Swedish Expert: Why Lockdowns Are The Wrong Policy by Kei144(m): 11:58am On Apr 18, 2020 |
Professor Johan Giesecke, one of the world’s most senior epidemiologists, advisor to the Swedish Government (he hired Anders Tegnell who is currently directing Swedish strategy), the first Chief Scientist of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and an advisor to the director general of the WHO, lays out with typically Swedish bluntness why he thinks: UK policy on lockdown and other European countries are not evidence-based The correct policy is to protect the old and the frail only This will eventually lead to herd immunity as a “by-product” The initial UK response, before the “180 degree U-turn”, was better The Imperial College paper was “not very good” and he has never seen an unpublished paper have so much policy impact The paper was very much too pessimistic Any such models are a dubious basis for public policy anyway The flattening of the curve is due to the most vulnerable dying first as much as the lockdown The results will eventually be similar for all countries Covid-19 is a “mild disease” and similar to the flu, and it was the novelty of the disease that scared people. The actual fatality rate of Covid-19 is the region of 0.1% At least 50% of the population of both the UK and Sweden will be shown to have already had the disease when mass antibody testing becomes available https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/04/18/swedish_epidemiologist_johan_giesecke_why_lockdowns_are_the_wrong_policy.html |

Sweden has implemented very lose lockdown policy, with some schools, bars, restaurants still remaining open. There has not been any significant rise in cases unlike countries like Italy, US, UK, etc who have been on complete lockdown yet still reporting higher infection (and death) numbers. --- "People won’t tolerate severe lockdown for more than a month or two, since boredom, isolation, and economic desperation will get overwhelming." |

Bevista: I know for one that the UK death numbers are totally bogus! They're reporting every death as Covid-19 over here.. suddenly no one is dying from the common Flu, Pneumonia, Heart attack etc.. it's all now "Covid". Smh. 1 Like |
