Yes, locking down earlier would have saved a lot more lives. Boris Johnson is to blame for that.
But the GDP is estimated to fall by 6.5% in the UK. How much is it going to fall by here in Sweden? I remember about 7% but I might be off a little.
Sweden has failed on both points, I don’t see how you can argue against that. I guess that’s why you attack my nationality because you feel yours is threatened – but I live in this country. The failures of this country affect me and those I care about. You shouldn’t let some blind nationalism distract you from the fact that they have failed you too, and you’re in the same shit situation as the rest of us here, whether you support it or not.
So again, when I say the economy is estimated to retract here just as badly/worse than our neighbors, that is a fact. That fact means that we have failed on the economic side of things. Look it up yourself.
You’ve already admitted to a large number of deaths, and that there has been a failure there. So that makes two points. I don’t understand your “not really” reply in the beginning there — yes really, yes really, yes really. Both those points have been failures.
Your claim that it’s because of elderly home deaths is also wrong. The percentage of deaths is rather similar and following the antibody results, 65+ is the least infected age-group. The results are due to the fact that not only did Sweden allow for a larger initial spread than other countries, but there is a decent chunk of excess deaths due to hospital collapse (pre-triage/triage).
Intressant att du säger blind nationalism, i Aftonbladet idag så kallar statsvetare Bo Rothstein det för just en missriktad nationalism:
Svenskarna har haft en missriktad nationalism, man har sett detta som ett slags landskamp, och då ska man heja på hemmalaget, ”Sverige är alltid bäst”. Men detta handlar ju om att en förfärlig massa äldre och sköra personer har strukit med, förmodligen helt i onödan.
Det ovanstående tycker jag präglar "förnekarna" i tråden här väldigt mycket. De vill liksom inte se att Sverige har misslyckats, de letar varje liten bortförklaring och greppar vilket halmstrå som helst, för att försöka få det till att Sverige har klarat sig bra.
Det är sorgligt att se.
