In the Coronavirus Fight in Scandinavia, Sweden Stands Apart

[Tsing Tao]

As stated directly in my post -- we are using YOUR numbers for the two other countries. Here is your text again.

Finland, last month, deaths by COVID according to Worlometers: 86 if I counted correctly.
Please feel free to verify.

Norway, last month, deaths by COVID according to Worlometers: 38 if I counted correctly.
Please feel free to verify.

LOL! Are you out of your mind?

You can't argue that my numbers are too low because of problems with Worldmeters, and then go ahead and accept these too low numbers for the comparison countries because they work to your benefit. Do you not understand the concept of apples to apples?

You specifically stated that Sweden's weekly numbers were worse than neighboring countries month numbers. You said this. You either had a source to prove those numbers, or you made it up completely. If you had a source, what was the source (of the other countries)? If you didn't, then admit making shit up,.

You can't argue my Sweden numbers are too low because of methodology problems with Worldometers and then turn around and accept the same source you had problems with for the comparison countries!

Critical thinking is still your problem.

As mentioned many times previously... the COVID numbers from Sweden are delayed. This has been covered multiple times in this thread including the warnings from Worldmeters (and other sites) and their switching of sources to John Hopkins for ourworldindata, etc. for Sweden. Worldmeters and other data locations had entire articles about the data delays from Sweden. Go back in this thread to go read all the references on this. One reference - https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...den-stands-apart.342513/page-176#post-5265998

The COVID numbers from Finland and Norway on Worldmeters are generally accurate and not delayed since these countries generally report up-to-date COVID information daily.

But you are perfectly aware of all of this already... and it is obvious now you are just trolling.

Sweden reports their numbers 4 times a week... but you have never shown that Sweden's reports are more delayed than other countries.
I don't know any country which is reporting data real time do you?

They all have to compile it and then release it.

===
You have been very stupid on this issue for months.
So I will settle it right now with links...

Sweden reports the batched death data... which Reuters, John Hopkins and others pick up and report.

Then on their official Swedish site they reconcile those deaths to the actual date of death...

For instance... I will prove below with links...

Lets look at March 26th....

Sweden's official site has 4 deaths
John's Hopkins data has 29 deaths.

So as you can see... Sweden made the full report... they just reconcile the data to the date of death on their official site.

So you are saying that Sweden is delayed, but Finland and Norway (as an example) are perfectly fine? We can use Worldometers for Finland and Norway, but not for Sweden?

It's a Festivus miracle!!

Yes, when Sweden only reports on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.... and the government outlines that there are delays in their COVID death data... and the other countries report more frequently and more completely --- then yes --- as explained many times previously the data from Finland and Norway are more up-to-date than information from Sweden.

After I explained to you at least the dozen times the reporting mechanisms of Sweden you finally are able to do the math that they only report their numbers four times per week. At least you are making progress in basic math.

You were the moron who acted like that 4x per week was an important distinction until I pointed out that issue was irrelevant since we were looking at 7 day averages...duh.

If you don't like the Worldmeters data than you can go directly to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health COVID website, go down to their section on weekly/daily deaths and view your selection (in Norwegian). The data matches the other major data collection websites.
https://www.fhi.no/en/id/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/daily-reports/daily-reports-COVID19/
or you can go to the WHO website for Norway for clear charts in English
https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/no

Similarly for Finland you can go to the Finish Institute for Health and Welfare website and navigate within the Finish language sections
https://thl.fi/en/web/infectious-di...atest-updates/situation-update-on-coronavirus
or you can go to the WHO website for Finland for clear charts in English.

You were the fool regularly looking at the most recent death data in a chart from Sweden proclaiming -- "look they had no deaths for two days so they are doing much better than everyone else". Completely SAD on your part.

you fucking idiot...

that was when they had an average 1 to 4 deaths a day for about month or more... you idiot.. and I do no recall saying zero. .. but there may have been a few days of zero... I also know I frequently spoke of the 7 day average....

and they were doing very well.

look at last summer you moron and early fall...
