Sweden is fucked in many many ways. Covid is not one of them.

They let the crisis go to waste.

Yes, they're going to ignore this.

For some reason, Trump doesn't even bring it up.

I think he's preparing us to handle the potential second wave correctly. Most of this will blow over after the election anyway but if it comes back next year he will make an executive order for HCQ to be sold over the counter and advise people to chill out.

It really fucking pisses me off that were are literally letting people die for a combination of big pharma profits and the orange man bad narrative... But I don't really know how much else he can do, and it's even harder looking back as we didn't have as much information at the time he had to start making choices.

He was right when he first talked about the potential of HCQ, and I thought he was right at the time as well, but we sure as hell didn't know. We had a good reason to expect, but that's not enough for a President to say much more than he did.

It's "science" which has truly failed us, and I'm hoping it's failure will help us stop the destruction of education and policy by left wing extremists... Better this than 50 years from now all our buildings collapse, planes fall out of the sky daily, and our cars explode because we hired engineers based on diversity over competence.

Yes. Because it doesn't fit the agenda of the Dems and their media propagandists. So most Americans have zero clue.

I went to Sweden last year. It's the most boring place in the world next to Finland. It's also pretty rapey.

I literally tell people this daily in real life, they counter with "But Blah Blah Blah Blah CNN talking point Blah blah blah MSNBC talking point". It is no exaggeration like talking to NPC's in a video game. It's not funny, it's fucking scary!

Ive come to grips that we truly do live in a simulation as Elon Musk hypothesized. NPCs are real.

PropagandaWizard1984 3 points ago +3 / -0

The simulation doesn't have the RAM for everyone to be a playable character.

South Dakota and Sweden are the only free places in the world.

Only if we stop ignoring the fact that a European teenage girl was recently killed by stray immigrant gunfire in Sweden recently.

Yeah, I mean what kind of quacks are Brix and Fauci to not even notice this? Why isn't Trump saying it? It needs to be said. Lockdowns and masks do not work.

6
TheRoyalRob 6 points ago +6 / -0

I mean here in my city Daegu, South Korea, it's similar, we had that HUGE spike that started everything outside of China back in February, we never had mandatory anything and nothing ever closed down.

It's crazy to watch what is happening in the states...

Also: Florida never really shut down. It hit them, to be sure - but not nearly as hard as NY (which had a full lock down)

Conclusion: Lock downs don't work.

NY lockdown was hella late though so yeah it didn’t work the way they intended to work.

MaxineWaters4Prez 2 points ago +2 / -0

Eh, I'm in Florida. They shut down beaches for a month, but the mask shit is out of hand. All the major grocery chains mandate masks except Aldi (so far). Small businesses require them.

Schools are pushed back at least 1 month, about half of parents want online class or masked kids.

It's fucked. There's no reason for this.

Sweden is an incredibly free society. The problem is theyve imported 3rd savages that have to be controlled or they rape and kill. Gj on the Coronavirus though

i wonder if they’re using HCQ

Swede here, I looked into it and in an 'independent' medical magazine Läkemedelsvärlden most articles are negative about hcq. They also write that, since April, only doctors with certain specialities can give you hcq.

They seem to push Remdesivir as the only 'allowed' cure. I recently saw an article in a newspaper that said that the EU had bought 25000 doses of Remdesivir for ~2700$ a piece.

2
Kamekaze 2 points ago +2 / -0

I've been looking at countless articles in favor of hcq, if I remember right you can get a whole package of like twice or something for ten bucks. It's cheap. It's generic. Many third world country it's over the counter and many of those same countries haven't been hot nearly as hard. Seems to be mostly a first world problem. It's also coincidentally mostly the first world demonizing hcq. Surel, it's just a coincidence.

It must not be an election year in Sweden.

Whimpy13 3 points ago +3 / -0

Next election is 2022 and the ruling party wants to delay looking into how they handled c19 until after the election. Imho they killed of elders knowingly. In May, only 13% of deaths in elder care homes had been hospitalized. Rumours are they gave them morphine to 'ease their passing' instead.

Sweden has lost .05 percent of its population and has done ZERO. We've lost almost exactly .05 percent of our population and have done a lot to slow the spread. I'm sorry but America and Sweden are 2 totally different places. I personally believe if we take zero measures our cases will sky rocket. Is it really that hard to social distance and wear a mask? Make the kids sit farther apart in the classrooms and open the windows?

disclaimer I am a full blown CONSERVATIVE but the virus is real. I'm confused why we shouldn't be taking steps to slow the spread while still having the economy open. Both can happen at the same time.
