Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus What makes me think this has been around for years, but the test wasn't used or needed before? I have also pondered this. In such case it could have been mistaken for a regular flu before. It might have mutated since and we are seeing a lightly more deadly version this season. Who really knows at this point. |

Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus Since both UK and Sweden are doing exactly the same there must be valid reasons for this. Maybe to try and quell panic in the population by showing lesser numbers and also steady the markets a little. In addition, they want to free up health workers to concentrate on those getting really sick now. |

So there are more nations realizing the futility in trying to monitor a spread that will be unmitigated anyway. Interesting theories. Probably for psychological reason then. |

Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus Yeah, maybe there is really no practical point trying combat the spread of the virus if it can't be stopped or contained anyway. Sooner or later everyone will have the infection in such case, unless there is a vaccine before it has run it's course. |

Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus Well...one can easily see how talk of "quarantine" and "containment" would lead to immediate logical breakdown and obvious contradiction of Swedistani official policy. So, no other course of action really possible. |

Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus Sweden will instead let the virus run it's course through society and population, and focus on protecting hospital patients. Quoting: JoshM Only people tested from now on are patients who are in so bad condition they require hospitalization. Lack of resources is stated for reason. Don't know of any other nations yet who has made this decision. Thought it was interesting and newsworthy. Link: [link to www.expressen.se (secure)] Link: [link to www.svt.se (secure)] Link: [link to www.svt.se (secure)] In Italy, from the reports I've read every one that walks through the hospital door showing symptoms and gets tested is infected: bilateral interstitial pneumonia every time. Might be that Sweden officials have read those same reports and others most likely. Embrace the cognitive dissonance. |

In addition, they want to free up health workers to concentrate on those getting really sick now. Testing will only make a difference to hospital personel -(who need to be extra cautious). Every patient not hypoxic or moribund and needing admission should be advised to stay at home and self-isolate. A negative or positive test won't mean much for folks who don't need hospitalization--except insofar as to be doubly cautious about insuring no contact with others.

Sweden has officially given up on combating the virus Society needs to be aware of how to protect themselves. Hospitals treat symptoms unless a diagnosis actually changes the treatment. This is the common sense given the fact that the rates of death is similar to the common flu. This obviously from a race of people who rate among the smartest on the planet. |

Since when are they not interested in the spread and level of infectious diseases? Since they don't want you to qualify for disaster aid? Since they want to forestall the complete devastation of the stock market by quelling panic? This disease spread exactly because they sought to minimize the threat. I reject their manipulations, but I'll have no choice because so many of you signed on for the fake reality. |

Supppsedly (can't confirm, no idea WHERE to look) but supposedly China had like 1.2 million extra recorded flu cases late november/december compared to previous years. Assuming true, what does that say about all the potential extra covid19 cases...and the fact they mostly recovered. If true it shits over the infection/death rate even more. I would honestly believe for certain this has been making the rounds longer than people think, and a lot of those fearful of catching it...have likely already HAD it and gotten over it, believing it just the normal cold/flu. |
