Since November, the country has been unable to ignore a significant spike in coronavirus cases
“Don’t go to gyms, don’t go to libraries, don’t host dinners. Cancel.” These words of warning issued by Prime Minister of Sweden Stefan Löfven marked a dramatic change in the country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Previously, Sweden’s anti-lockdown strategy had been heralded as a victory for common sense by sceptics, with bars and restaurants open for business and people going about their normal lives, social distancing permitting.
As the country’s hospitals reach capacity, all evidence suggests Sweden’s outlandish approach has failed.

ReplyDeleteUK lockdown strategy? A strict lockdown just went into effect a few days ago. Before it was just a pretend lockdown and why you had a spike in cases.
Oh, so now it was a 'pretend' lockdown... Canada had a pretend lockdown too, judging from the spike in cases.
ReplyDeleteWhy rag on Sweden when your own strategy has been a failure?
Ho ho ho, Greece has passed Canada in the deaths/million ranks.
ReplyDeleteGreeks have always been great pretenders.
You're doing it again, PP -- you're implying something I never implied ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course, when we Canadians compare ourselves to the way Americans mishandled the pandemic, then...

It's not "ho ho ho" in Greece but "pp po po."
Shows us what you know about Greece :(

You were the one crowing how well Greece was handling Covid last spring.

Atlantic Canada is more like New Zealand, than the rest of the provinces who clearly mishandled the pandemic. Lets see if our bubble gets burst.
