The Cases and Deaths in Sweden just keep going up every day. A per capita leader in the world.

There is massively more testing going on...
so we are going to see more cases...

The cumulative total of deaths is going up like it does everytime someone dies in every country.

But the daily new deaths chart.... has gone down dramatically. You have been lying your ass off about that....

Just tell us... is the daily death chart hitting new highs as you pretend or is it going down over the last 30 days or more.

The Cases and Deaths in Sweden just keep going up every day. A per capita leader in the world.

Virus pariah Sweden's reputation takes a hit

Sweden has long enjoyed a strong reputation as a world leader on issues like gender equality and human rights, but its reputation is taking a beating over its softer approach to the new coronavirus, with Swedes now unwelcome across much of Europe.

As many European nations reopened their borders on Monday, at least seven countries have barred Swedes from entering -- including closest neighbours Denmark, Norway and Finland -- and five others require them to quarantine if they do enter.

More propaganda from the fearful doomer.

It's a nation whose public health policies suck so bad that other nations will not allow them entry over their borders --- and the majority of foreigner residents are looking to leave.

I am completely correct about Sweden. Even Swedish officials are now stating I am completely correct.

Sweden managed to BOTH tank their economy and have one of the highest death rates on the face of the earth.

Their policy was completely misguided.

Let's look at the 4th point from one of the world's leading medical scientists, William Haseltine, is saying:

4. ‘Herd immunity’ is a dubious prospect.

Haseltine also thinks you can forget about herd immunity as some kind of saving grace. There is a reason that we all get colds every year and that’s because immunity to the four corona viruses that cause colds doesn’t last long.

“There’s no such thing as herd immunity for this disease. I doubt it will ever exist,” Haseltine said in a Reuters interview, because “people who have had it are getting reinfected.” He thinks Sweden made a bad mistake going for herd immunity, and then cites the nation’s death rate which is higher than any other Scandinavian country.

One health expert I saw recently said the concept of "herd immunity" with respect to this kind of virus is not applicable. Not even sure what various people have been trying to say on this topic here but if they are depending on "herd immunity" as a key part of their platform it's dead wrong imo.

Meanwhile several US states that seem to have more of a culture of flaunting the virus impact ( eg Florida ) are seeing a spike in cases now. That's what helped create much higher virus infection numbers originally in the US then Canada ( pro rated ), a more casual attitude about the virus in a significant proportion of the population. I'd add accessibility to affordable health care as a likely second contributing factor but I can't verify that theory.

Florida is indeed seeing a spike in cases. But a large part of this is due to increase in testing.

Fortunately, deaths are at all-time low. Please note that death reporting tends to be slightly delayed and sometimes revised.

When articles or people don't mention this data in context... they are propaganda.

The interesting question is why?
Texas and Arizona are interesting.
I wish they were on this chart.
But I have been following this chart for over a week.
