Sure, no lockdown worked fine for Sweden, and, yes, maybe the US and other countries did blow up their economies unnecessarily, but, hey, your country is not precisely like Sweden, and therefore doing exactly what your masters tell you is still probably your safest bet.
“We conclude that Sweden is not particularly suited as a reference point for Coronavirus response of other countries”
Lock-down-free mitigations seem to be working in Taiwan, as well, though, even better than in Sweden, in fact.
It is too early to know if Sweden’s approach will pan out.
Get back to us in a year or two.
Country-level statistics are a random and improper way to speak about Covid-19. Every country has clear pockets of both geography and demographics. No politician will ever give you the facts about this, because its not at all politically correct.
Here in the NY State for example, 91% of Covid-19 deaths have been centered on NY City and 4 surrounding counties. Within NY City, you can even drill down to a few hotspots like Bronx and Queens.
NY City and those same 4 counties also account for 44% of ENTIRE USA Covid-19 deaths.
America’s Covid-19 “epidemic” is located in about 5 major urban areas, led by NY City.
Let’s call a spade a spade
Sorry Steve Goldman from Goldman Sachs.
Your arguments are weak. I'm not buying your conclusion.
Bankers giving medical advice?
It is working and it really angers the control freaks.
And Goldman Sachs are just great people.
Why would I listen to the lying scum bags at Goldman or ever consider them an authority on pandemics?
Goldman sucks. And they are experts and qualified to comment on this subject because?
I could not care any less but Goldman sucks has to say about anything.
What people don’t factor into this is that Sweden is a very homogeneous society. This is why their version of socialism works for them.
