january 13.

never locked down sweden    deaths.

its nordic neighbour,   rich denmark with far less migrants     deaths


the UK,  locked down for the third time,traditional country pubs closed for 6 months and 50 % saying they will never re open, gyms, closed, construction closed in many places
deaths


why do lockdowns continue with such devestating death tolls?
why are people being locked indoors to infect one another when

personal responsibility and virtually no regulations saves lives.

why have governments allowed covid fatigue to set in and allowed the immune systems of their citizens to be demolished by fear mongering and anxiety producing morons at the helm.

3 deaths sounds much better than the United Kingdom

You say they are tightening restrictions

Can you name 1 gymnasium
1 restaurant
1 hairdresser
1 tourist operator
1 coffee shop

That has been required by the government to close for 1 minute

I bet you can't say the same about all the other failed States in Europe

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden, whose unorthodox pandemic strategy placed it in the global spotlight, reported a record number of COVID-19 deaths for a single day on Thursday, taking the total toll above 10,000, although new infections appear to be easing.

The country of 10 million inhabitants registered 351 more deaths since Wednesday, statistics from the Public Health Agency showed, and reported 6,580 new coronavirus cases, with the daily number trending lower since late December.

Some 10,185 people have now died in Sweden from COVID-19 since the pandemic began, it said.

Thanks Bobby,
something doesnt add up.

yet
John Hopkins is reporting 167 deaths in Sweden for Jan 13 ?

It's actually quite laughable that Aqua is sitting here in Australia where he is sheltered from covid-19 thanks to the tough measures taken here.
Yet he is spruiking the policies of Sweden claiming they didn't have a lockdown (which is a myth, they had an unofficial lockdown) from half a world away.
Aqua is like a naive teenager who has been sheltered from the real world, whinging because he isn't getting his own way

Indeed. We did fantastic, so why didn't we do better.

incorrect.

we have caused generational harm.

when a challenge occurs (in this case covid),  you take on the challenge (like sweden) in which case you build your courage or you shrink away from the confrontation (in this case australia) and you seek safety .

in the second case (australia) you are teaching people to hide from danger , like a frightened bunny rabbit.

maybe you think its good if australians behave like scared bunny rabbits and quiver in their burrows.

i think its a psychological catastrophe from which we may not recover

it leads to 'risk aversion"

success, entrepreneurship, success, initiative...all rely on bravely confronting stressors with a 'spirit of adventure"

the official European Union statistics agency, and the University of Oxford, shows that Sweden recorded 7.9% excess deaths last year compared to the years 2016-19, according to the independent health news site Dagens Medicin.

That means that the country had the 23rd lowest annual excess deaths out of 30 European countries -- lower than the U.K. (15.1%), France (10.4%) and Spain (18.9%). Sweden also has a lower number of coronavirus deaths per million than those countries, all of which have gone under strict lockdowns during the pandemic. Pointing to the recent excess mortality studies, Nils Karlson, an economist and political scientist who jointly wrote an op-ed last year in Foreign Affairs entitled “Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Will Soon Be the World’s,” is more optimistic.

“There was some recent figures showing that if you count excess mortality, Sweden is one of the best countries in Europe,” he told ABC News.

Scoot is still making poo up to help him hold onto what he believes rather than what is reality.

I get the forced mask wearing throughout QLD at the moment is making his pea brain explode.

Wonder how Sweden (and the rest of the world when it inevitably spreads) will deal with this one?

if we had let the milder version that DIDNT affect kids sweep the nation 9 months ago, they would now have immunity.

thanks to our reprehensible bed wetting, we will now , quite possibly have a more deadly virus sweep thru a virgin population.

our cowardice may well cost the lives of our kids.

disgusting.


when confronted with a threat, you face it head on.
you dont hide like a cowering rabbit

or you get eaten.

Herd immunity is also pretty difficult to arrange, except by vaccinations.

i'm all for vaccinations.

not at the snails pace australia is rolling it out.

have a drive thru like at maacas, jab and then sit in a car park for 30 minutes.
then off you go.

at the current australian rate, you are encouraging mutations and then you need to create a new jab and rinse and repeat.

not a concern.

we do that for the flu.

but this is now going to be with us , porbably forever.

so this idea of fortress australia is a crock of shiiiit.

people are going to have to accept some infections and hospitals are going to have to accept some admissions and you cant have the ludicrous situation, like you currently have in brisbane of the biggest hospital not taking on sick patients with a multitiude of other conditions just because of covid fear.


reduce the numbers (just like we do with the road toll), pat ourselves on the back, resume normal life and accept our mortality.

no more talk of the "catastrophic death of someone from covid'

unless you want to be talking catastrophies for eternity .

and , in 6 months, tear down the borders, open the airports and get on with "human flourishing"

aquascoot wrote on Apr 5^th, 2021 at 10:54am:
you seem confused, the idea was always to isolate Australia until we are vaccinated. No one has touted locking Australia up forever. You are following a very common path of making stuff up and inventing strawmen when your previous statements are challenged. So far you have claimed that somehow we get to choose which variant of Covid affects us and now you are inventing  a lockdown policy which doesnt exist.

Herd immunity is BS unless theres a vaccine that offers immunity and lots of ppl get it. Most of the vaccines dont even offer immunity. Even if it wasnt a fairy tale how many ppl would have to die to achieve it?

And horseboy bleats about herd immunity—to one variant of the virus.

True, but hand washing/sanitising, social distancing, mask wearing indoors in public areas do slow and restrict the spread of disease. I do sanitise my hands and fill in the register in places that have them. Must get that app downloaded, speed things up.

I think soap is more effective than hand wash liquid. I bought a packet of soap and hunted up all the scented/hippy type soaps in the house. I use hand wash now tho—no soap scum.
