I Looked Up What Happened When Sweden Refused To Shut Down - They Were Right, We Were Wrong

Sweden did it.
The Nordic country defeated C****-** without seeming to break a sweat — fever-induced or otherwise. They effectively showed that F***i & Co. were completely wrong about a shutdown being necessary to save civilization as we know it.
While that accomplishment should be lauded and their efforts duplicated around the world, the media has instead chosen to blast the Nordic state and paint a dismal picture that simply doesn’t exist.
A few examples (among many, many others) are below:
CBS News declared: “Sweden becomes an example of how not to handle C****-**.” Similarly, the University of Virginia Health System issued a news release titled: “Lack of Lockdown Increased C****-** Deaths in Sweden.”
Taking a stab at prognostication, Newsweek said: “Sweden C****-** Deaths Linked to Failure to Lockdown as Country Prepares for Second Wave.” Always eager to bravely embrace the status quo, The New York Times ran a piece headlined: “Sweden Tries Out a New Status: Pariah State.”
Finally, Business Insider reported: “Sweden’s c****av***s death toll is now approaching zero, but experts are warning others not to hail it as a success.”
It’s all awfully prickly from a l*****t media that used to adore Sweden’s welfare state. The reason for the barbed headlines is simple — Sweden dealt with C****-** in its own way.
The country didn’t truckle to the tyranny of over-educated, under-experienced experts. It didn’t implement authoritarian policies designed as much to break spirits as to break the p******c. And it didn’t turn its v**ers into quasi-prisoners.
In other words, Sweden responded more or less the way the rest of the developed world has responded to contagious diseases until 2020, which just happens to also be President Donald Trump’s re-e******n year.
What were Sweden’s results?
Well, first let’s consider American results brought to us courtesy of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony F***i, the establishment media, government officials around the country and legions of panic-prone and morally superior “Karens.”
All around the country, the U.S. tried just about every imaginable combination of mask, lockdown, quarantine, curfew and closures orders — up to and including literally refusing entry across some state lines to certain fellow Americans.
The results were, well, not what anyone wanted. As of Saturday, the U.S. c****av***s death rate was 3.35 new deaths per million per day (based on a seven-day rolling average), which ranks as the 11th worst rating on the planet, according to Our World in Data.
Fatality Rates Show How Wrong the Media's C***D Narrative Really Is
And remember, thanks in large part to the Andrew Cuomo nursing home/death camp model of v***s containment, New York state accounts for more than a fifth of all U.S. C****-** deaths, according to Johns Hopkins data. So we’re probably getting d**gged down a little in the ratings by the disproportionate number of deaths in that state.
What else has America’s scattershot, but mostly heavy-handed, response yielded? If you read The Wall Street Journal, you will learn it led to anywhere between 30 million and 40 million lost jobs. (Some of those workers have no doubt been rehired as parts of the economy reopen, but millions more haven’t. And economists don’t really know how many of those job losses are permanent.)
So we destroyed constitutional rights, shed a few dozen million jobs and watched tens of thousands of people die. Oh, and we turned Americans against each other, all the way from the state to family levels.
But at least gross domestic product didn’t take it too hard, right? Not exactly. Commerce Department numbers released Thursday revealed that the U.S. economy shrank by a record 32.9 percent last quarter in what Bloomberg called the “sharpest downturn since at least the 1940s.”
So what about those rebellious Swedes? The ones who refused to play ball with all-knowing scientists and a ridiculously tunnel-visioned medical establishment?
While much of the rest of the developed world drowned themselves in hand sanitizer, locked ankle monitors onto their citizens and bought super cute masks on Etsy, the stalwart Swedes pressed on.
They lived their lives.
They didn’t mandate masks. They didn’t turn into NKVD-aspiring Karens, eager to publicly shame or quietly narc on neighbors, friends and family who dared bare an uncovered nostril.
Sweden defied the (dare we say) scientific consensus and has performed exceedingly well compared to the U.S.
As of Saturday, Sweden had registered 0.65 deaths per million per day, based on a seven-day rolling average.
Trading Economics projects a second-quarter GDP change of -4.2 percent (and a third-quarter growth of 2.4 percent). Depending on your preferred method of calculation, we could casually say that’s 7.8 times better than what the U.S. saw last quarter.
As of June 18, Statista forecast a 2.6 percent drop in Sweden’s employment rate for 2020. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, meanwhile, reported unemployment in the U.S. shot up 11.2 percentage points from 3.5 percent in February to 14.7 percent in April, before dropping a bit to 13.3 percent in May and 11.7 percent in June as parts of the economy reopened.
Now we’re not going to be like the dogmatic pro-mask Stasi here. There are lots of factors that impact the difference between U.S. and Swedish outcomes. We can’t say with 100 percent certainty that Sweden’s refusal to lock down saved their economy or is responsible for the miraculously low death rate.
But it would also be foolish to say that the decision didn’t play some role in the different outcome.
We can all learn two significant lessons from how C****-** responses have played out in the U.S. versus Sweden.
First, it is clear that the expert class in America whom the left appeals to at every turn (aren’t you s**k of hearing “scientists say” or “experts find”?) is worth substantially less than we pay them.
We’ve spent literally trillions of dollars as a result of this v***s and have only managed to buy our own personal hell.
Second, Sweden succeeded using an approach that left people free. The response they got from the U.S. media complex, however, wasn’t celebration and an urge toward duplication. It was derision and aspersion.
That betrays what lays at the heart of everything C****-**-related.
In America, C****-** has never been first and foremost a v***s to fight. It has instead been a tool that the left, anti-Trumpers and the establishment could use to mercilessly kick Americans in our collective groin.
With C****-**, the left finally found a chink in Trump’s armor. The left knew exploiting it was vital, and they knew that Americans would have to suffer if they wanted to succeed.
As America continues to languish economically even as deaths drop, remember to thank the left for that.
And when you walk into that v****g booth on Tuesday, Nov. 3, remember to pay the left back for the hell they’ve just put us through — pay them back by v****g for Donald J. Trump.

Published by F. Norrestad, Jul 29, 2020
Sweden experienced the highest number of confirmed c****av***s cases among the Nordic countries in 2020. Compared to its neighboring countries, Sweden has taken less drastic measures to prevent the spread of the c****av***s. While the other Nordic countries were closing down, Sweden kept its borders open for other members of the European Union. Schools for younger children, restaurants, shops, and bars remained open while the other Nordic countries applied lockdowns. The cumulative number of cases in the country had reached around 79.4 thousand as of July 28, while in Denmark, the Nordic country with the second highest number of cases, had around 13.5 thousand as of this date. Finland, Norway and Iceland had case numbers below ten thousand at the end of July.

The highest number of confirmed c****av***s (C****-**) deaths in the Nordic countries as of July 31, 2020 was in Sweden, where the number amounted to 5,743. Denmark followed with 615 c****a-related deaths, Finland with 329, and Norway with 255.
Sweden was also the Nordic country with the highest number of people confirmed infected with the c****av***s, reaching a total of 80,422 cases as of July 31, 2020. More statistics and facts about the v***s are available here.
Quite frankly I for one am not concerned about Sweden, or any other country. I reside in the the good old USA and worry about the direction this country is going.
If the country has a Democratic or Republican President, that person has to rely on whoever they pick for advisors.
My advice: pray for whoever is running this country that they pick the person(s) that God wants to give them advice.

The highest number of confirmed c****av***s (C****-**) deaths in the Nordic countries as of July 31, 2020 was in Sweden, where the number amounted to 5,743. Denmark followed with 615 c****a-related deaths, Finland with 329, and Norway with 255.
Sweden was also the Nordic country with the highest number of people confirmed infected with the c****av***s, reaching a total of 80,422 cases as of July 31, 2020. More statistics and facts about the v***s are available here.

I Looked Up What Happened When Sweden Refused To Shut Down - They Were Right, We Were Wrong

Sweden did it.
The Nordic country defeated C****-** without seeming to break a sweat — fever-induced or otherwise. They effectively showed that F***i & Co. were completely wrong about a shutdown being necessary to save civilization as we know it.
While that accomplishment should be lauded and their efforts duplicated around the world, the media has instead chosen to blast the Nordic state and paint a dismal picture that simply doesn’t exist.
A few examples (among many, many others) are below:
CBS News declared: “Sweden becomes an example of how not to handle C****-**.” Similarly, the University of Virginia Health System issued a news release titled: “Lack of Lockdown Increased C****-** Deaths in Sweden.”
Taking a stab at prognostication, Newsweek said: “Sweden C****-** Deaths Linked to Failure to Lockdown as Country Prepares for Second Wave.” Always eager to bravely embrace the status quo, The New York Times ran a piece headlined: “Sweden Tries Out a New Status: Pariah State.”
Finally, Business Insider reported: “Sweden’s c****av***s death toll is now approaching zero, but experts are warning others not to hail it as a success.”
It’s all awfully prickly from a l*****t media that used to adore Sweden’s welfare state. The reason for the barbed headlines is simple — Sweden dealt with C****-** in its own way.
The country didn’t truckle to the tyranny of over-educated, under-experienced experts. It didn’t implement authoritarian policies designed as much to break spirits as to break the p******c. And it didn’t turn its v**ers into quasi-prisoners.
In other words, Sweden responded more or less the way the rest of the developed world has responded to contagious diseases until 2020, which just happens to also be President Donald Trump’s re-e******n year.
What were Sweden’s results?
Well, first let’s consider American results brought to us courtesy of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony F***i, the establishment media, government officials around the country and legions of panic-prone and morally superior “Karens.”
All around the country, the U.S. tried just about every imaginable combination of mask, lockdown, quarantine, curfew and closures orders — up to and including literally refusing entry across some state lines to certain fellow Americans.
The results were, well, not what anyone wanted. As of Saturday, the U.S. c****av***s death rate was 3.35 new deaths per million per day (based on a seven-day rolling average), which ranks as the 11th worst rating on the planet, according to Our World in Data.
Fatality Rates Show How Wrong the Media's C***D Narrative Really Is
And remember, thanks in large part to the Andrew Cuomo nursing home/death camp model of v***s containment, New York state accounts for more than a fifth of all U.S. C****-** deaths, according to Johns Hopkins data. So we’re probably getting d**gged down a little in the ratings by the disproportionate number of deaths in that state.
What else has America’s scattershot, but mostly heavy-handed, response yielded? If you read The Wall Street Journal, you will learn it led to anywhere between 30 million and 40 million lost jobs. (Some of those workers have no doubt been rehired as parts of the economy reopen, but millions more haven’t. And economists don’t really know how many of those job losses are permanent.)
So we destroyed constitutional rights, shed a few dozen million jobs and watched tens of thousands of people die. Oh, and we turned Americans against each other, all the way from the state to family levels.
But at least gross domestic product didn’t take it too hard, right? Not exactly. Commerce Department numbers released Thursday revealed that the U.S. economy shrank by a record 32.9 percent last quarter in what Bloomberg called the “sharpest downturn since at least the 1940s.”
So what about those rebellious Swedes? The ones who refused to play ball with all-knowing scientists and a ridiculously tunnel-visioned medical establishment?
While much of the rest of the developed world drowned themselves in hand sanitizer, locked ankle monitors onto their citizens and bought super cute masks on Etsy, the stalwart Swedes pressed on.
They lived their lives.
They didn’t mandate masks. They didn’t turn into NKVD-aspiring Karens, eager to publicly shame or quietly narc on neighbors, friends and family who dared bare an uncovered nostril.
Sweden defied the (dare we say) scientific consensus and has performed exceedingly well compared to the U.S.
As of Saturday, Sweden had registered 0.65 deaths per million per day, based on a seven-day rolling average.
Trading Economics projects a second-quarter GDP change of -4.2 percent (and a third-quarter growth of 2.4 percent). Depending on your preferred method of calculation, we could casually say that’s 7.8 times better than what the U.S. saw last quarter.
As of June 18, Statista forecast a 2.6 percent drop in Sweden’s employment rate for 2020. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, meanwhile, reported unemployment in the U.S. shot up 11.2 percentage points from 3.5 percent in February to 14.7 percent in April, before dropping a bit to 13.3 percent in May and 11.7 percent in June as parts of the economy reopened.
Now we’re not going to be like the dogmatic pro-mask Stasi here. There are lots of factors that impact the difference between U.S. and Swedish outcomes. We can’t say with 100 percent certainty that Sweden’s refusal to lock down saved their economy or is responsible for the miraculously low death rate.
But it would also be foolish to say that the decision didn’t play some role in the different outcome.
We can all learn two significant lessons from how C****-** responses have played out in the U.S. versus Sweden.
First, it is clear that the expert class in America whom the left appeals to at every turn (aren’t you s**k of hearing “scientists say” or “experts find”?) is worth substantially less than we pay them.
We’ve spent literally trillions of dollars as a result of this v***s and have only managed to buy our own personal hell.
Second, Sweden succeeded using an approach that left people free. The response they got from the U.S. media complex, however, wasn’t celebration and an urge toward duplication. It was derision and aspersion.
That betrays what lays at the heart of everything C****-**-related.
In America, C****-** has never been first and foremost a v***s to fight. It has instead been a tool that the left, anti-Trumpers and the establishment could use to mercilessly kick Americans in our collective groin.
With C****-**, the left finally found a chink in Trump’s armor. The left knew exploiting it was vital, and they knew that Americans would have to suffer if they wanted to succeed.
As America continues to languish economically even as deaths drop, remember to thank the left for that.
And when you walk into that v****g booth on Tuesday, Nov. 3, remember to pay the left back for the hell they’ve just put us through — pay them back by v****g for Donald J. Trump.

Squid, What about New York City? They went from worst to best by shutting down. Europe shut down and they are far lower than us, because we reopened much too early. Even China has much lower c***d19 than us. Brazil hasn't shut down and they are in deep sh*t. Eventually we will have to shut down if we don't want to see a few more hundred thousand deaths, or more. Then we will see a major depression, all because Trump thinks that changing his strategy shows weakness. It takes strength to admit a mistake, not weakness. Being a sociopath, Trump doesn't give a tinkers damn about human life, just his own monstrous ego.

Europe is seeing a resurgance of cases (even though they banned U.S. travelers). India is ready to surpass us and their rate continues to increase.
None of the medical experts are sure about what to do. There is still a lot that is unknown about the v***s. It was China that unleashed this on the world and don't forget it. Anyone who thinks they have all the answers is only fooling themself and everyone who believe them.

More in absolute numbers, but not as a percentage of the population. On average, The USA has less deaths per million population than does Sweden. You can highlight whichever statistics you like to fool people about what is really happening. The media does this with every news report because they don't put things in proper context for their audiences, and the audience doesn't think critically to consider asking the right questions of the media. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics!
