No. You need to compare their performance against the rest of Europe. Picking a small sub-set of the Scandinavian countries means you avoid analysing what went well and not so well in Sweden. They are ahead of Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK in terms of Covid19 stats and we need to ask why...

It will take a while to gather the French and German data in a format PR will accept but let's start with a comparison of Swedish All Death Data (thru weeks 1 - 36 ) with their Scandinavian peers which is what most folks fetishise over ... Sweden is comparable to Finland, Denmark is generally higher...

I could be wrong but I don't think Sweden was front line with early infections. Italy, Spain, France, and Belgium were. Sweden should be compared with their own Scandinavian neighbours who were in a similar position. Sweden just stood back and said to the virus, 'come and get me'. It did. No. You n...

New Zealand's Covid response was and still is attacked by 'economy first, health second' pandemic-deniers using Sweden's supposed lockdown-free approach as a weapon. Perhaps this explains why we'd like to see evidence Sweden's approach is better rather than Tegnell and co. declaring themselves winn...

Of course CFR is falling. Only an idiot would actually use it to point out a drastic difference in the disease. For the umpteenth time most 'experts' estimated an IFR of between 0.5-1% from the start, some coming in a bit lower. As cases converge on actual infection rate, so will the CFR converge t...

Could be worse, could be better if people confronted reality. If the young and healthy people "vaccinated" themselves by exposure to the mild respiratory virus, while we protect the truly vulnerable aged and those with an existing serious illness, we would have a better outcome faster in terms of o...

I’m very interested what happens in Germany, they avoided a big hit first time out. The places in Europe that avoided it last time are getting it now. But the Germans have the infrastructure and cop on to deal with it. And a much smarter testing regime and capacity ... Does the Covid19 virus know w...

The modelling shows each wave being less severe but also relies on 'immunity' for a couple of years that hasn't been established yet. Of course it is less severe as more immune response protection develops in the community. But I am not a medical doctor, whatever bollix ... the pattern is typical f...

This wave not near as deadly as the last. Each wave you would imagine will have less impact I posted a link yesterday from NPR.

Cases have been sitting around 1-1.2k a day for a while now, have we hit some plateau? If they hit a testing capacity plateau, then you will hit a positive result plateau.

Cases have been sitting around 1-1.2k a day for a while now, have we hit some plateau?

Wouldn't it be great if the fuckwit under 40s could be vaccinated - then they wouldn't catch it and pass it on to the vulnerable.
