Sweden Defeats Coronavirus?

0:00 – Has Sweden’s Herd Immunity Defeated COVID 19?
Sweden has stood out as it has taken a different approach to the Coronavirus pandemic. It, like the UK, used a herd immunity approach to the virus.
But unlike the UK, which dropped its herd immunity approach months later, Sweden continued its approach.
This approach to the COVID-19 pandemic was the direct opposite to its Nordic neighbours and the rest of Europe in trying to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Sweden Herd Immunity Has Sweden’s Coronavirus Strategy Worked?
The Swedish strategy permitted people to keep living their daily lives as normal.
Sweden’s 7-day moving average of new cases was about 200, down from a peak of around 1,140 in mid-June.
Its daily death totals have been in the single digits for two weeks, well below its mid-April peak of 115 deaths in a single day.
Sweden has had 567 deaths per million people compared with Norway’s 47 deaths per million, Finland’s 59 deaths per million, and Denmark’s 106 deaths per million.
But recent data is showing that the number of deaths has dropped considerably in recent weeks.
We’ve actually seen a clearly declining trend in the number of patients in intensive care and also in the number of deaths since the middle of April — Anna Mia Ekström
Now we see one or two deaths a day and very few persons admitted to ICU (intensive care units). We are much better off now than we were in April — Jan Albert
1:31 – How Did Sweden Flatten Its Curve Without a Lockdown?
Without implementing a lockdown, Sweden has managed to flatten its curve.
1:43 – Behavioural Change: Social Distancing in Sweden
Masks were never required and aren’t commonly worn and the social distancing guidelines since the start of the pandemic, including working from home where possible and avoiding public transport have all been voluntary.
This message and approach hasn’t changed through the pandemic’s rise and decline.
So there’s no definitive explanation for the flattening, though, and experts have several theories.
Despite businesses keeping open and the economy continuing, than in other countries, forecasts predict the Swedish economy will still shrink by about 5% this year.
3:01 – What was Sweden’s Herd Immunity Strategy?
Sweden’s strategy to tackle the coronavirus pandemic has been criticised both domestically and internationally.
The latest Swedish numbers has led Anders Tegnell, PhD, chief epidemiologist for the Swedish Public Health Agency, to say that the “Swedish strategy is working,”.
3:27 – How Close is Sweden to Reaching Herd Immunity?
Scientists are trying to figure out whether herd immunity from the new coronavirus can even be reached, for how long or even if it’s possible or ethical.
But whether that means that we are on our way to herd immunity is a big unknown.
Did Sweden’s coronavirus strategy succeed or fail?
It remains to be conclusively determined. But time will tell.
