European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control statistics also show Swedish infections are much lower than most of its neighbours.

Sweden’s relaxed pandemic policy ‘vindicated’ as cases hit new low
By Richard Wood • Senior Journalist, 9News, Sep 16, 2020 (thanks to Martin):
Sweden’s controversial non-lockdown COVID-19 policy appears to be paying off as positive cases hit a new low.While infection rates in other European cases are surging, Sweden recorded a rolling seven-day average of 108 yesterday – its lowest since March.Sweden has reported 5843 pandemic deaths – one of the world’s highest due to a big spike at the start of the pandemic.But figures from the Swedish national health agency showed only 1.2 per cent of its 120,000 tests last week came back positive.
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control statistics also show Swedish infections are much lower than most of its neighbours.The 14-day cumulative total of new cases is 22.2 per 100,000 inhabitants, against 279 in Spain, 158.5 in France and 59 in Britain, which all imposed lockdowns in the northern spring.Despite the encouraging data, it is unclear whether the country is heading towards herd immunity.To establish that, 70 per cent to 90 per cent of Sweden’s 10 million population would have to develop antibodies.One Swedish health official said the current low number of cases was a “vindication” of a relaxed COVID-19 strategy, reports the UK’s Times newspaper.But a study by the UK’s Royal Society of Medicine found that up to May only about 15 per cent of Sweden had become infected and it doubted herd immunity would be achieved.Unlike most countries, Sweden did not go into a lockdown when the pandemic spread across Europe in from March. Instead, there was an emphasis on personal responsibility, with most bars, schools, restaurants and salons remaining open.The approach by the Swedish Government brought international criticism it was too lax as the death toll spiralled earlier this year.Sweden recorded its highest death tally in 150 years for the first half of 2020, according to the country’s official statistics office.Between January and June this year, 51,405 deaths were registered – more than 6500 fatalities (or 15 per cent) over the same period in 2019.Much of the criticism around Sweden’s response has focused on the high death rates in care homes.Sweden’s chief epidemiologist Anders Tegnell admitted in June that the country’s Public Health Agency “didn’t know that there would be such a big potential for the disease to spread in elderly care homes, with so many deaths.”

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN NEWS, Sept. 15 — Sweden will lift its national ban on visits to elderly homes, the government announced on Tuesday.
Introduced on April 1, the ban has been extended several times with the latest extension expiring on Oct. 1. At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Swedish Minister for Health and Social Affairs Lena Hallengren said it would not be extended beyond that date.
The government’s decision is based on an assessment by the National Board of Health and Welfare, which in a press statement pointed out that the general rate of infection, as well as the infection rate at nursing homes around the country, have fallen significantly. Nursing homes are also better equipped now to carry out testing and to handle hygiene routines and other strategies for containing the virus, the statement said.
The Board said its recommendation for lifting the ban was based on an assessment that a long-term halt to visits may have a negative impact on elderly people’s health as they end up feeling isolated and lonely.
In May, the Board published figures which showed that out of the 19,430 Swedes who had tested positive for COVID-19 by April 28, around 40% aged 70 or older, and 90% of those who had died up until that point were beyond 70. Half of them lived in nursing homes and 26% received some form of home care.

The Trump Effect continues. Guyana is right beside Venezuela, and tyrant Maduro is interested in grabbing half of it, because they just discovered oil there. A cooperation agreement with the USA helps protect Guyana, and it also helps Trump further isolate Maduro.

Epidemiologists and virologists have known for almost the entire life of the Covid that the leftist lock downs were of no value in ending the Covid pandemic, as, with few exceptions, all viral epidemics end when a population has attained herd immunity, which the lock downs prevent. Lock downs are all about medical tyranny, not ending the pandemic.

Absolutely true and the sad thing is that Trump got bamboozled into using Fauci as his main consultant. I can only wonder if Trump realized that as an MD specializing in Infectious Disease he is NOT an epidemiologist and had no business advising on this issue. The guy who made the decision to keep Sweden IS an epidemiologist.

Well that is a good point and for all we know no one may have died from CV19 anyway. I have asked most people I know if they know anyone who has died from CV19 and the best that I can get is that they know someone who knows someone who died.

Out of the nearly 6,000 deaths that have occurred, you know that a majority were due to co-morbidities. Results that confirm a much lower rate shows how this virus was a weak flu. There is something to be said of “herd immunity”. Ladies and Gentleman, we’ve been hoodwinked by medical tyranny. My heart goes out to those economically devastated and will never return. Let us hope and pray we’ve learned a valuable lesson.

Rest assured that most people have not learned a lesson. Most people remain terrified of CV19 because they lack the ability to think clearly.

From the very outset, this coronavirus crap has been shrouded in lies and you can prove it to yourself with a simple little two-question test.
First, ask practically anyone if they personally know anyone who has won the lottery and chances are they will say no.
Then ask if they personally know anyone diagnosed with coronavirus. Chances are they will also answer the same. And your chance of having it is also zero.

DEAR FOLKS !
THE GERMAN PCR COVID 19 TEST IS A FAKE !
Unfortunately many millions of these “tests” have been sold worldwide, and at the beginning especially into the US !!!
Unfortunately many questionable German and many foreign “scientists” recommended and many “credulous” politicians bought tens of millions of those “tests”.
Some lawyers in USA and Germany already started a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT against the “INVENTOR” of this test : Mr. Christian Drosten
Christian DROSTEN is a very questionable personality, part of the Bill Gates Circle – already caused a gigantic chaos with the “Swine Influenza
