Half of all covid deaths were in nursing homes, or something
But this is exactly what you'd expect given who was actually vulnerable to covid, as well as their unusually good previous few years for flu. Aus at one point had 3/4 being in/from nursing homes. That's who the disease is dangerous too, off course that's where the deaths are, even for places locking everything down.
Also, because they were unique in doing a 'focused protection' and really only doing lockdown stuff for nursing homes (but for relatively brief other stuff) expect to see everyone else's media slamming them for not going full lockdown as hard as they all did. A search for 'sweden' 'covid' 'elderly' 'or whatever is just going to get you slop propaganda criticising them for not locking down harder
Unless you support the lockdowns, in no way did they have a 'failure'
I like how all of you have this vested interest in somehow proving 'me' wrong, whereas you're really arguing with several Swedish authorities themselves who all came to the same conclusion. And an internet search is like five seconds.
I’m going to second everything u/vicious_snek6 said, but I’ll also add that even if you say “Sweden should have much more aggressively protected nursing homes… somehow…” which I don’t agree with, that still doesn’t rise to the level of “pulling a Cuomo,” which would have required them to actively force covid patients into nursing homes in order to intentionally infect the elderly and inflate the death rate.
Just because you seconded everything he said, I'm going to soundly reject every last syllable of his statements, even those that agree with me. ;)
And yes, the Swedish authorities were negligent and very much pulled a Cuomo. Suggesting that the elderly can just leave those elderly homes and find residence elsewhere during a pandemic is ridiculous.
Half of all covid deaths were in nursing homes, or something. Anyway, it's easy to look up. Just search for 'failure' 'protecting' 'elderly' 'sweden'.
