The lock down tactics were absolutely spot-on, although the overall strategy has been less than adequate because of our over reliance on extended supply chains, especially to China. The lock downs were initiated for two things: to ensure the medical services were not overwhelmed and to flatten the curve in general to give time to develop a vaccine.
Right, but did he actually change the current policy to this middle ground? I don't think so. Maybe that's what they will do come fall.Tegnell in Sweden's state radio, early june:
Should we come across the same disease with exactly the knowledge we have today, I think we would have made a middle ground between what Sweden has done and what the rest of the world has done.
Yes, I think that there is clearly an improvement potential in what we have done in Sweden. And it is good to know more precisely what to close down to prevent the spread of infection better.
Quarantine and lockdown only work in authoritarian countries. I throw Singapore in that lot. Democratic countries that don't have a government that can shoulder and/or nationalize all industries cannot cope with such a tactic.
And does it even help? Beijing is still trying to contain their latest outbreak and they happily post guards and set up checkpoints to pen in and herd their sheep. And that was at an outdoor market - which the rest of the world and the WHO says is the healthiest setting.
Is that because social distancing isn't taking place, or lockdown conditions ended too early?
One of the hardest hit regions in the UK, outside of London, is Merseyside and the Wirral. I'm still trying to grapple with the why, considering the lockdown. My aunty had it, was in hospital for 4 weeks and is now back in with it.

Official: German slaughterhouse virus outbreak untenable
Germany's agriculture minister said Thursday that conditions at a slaughterhouse where hundreds of workers tested positive for COVID-19 were untenable and backed an official investigation into the outbreak.medicalxpress.com
Now it's about 1k positive tests out of 3k total. 24 are in hospital. After at least 5 months of the virus circulating, with at least 2-3 months with no protective measures whatsoever (there is video evidence from April). Close everything down, it's a deadly pandemic!!!
I'm assuming it's too late for any changes to policies. So more of healthy reflection, of lessons learned, that could have saved lives.Right, but did he actually change the current policy to this middle ground? I don't think so. Maybe that's what they will do come fall.
Boris is a poor speaker and a worse leader. He has got by on his jovial, bumbling, hail-fellow-well-met image and the Conservative belief that he is popular with the working classes.

Yes, but the honeymoon period is drawing to a close.Didn't he recently get elected in a general election as party leader?
Working classes gravitate towards Eton men?
What shouldnt you have against these things?!?!The Eton Rifles mate, what chance have you got against a tie and crest?
too late for that, the humans have taken it all.^^^ Oh dear...
That being said, I'd better stock up on some beans/ pasta and all-important toilet paper.

That may well be the case, but you can't infer this from the chart. It's meaningless without showing the number of tests. That's something only the Swedish dude is honest enough to admit. I do think the other public health people understand this as well, they just want to save face and can't admit they have been bullshitting the people for the last couple of weeks/months.Yes, public policy directly impacts public health.
