

[JimmyC]

For one, Sweden is requiring proof of vaccination for anyone attending an indoor event with more than 100 people.

We were discussing their performance with their nordic neighbors, who are more similar to them in climate and population density - they are very sparsely populated countries.

Why have they done so poorly in comparison?

Sure about that? Sweden pop density 22.1, Norway 8.54, Finland 16.37 and Netherlands 413. So it would seem they have a wide distribution of densities
