Makes no sense though. If Sweden has a similar population infection rate as its neighbors but. higher death rates what did having lockdown do for everyone else?
But George Floyd was covid positive and was not wearing a mask (I dont think anyway). So was he a part of the privileged problem as well?
This busy body is at it again.
I would say shit show will start in middle of June. As you say, young might be fine but they can pass to their family

Sweden has had a disproportionate number of deaths in long term care homes. The virus appears to be particularly virulent amongst people living in close quarters, and the only countries that have avoided this are the ones that locked down (NZ, Australia, Scandinavia sans Sweden and Iceland).
Sweden's herd planner admit it is a terrible mistake. Surprise... no one.
The key is to lock down in a timely manner. This thread is overrun by Jonny come lateys who weren’t here in Jan/Feb/March but those of us who were remember that the UKs plan was exactly the same as Sweden early on in the pandemic. It was only when the virus started ravaging nursing homes and job sites did they change course and go for a lockdown. Countries that locked down early are now coming out of their lockdowns and have barely lost any lives.Why are the doom mongers still citing Sweden lol?
Professor Neil Ferguson admits he has 'greatest respect' for Sweden
The Imperial College London scientist's modelling of the pandemic heavily influenced the UK's decision to lockdown in March. But his predictions have been heavily criticised.www.dailymail.co.uk
This is from the guy who engineered the lockdown. Sorry doom mongers, the debate is OVER. We destroyed our economies and forced everyone inside their house for nothing.
If saving lives is important, yes it is.

If saving lives is important, yes it is.
If you want to avoid a protracted lockdown with no end in sight, yes it is.
The more half assed you response is, the more likely you are to have a lot of people die and the more likely you are to delay your return to normalcy. A country can’t continue on with business as normal no matter how hard you try to ignore the virus overloading your health care system
Swedens economy will contract 7 percent this year BTW. In line with all of its European neighbours. That Daily Mail article you posted used economic growth numbers from preCOVID.
Sweden had no lockdown but its economy is expected to suffer just as badly as its European neighbors
Sweden has attracted global attention for not imposing a full lockdown, as seen in most of Europe, to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
But their deaths aren’t equal.
Conspiracy theorists rely on the need of individuals to feel special, they go against the norm by using either nit picked scientific points which ignore the entire context or they straight up tell half truths, meaning they make conclusions without proper reasoning. They then pass this off as a theory, most won't even attempt to verify said theory through experimentation and any that do can't have their results duplicated.
Well, peopel in HK nearly 100% wear mask and social distance... in usa, not so much/
From what I'm reading, the lancet retracted the study that concluded "We were unable to confirm a benefit of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine". Because they used data, from a shady Surgisphere, that couldn't be verified by an independent 3rd party. This shows good quality assurance in Science. The actual scientific paper itself is very thorough, but because of faulty data it can't be reliably used for anything. The article did say that they should hold clinical trials to see if said drugs could work though, so they aren't outright saying it's bad, just that it should be tested before anything else, but yeah, shitty data.
Again, I’ll bring up the examples of New Zealand, Australia, Denmark, Finland: countries that locked down early with no hesitation. These countries have virtually no community spread now. Countries that had half assed lockdowns are still worrying about when to open up, but are at least seeing a decline in their numbers (USA, UK, Canada, Iceland). Countries that didn’t lock down (Sweden, Brazil) are not yet seeing a decline in numbers. Not sure what other proof you need. If your country had locked down the way Australia did you would likely be heading toward a full reopening in July (but with closed borders). Instead you’re looking at a never ending limbo and all the angst that comes with it.
There is no doubt lockdown work, the problem is the cost of it
