That's gonna go viral :-(
Paul. If you like a bad joke. The World Health Organisation have confirmed that dogs cannot carry the covid disease and can be released from quarantine. Headline. WHO lets the dogs out!
the WHO have said that the virus will affect 1 million people in the next few days. I reckon Sweden's approach is more like STATUS QUO (boom boom)
As Spike Milligan once said "they are so laid back they are falling over"
Morning PaulAim. Do they believe in destiny in Sweden....I'd be surprised at that?
Morning All.
That was certainly the UK's policy, to delay it until early summer.
Sweden's approach seems to be if you are destined to get it you will, regardless. But what I do know is that there is insufficient police to cope with a lockdown and people outside of Stockholm are critical of the approach.
Certainly their health system is far superior to ours but they cannot rely on that with the forthcoming epidemic just around the corner. The predominant spread is East to West followed by North & South
Our government's strategy is to delay the impact as far as possible so that the NHS can cope...they might be better able to cope in Sweden as people are infected in the normal course because they have a much smaller population and possibly better funded hospitals.
Although the virus spread is worldwide the hotspots are, as yet, in a fairly narrow band of latitude, which Sweden and Norway are currently just outside. As the weather gets warmer in these more northern latitudes the virus might become more virulent and widespread. Only time will tell if their strategy is right or they have been lucky, so far. The US seems to have been caught out by a more laissez faire attitude and Trump is now changing his tune. Dominic Cummings is unlikely to be a risk as I suspect no-one went near him anyway! ATB all.
"... imagine if somehow the Swedes got it right and their final death and infection rates were comparable to other developed countries"
Good point and boy would that put the cat amongst the pigeons. If it did happen then this would be a variation on the "herd immunisation" approach in that if you are destined to get it you will.
It would also make scientists re-think how the virus is spread, for example it can be independently air born and does not need water droplets as a taxi
Indeed! The government needs to be held to account - but who will do this?
The whole episode of this Chinese flu virus has been incompetently handled from the very outset. Time will tell who handled the matter correctly - hysteria or the Swedes!
Those gainfully employed are to be protected from the economic ravages of this incompetence, but those relying on past investments, savings and earned pensions are abandoned as share prices collapse and dividends are curtailed. Faced with the prospect of hyper-inflation, social disruption, food shortages, wide-spread mental health issues and a failed over-managed NHS - a dystopic future is the prospect!
UK leadership in the world has caused other nations to follow suite in dealing with this Chinese flu virus resulting in a magnified result of world-wide hysteria that has ignored the critical thinking necessary to deal with the problem. Compare with South Korea and other like-minded societies, in addition to Sweden!
Social media and press sensationalism have destroyed the British stoicism that has got this nation through crisis in the past, replacing it with the hysteria of the mob demanding unconsidered immediate action.
Others will agree with these sentiments but their reasoned voices are howled down by the weight of social media mob rule and the “new journalism” that seeks to create sensational news and hysteria on the basis of speculation rather than investigative established facts!

Writing to your MP might help your mental health in dealing with the frustration of this incompetent governments action but it will achieve little! Perhaps - except draw attention to the “political necessity” of covering up the mistakes they have made should a future enquiry ensue.
Yeah does seem rather at odds with what the rest of the world is doing. Without wishing to minimise the risks associated with CV, I have some sympathy with Donald Trump's comment a week or so ago that we shouldn't make the cure worse than the illness (sic). Governments have done their level best to scare the crrap out of us and, having agreed to massive unheard of amounts of spending, they will want to show that it was all justified, because whatever happens we'll be paying it back long after I'm dead and gone. But just imagine if somehow the Swedes got it right and their final death and infection rates were comparable to other developed countries.
That would leave them in an immensely powerful situation surrounded by a host of bankrupt nations.
Is it any wonder we cannot get a decision when the inaction of the Swedish Government over corona virus is so appalling;
