A country whose coronavirus strategy has been ridiculed in the rest of the world would possibly have the last word after recording an average of only one death consistent with the day.
Unfortunately, Sweden has chosen to forget about the orders for heavy blockades and has kept schools, bars and restaurants open to the pandemic to the maximum.
While Sweden recorded 5843 coronavirus deaths overall, making it one of the highest in the world due to a massive spike at the beginning of the pandemic, the moving average is now negligible. Deaths have been in bachelor numbers since mid-July.
Australia, on the other hand, has recorded a total of 788 deaths, most of which have occurred since mid-July, when it hit Victoria’s moment wave.
Currently, the country has a 15 to 20 deaths consistent with the day.
A fitness official was quoted as saying it was a “justification” for Sweden’s debatable strategy, but other virus observers are less convinced that Sweden is a model.

COVID-19 cases in Sweden peaked on June 24 with 1,698 infections, according to knowledge compiled through Johns Hopkins University in the United States. Deaths reached 115 compared to the day over several days in April.
By contrast, neighboring Denmark, which had a much stricter lockdown, experienced only a peak of 390 and 22 deaths.
However, Denmark, like many other European countries, has noticed cases again; however, infections in Sweden remained at around two hundred per day for several months; that’s still a lot, but it’s a massive drop from where they were and, above all, it’s solid and doesn’t seem to cause many deaths.
Daily deaths reached exclusive numbers in mid-July and have not resumed since then. Only one death consistent with the day has a normal occurrence.
Some now brazenly say that the explanation may simply be because Swedes are immune to the virus.
“Nice stay”
Epidemiologist and director of Swedish public fitness firm Johan Carlson said the country’s citizens can gain advantages by not staying home on the first wave.
“Our strategy is coherent and sustainable. We probably have a lower threat of spread [of the virus] than other countries. “
A fitness official said it was a “justification” for a non-intrusive COVID-19 strategy, the British Times reported.
By some estimates, up to 30% of Swedes may have been inflamed with COVID-19, and most would have recovered.
However, studies through the Royal Society of Medicine in the UK found that as of May, about 15% of Swedes were inflamed and doubted that collective immunity could be obtained.
Sometime in the early stages of the pandemic, 19% of Swedes who took the test test test tested positive for the virus. Today, despite 120,000 tests a week, a figure similar to that of New South Wales, just over one consistent with one percent are positive. .
Deaths in line with the population have declined lately than those of many of its neighbours, although it should be noted that the total of 5842 coronavirus deaths in Sweden still places it among the 10 most sensitive countries with the worst mortality rates.

Sweden’s chief epidemiologist, Dr. Anders Tegnell, has created and directed a national strategy opposed to COVID-19.
Most schools and all reception spaces can remain open. When Australians were banned from having a beer at a bar, Stockholmers enjoyed an aperitif with their friends.
This is not to say that there were no restrictions on the country’s 10 million citizens, people were not allowed to move into nursing homes, register for giant gatherings, and Swedes were encouraged to move socially, which they did almost as much as everyone else.
“As a society, we are more attractive: continually reminding others to use measures, measures we see day after day that they want to adjust,” Dr. Tegnell told Journal Nature in May.

STILL HESITATING SWEDEN
Dr. Tegnell said the pre-Sweden vaccine to combat COVID-19 is more sustainable and preferable to closures and reopening, which he described as “disastrous in many ways. “
However, the technique has not been well received by all, as thousands of people have died in nursing homes.
The editor-in-chief of the Medical Journal of Au stral ia, Dr. Nick Talley, told news. com. au that Swedish style had been a failure.
“In my opinion, the Swedish style has been a success, at least to date,” he told news. com. au.
“One of the main points in the failure of voluntary technique has been the spread of infection in the homes of the elderly. Other young people also appear to have been the least likely to replace their behavior, possibly contributing to the spread of the community.
“Normally, the economy has not been stored from shrinkage to focus. I am not convinced that the Swedish style is more successful here in Australia, and probably if the compliance with the voluntary recommendations were less, the effects would be worse” use of the mask in Sydney, which is voluntary but highly recommended.

Professor Peter Collignon, an infectious disease expert at the National University of Australia, said neither a strict blocking technique nor a more laissez-faire attitude would be the ideal technique for living with COVID-19.
“In my opinion, neither the New Zealand technique nor the Swedish technique is the striker,” he said news. com. au last month.
“The challenge with Sweden is that it has many deaths; the challenge with New Zealand is that elimination is difficult to achieve.
“What’s in New South Wales with the search for contacts and the prevention of spread is more like what we’re going to have to do in the coming years. “
Even Dr. Tegnell of Sweden has opposed pointing to Sweden as a success, for now. It may be necessary until next year to see if the technique is correct, he said.
