Oh well......my point stands.Sweden's liberal pandemic strategy questioned as Stockholm death toll mounts
A spike in novel coronavirus infections and deaths in Stockholm has raised questions about Sweden's decision to fight the outbreak without resorting to the lockdowns that have left much of Europe at a standstill. Governments across Europe have closed schools and taken draconian measures to...news.yahoo.com
Sweden has focused on isolating and treating the sick rather than closing down swathes of society.
Gatherings of more than 50 people have been banned, high schools and universities have moved teaching online and people have been told not to take unnecessary trips, all quite low-key measures in a European context.
The public face of Sweden's pandemic fight, Health Agency Chief Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, only months ago a little known civil servant but now rivalling the prime minister for publicity, has questioned how effectively lockdowns can be enforced over time.
"It is important to have a policy that can be sustained over a longer period, meaning staying home if you are sick, which is our message," said Tegnell, who has received both threats and fan mail over the country's handling of the crisis.
"Locking people up at home won't work in the longer term," he said. "Sooner or later people are going to go out anyway."
The experiment continues in Sweden..........of EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING HERE. In a nutshell they think that the young and those that normally beat this thing will get it.......beat it and no longer be able to transmit it..............so a vast portion of the country will become IMMUNE to it.......They quarantine the sick...........advise those with high risk to hide........and let the main HERD LOOSE.......
They are calling it HERD MENTALITY.
It's herd immunity, dumbass! No, you have it all wrong.
