Totally agree. Some of it I think is born of fear and them desperately trying to find a reason that they think is more within their control than a virus that they are powerless against. However a lot of it is trolls and people that are already predisposed to be anti authority regardless of what's being asked. As for some of the "science" they are using its farcical. If they actually understood the field they are commenting on, they would realise how insane they sound. But alas, they love to think they have found the "truth" that the rest of us had missed.

Science is science however policy is built on modelling which certainly isn’t science and is open to questioning.

Based on studies over many years so would be as accurate as it can be. All designed to avoid 0.5million deaths

And it’s that very imperial college modelling that predicted 500,000 deaths that is questionable.

The same one that predicted almost 100,000 deaths for Sweden when they didn't lockdown the facts are there was less then 6000.

Oh and they are now seeing no rise in Swedens infection rate unlike their neighbours Denmark who did lockdown.

I'll take facts over opinions anytime.

Watch this video below if you want to see a lot of the actual data out there reviewed and not just baseless theory and modeling.

There is a very big hole in that whole thing, we are not Sweden. So what worked for them, probably won't work for us. Due to size of the country, mindset of the people and also population spread can change things dramatically.

I would never have believed... that during a pandemic 80% of people with symptoms would fail to self isolate to protect others.

Did it work for Sweden? They had more covid fatalities than all their neighbours combined.

41,000 covid deaths. 7% of population have had covid which is about 1/10th of the number required for her immunity. Let it run it's course and you get 410,000 deaths. That's a not a bad estimate especially when more recent deaths have been reduced due to alternative methods of treatment. Also, we really don't know the exact covid deaths but excess deaths push the figure higher than 41k.

Finally, someone else who understands the “model” is just very basic maths and results in a very large number

Good point, Sweden may well have fared better, however they're community behaviour is very different from ours.

Although they didn't lock down they still put voluntary social distancing measures in place which the population adhered to, largely without question. Try that here and see what happens.

Whereas I am surprised the length that people will go to full on Pravda to try and make a point........

It’s like state media trying to prove people wrong.......

P.s notice it’s only the countries that dealt with the virus badly that harp on about Sweden....

Now if we treated it seriously like Japan, or South Korea or New Zealand..... hmmmmmmmm

This is like pulling teeth. I’m talking about the modelling. The only reason Sweden comes into it is because Sweden is the one country that rejected the imperial college modelling and their figures provide evidence that the imperial college modelling is questionable to say the least.

Other modellers had warned imperial, notably Oxford university, that their modelling appeared to be out by around 10 fold. The Sweden figures seem to support oxfords analysis.

Did the model take into account that people might self isolate? Because it is well documented that many Swedes had the good sense to social distance without needing it to be passed in to law.

This is a bit like science saying if you get caught in a thunderstorm you'll get wet.

In walks someone with a brolly and a raincoat who is perfectly dry leading us to conclude that rain does not in fact make one wet and the scientists were wrong.

From a report discussing the Covid situation in Sweden.

"Most of the changes involved voluntary actions by citizens, rather than rules imposed by the government.

This trust given to the population to shoulder personal responsibility in the pandemic puts Sweden at odds with most other countries that used coercive measures such as fines to force compliance.

This is often attributed to a Swedish model of governance, where large public authorities comprised of experts develop and recommend measures that the smaller ministries are expected to follow. In other words, the people trust the experts and scientists to develop reasonable policies, and the government trusts the people to follow the guidelines.

Swedes were asked to work from home when possible and maintain a social distance, and most willingly complied. While people now ride public transportation without masks, there are also far fewer people commuting than before."

Also in this report references to certain restrictions that were in place but are never mentioned. Gatherings were capped at 50 and congregating in bars was banned.

The modelling predicted 96,000 deaths with no mitigation. It predicted 15% less if the did their current policy and a 50% reduction if they did a full European style lockdown.

Their current figures seem to reflect the Oxford modelling not the imperial college modelling.

Next year’s boat race should be a cracker.

the Imperial model was called out as utter pants by lots of other modellers right from the get go, the guy has a history as long as your arm of getting this modelling completely skewed, if it was a mistake you'd expect his old past models to be wrong both ways but it's only ever skewed towards Doom and disaster, probably his un-conscious bias
