Sweden becomes an example of how not to handle COVID-19
/.../
Sweden's government now admits that procedures in care homes at the outbreak of the pandemic were inadequate. As far Helen Gluckman is concerned, that's an understatement. Her 80-year-old father Jan died in a home in April.
Near the end, "he was squeezing my hand when I was talking to him," she told CBS News. "I think he heard me."
When Jan tested positive for COVID-19, the care home where he lived didn't send him to the hospital. Staff stopped monitoring his oxygen levels and gave him morphine. He died within days.
"They didn't have any oxygen in the home, so there was nothing that they could do, or were doing, so I think it was better [for them] not knowing how bad his condition was," his daughter said.
"They just gave him morphine, which kills a person after a while," Gluckman said, adding that if she had known at the time that "morphine will kill you, because it takes your breathing away," she never would have accepted it.
Asked how health care professionals could take such decisions — essentially making a call not to treat a patient — Gluckman said authorities in Stockholm seemed to decide early on that they weren't going to treat the elderly, perhaps to keep ICU beds available.
She said without hesitation that she's "lost faith" in both the government's and the public health authorities' handling of the epidemic.

Obs att detta är CBS News och inte från någon trollfabrik i Sankt Petersburg.
Jag tycker såklart att det är bra när man kritiserar den svenska strategin, men när en amerikansk kanal kör något reportage och jämför siffror blir det absurt.
De svenska siffrorna pekar bara åt ett håll, medans de amerikanska år ett helt annat håll.
Skall dom göra uppföljande reportage varje vecka nu då, där siffrorna närmar sig för varje vecka?
Det verkar som att varje land försöker hitta något att jämföra med, som passar bilden man försöker måla upp. Det är ju bara att kolla på FHM, när de jämför med tex Belgien.
På samma sätt kan ju Danmark jämföra med Sverige istället för norge.
