You are still looking past the fact that the reason these workers were denied protective gear such as PPE3 masks etc. has been due to the MSB’s lack of securing them in time.
Beeing factual, we have actually not discussed MSB or their role at all, so far.
Now, that you bring them up, I think they have a lot of responsibility. But it is not them only. Up to early 1990 there were a lot of PPE stored. Then most of it was burned. It was, by many at the time, considered that since Sovjet Union did not exist any more, PPE was not needed. Finland kept their PPE in store. Thats one of several reasons why Finland were much better off than Sweden when the pandemic took off. I have written about this before.
So, what fact was I looking past?

It has been due to the lack of guidelines mandating face-masks at a bare minimum in the beginning of the crisis and an incredibly messy guideline structure from the FHM. You can tell me that it’s due to workers employed by the hour and shifted around facilities (which would be much less of a problem if face-masks had been advocated for much earlier by the FHM) but you fail to realize that these are factors that the FHM should have known of and adjusted to accordingly.
Again, to be factual, I have actually wrote about the significance of lack of PPE. We need to look at all causes and not only pick one.
To be fair, there is little or no formal connection between FHM and elderly care. Elderly care is more a resposibility of SKR.
Also, to be fair, whoever you like to blame, if blame is your objective, what was and is wrong in elderly care is a result of a process that have gone on for years. It is not realistic to believe that can be fixed in a week or so.
Again, if blame is your objective, who is responsible for that elderly care became what it is? COVID-19 in not a flu, but many of the ways that should be available to protect care takers from flu, are similar to those needed to protect them from COVID-19.

Whether the employee base was filled with Swedish people or entirely filled with immigrants, it wouldn’t matter. The outcome would be the same. Why? Because the instructions they were given to protect themselves and their clients were faulty. Because visits into these facilities were happening until far too late. Because it didn’t account for asymptomatic spread, came far too late, and for quite some time consisted only of washing your hands. Because treatment to the elderly was denied and morphine was given (this kills the elderly, man).
Again, to be factual, I never wrote that it was the fact that they were immigrants that mattered.
Facts that mattered were and are:
– Lack of knowledge of the lokal language (by the way, this is a Swedish forum...).
– Lack of knowledge about basic hygiene practices.
– Lack of knowledge about basic medicine and how infections are spread.
– Lack of PPE have of course nothing with the origin of the personell to do...
I agree, that quite a few elderly could have been saved if given oxygen rather than morphine. Oxygen was not an option since personell was not trained in using oxygen. For reasons explained above.

But Sweden isn’t really that different from other countries in percentages of deaths in elderly homes (although other countries adjusted, locked down community spread and never got up to these absurd numbers). It’s just the easiest place to scapegoat failures on. You blame immigrants for it, and that’s probably the easiest way for you to reconcile these things. But it’s not really the case here. Does it matter if the facility staff is Swedish or Mexican if the treatment method is heavy drugs to slow breathing? Does it matter if the facility staff is Swedish or Chinese if no protective gear can be procured by the government? Does it matter if the facility staff is Swedish or from Mars if the guidelines given to them is not enough to prevent spread in the workplace?
You are not forgetting that Belgium, Italy, Spain, France, Great Britain and many other countries applied total lock down, are you? Where did it get them?
If you look for scapegoats you can use the tactics that
arbetet here is an expert in. Confuse correlation and causality.
I much rather look at cause effect relationships.

Read what I have written again! Not one time have I put blame on immigrants. What I do though is that if immigrants play a role in a chain of events, I don't close my eyes, I don't look elsewhere, just to avoid that facts and truth can be used the wrong way by some extremist. PC, even if it's original intension was basically good, it was clear from start that it could be used for opinion control and mind control. Once you can leave that behind you can see beyond PC and look for
why certain groups more frequently than others are involved in or cause certain problems. Remaining blindfolded, by something considered PC or something else, does not allow you to get close enough to the problem to even look for a solution. Can't we agree that it is a solution we want?
IMO, if a persons values are so fragile so they can't be questioned, it is likely that these values lack something essential.
Your opinion and my opinion
Like many on this and other forums you often place opinions on me and others here.
I strongly prefer that I am allowed to express my opinions and that you express yours.
When you start to tell me what my opinion is you are, in general, way-off and often dead wrong.
