Outdoors and indoors?

"Has anyone checked on the ‘but what about Sweden’ lads lately? They seem to have gone a bit quiet."

You are right. The 'but what about Sweden' lads have gone a bit quiet lately.

And that's because they realise that Sweden is no different, and they are experiencing a raise in infection cases - just like the rest of Europe.

Sweden's daily infections have risen sharply within 6 weeks:

5 September = 171

14 October = 970

28 October = 3,396

-------------------------------

And they are not doing too well compared to their neighbours who locked down.

28 October daily cases:

Norway = 403

Finland = 217

Sweden = 3,396

--------------------------------

Due to the rise in cases, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has marked Sweden with an 'orange alert'

The rise in infections has also prompted Sweden to introduce local lockdowns in the cities of Uppsala and Malmo - something they have introduced for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

Regarding the local lockdowns, Anders Tegnell Sweden's top epidemiologist said in a recent news conference : “This is the first time we are using this type of guidance and now we will see how effective we can make it.”

Dr Johan Nojd, who leads the infectious diseases department in Uppsala (Sweden), also said: - that if contact tracing shows further links between activities and infections they will not hesitate to impose even tougher measures.

So Sweden, the country reluctant to impose lockdowns earlier, has learnt from its past, and is now adopting the strategy of its European counterparts by introducing local Lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus.

Tegnell said at the beginning that restrictions may have to be imposed going into winter.

"Hi x I don't think people should wear mask think it's adding to the problem only if you are funerable and think it might help "

I’d love to hear your considered scientific view on that.

In my experience I’ve often found when an individual can’t comprehend that wearing a mask offers little protection but does significantly reduce your ability to infect others if you are asymptotic then the argument is slightly flawed. Should they also be unable to spell vulnerable it can also undermine credibility of that statement further.

Isn’t the way you should be thinking about this far more basic... Spain, France, Italy, Germany... or indeed the U.K.... we are in the shit, hospital admissions and deaths are all on the rise. That’s despite what are unprecedented measures taken to try to subdue the virus.

You’ve never once in these forums said what we should do... what’s the answer? I’m sure like the rest of fab I am sat here on tender hooks awaiting the words of genius from Fabs most insightful couple.

Back to the OP: Sweden has for the past week recorded its worst figures throughout the pandemic despite the various measures they have in place plus their unique geographical and population advantages for this pandemic.

Did anyone actually spend a few seconds checking case numbers and death numbers for Sweden?

The death numbers are very low and the case numbers are high.

Could that be because more people in Sweden are being tested?

Could be sweden has one of the highest health spends per person in the world. Could be they killed off a lot of the old and vunerable in the first wave. They are a week or so behind the uk increased infections take a while to lead to increased deaths.

Regarding the local lockdowns, Anders Tegnell Sweden's top epidemiologist said in a recent news conference : “This is the first time we are using this type of guidance and now we will see how effective we can make it.”

Dr Johan Nojd, who leads the infectious diseases department in Uppsala (Sweden), also said: - that if contact tracing shows further links between activities and infections they will not hesitate to impose even tougher measures.

So Sweden, the country reluctant to impose lockdowns earlier, has learnt from its past, and is now adopting the strategy of its European counterparts by introducing local Lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus.

And to add to all this: Sweden has now been removed from the UK's quarantine-free list as of 4 am today.

Travellers returning or arriving from Sweden will be subject to the blanket two-week quarantine policy if they enter the UK after 4am on 7 November.

Can't understand why, they don't have Covid in Sweden ...

Whereas if you’re from Denmark you’re not coming in."

Whereas if you’re from Norway & Finland (Sweden’s next door neighbours) you’re allowed in and you don’t need to quarantine or self isolate.

"Has anyone checked on the ‘but what about Sweden’ lads lately? They seem to have gone a bit quiet.

You are right. The 'but what about Sweden' lads have gone a bit quiet lately.

And that's because they realise that Sweden is no different, and they are experiencing a raise in infection cases - just like the rest of Europe.

Sweden's daily infections have risen sharply within 6 weeks:

5 September = 171

14 October = 970

28 October = 3,396

-------------------------------

And they are not doing too well compared to their neighbours who locked down.

28 October daily cases:

Norway = 403

Finland = 217

Sweden = 3,396

--------------------------------

You’re right (allshewants)

Fab’s greatest virologist always said:

‘What about Sweden ?’

‘Sweden got it right’

‘Sweden’s model is the one to follow’

Sadly we are not hearing from these Fab virologists anymore - now that things have taken a negative turn in Sweden as is highlighted above, plus the recent addition of Sweden to the UK’s travel quarantine red-list.

"....You're right 2 was the the day before yesterday, thirteen is a disaster. They should lock down immediately....."

---------------------------

They have already introduced local lockdowns in the cities of Uppsala and Malmo - in case you didn't know that.

They have introduced local lockdowns for the very first time - something they were reluctant to do earlier in Spring.

And here's why:

Their daily infection rates:

5 September = 171

14 October = 970

28 October = 3,396

4 November = 4,497

As you can see, their cases are rising sharply. The deaths may seem low for now, but as cases rise, it will ultimately lead to higher death figures.

Sweden has learnt lessons from their high death toll during the first wave ( the highest among the Nordics). They are not prepared to wait till the death toll runs into hundreds a day before they take action.

So this time round, they have decided to follow the strategy of their European counterparts - which is to introduce local lockdowns to reduce the spread of the virus, which will in turn keep the death figures low.

"........ I’m not surprised they survived without a lock down....."

----------------------------------

They didn't do well without a lockdown though.

Among the Nordic countries, they have the highest number of infections and the worst death per capita.

They also stand at # 17 out of 195 countries in covid deaths per capita. Currently their daily infections are highest in the Nordics.

This has caused them to make a shift from the 'no lockdown strategy' and now they are doing what other European countries have been doing all along. They are now implementing local lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus which is rising exponentially in some of their cities.

I don’t think they are rude as such, they just don’t see the value in small talk etc.

I’ve worked with a few Scandinavians and they have tended to be reasonably warm people in my experience but just at the appropriate times. It’s different but I see them more as people who only talk when they have something to say, which is alien to extroverts but I find it quite refreshing.

Yes, Sweden's strategy has been wrong from the beginning.

Tegnell predicted Sweden would have a "high level of immunity" and a low number of cases during a second wave. He was wrong about that too.

Cases are rising sharply; rising far much more than in Norway and Finland - who locked down.

They are slowly changing tact. They now realise that the original 'no lockdown strategy' was a failure. So they have now introduced local lockdowns in some cities with very high infections. Stricter restrictions have also been imposed in 17 of 21 regions by their Public Heath agency.

"If lockdown ends on 2 December, will I be able to travel to Sweden and when I get there move around freely without having self isolate in a hotel there which I have to pay for? I don't care about self isolation back in the UK. "

They've stopped giving free hotel rooms? Profiteering plain and simple lol

Yes, Sweden's strategy has been wrong from the beginning.

The Swedish government should seek advice from fab epidemiologysts perhaps

"Despite increasing fears around a second wave of coronavirus, Prime Minister Mr Lofven has insisted a national lockdown is not required to curb the accelerating spread of infections and that the current restrictions in place are sufficient.

He added the new "tough" coronavirus measures are the most invasive in Sweden in “modern times”.

Mr Lofven said: "We don't believe in a total lockdown.

"We believe that the measures we have taken are appropriate."

"....He added the new "tough" coronavirus measures are the most invasive in Sweden in “modern times..."

---------------------------------

Ahh, so they've finally woken up to realise that 'tough' measures are needed to curb the spread of the virus. Tough measures - which if they had been implemented in Spring would have saved a lot more lives.

Ah well, better late than never as they say.

Those tough measures consist of reducing the number of people gathering from 50 to 8 in public places. It doesn’t apply to private gatherings.

The other tough measures consist of recommendations to avoid public transport and shops.

**"...Those tough measures consist of reducing the number of people gathering from 50 to 8 in public places. It doesn’t apply to private gatherings.

-----------------------------

And all what you have just said above, elaborates and confirms what I said earlier, and that is: Sweden is taking 'Tougher Measures' to curb the spread of the virus.

And why do you think they are taking these 'Tougher Measures'??

Because Sweden is experiencing a Second Wave. Something which you and some others seem to be in denial about.

So tougher not tough "

Tough - Tougher - Toughest = all derived from the same word : Tough

Climate, geography population density, travel,

human behaviour and probably most important similar age profile.

Another example might be- what’s the most compatible country to compare the UK with-

For me it’s Japan

Population density, island, inter connectivity with other countries ... Japan had an aging population though.
