Sorry for the slow response George, I was away from the computer yesterday - i haven't come across anything, that wasn't already on here (i can't actually open your link either without joining something - could you maybe paste some of it here?). I've of course heard some of the praise and criticism of Tegnell, though didn;t remember the name - I've heard some praising sweden's approach in comparison with eg uk, and others comparing the numbers unfavorably with their scandi neighbours. Don't know which is more truthful/applicable. I'm not under any residual illusions about 'sweden as lefty paradise' but apart from that i don;t know. As you might tell from some of my posts i lean towards not ending restrictions in uk until we have test and trace in place, like the WHO has as one of their 6 tests, though we dropped that one (and i'd also have preferred no lockdown being needed because we'd done a south korea). I'm open to evidence from sweden, though their not-lockdown seems effectively similar to our weak lockdown. I suppose it also depends on where their numbers go from here - i had a look on worldometer just now and they're in 10th for deaths per million (denmark 23rd), which doesn't seem that good (though i could probably find a graph where they look better if i looked again, as is the way with statistic fishing). (That was a long way of saying 'i don;t know') |
