PaulC Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 4 minutes ago, sne said: Sweden has 2214 reported new cases today according to the internet. I sincerely hope that is incorrect (probably isn't) because if it's correct I'm pretty sure that is the worst day reported so far. We had about 300 the day before yesterday and about 800 yesterday. With the weather we've been having the last week the cases were always going to spike but 2200 is extremely high for a little country like Sweden. Yes hope you can stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outbreaks are mostly concentrated to the 3 major cities Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. Sweden is a wast and sparsely populated country. The number of cases as a whole have been high but not extremely so, the number of dead is shocking thou since it was allowed to spread uncontrollably in our care homes and senior homes. The number of cases today is hopefully an anomaly but people have stopped caring as soon as the weather came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that's really high in proportion to the uk. although ours will start rising as well the way things are going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Just watched dispatches channel 4 doc. Looking back the amount of mistakes this govt have made is quite shocking. If they had done lockdown just 10 days earlier an estimated 15000 lives would have been saved. Its prob been mentioned on here but releasing 15000 elderly patients from hospitals into care homes without testing was criminal. The French Pm was the one that convinced Johnson that he must go full lockdown. A total bunch of clowns. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I'm concerned that the upcoming spike in cases due to the protests in the UK is going to give the government a get out. They'll take advantage of the ridiculously short memories of a lot of people and be able to gloss over the first three months of this crisis.

Theres too many things they did wrong ignoring the advice of Sage, their flippant attitude in the early days, having time to do something after seeing what was going on in Italy and Spain, and saying we're the uk it wont happen here. Not bothering with testing. You could put a list on here of at leasts 100 things they did wrong and it wasn't like they weren't pre-warned. Brexit and money was all they cared about.

sharkyvilla Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 What I didnt get is when asked about whether staff have to enforce the rule on wearing face masks, the guy compared it to the banning of alcohol on trains and how the people policed themselves, but surely it's a bit different considering very few people would have taken alcohol on board compared to ensuring every single person complies with the face masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I popped in to a Co-op earlier for a few bits of food, and they now have signs up asking people to stay at least 1 (one) metre from other customers?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villakram Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 The Lancet HCQ is dangerous study has been retracted. Imagine that, a cheap as chips drug with a well known dose response curve is not going to end the world. I feel so sorry for all those pharma execs! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-04/researchers-retract-lancet-study-linking-malaria-drug-to-risks "A study that said a malaria drug backed by President Donald Trump to treat and prevent coronavirus raised the risk of heart side effects and death has been retracted by the authors." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So now that we’re coming out of lockdown and opening up businesses it’s compulsory to wear face masks on public transport. Not when 1000+ people were dying daily with infection rates through the roof, but now. Oh, and of course, you’ll be fined for not wearing one, cue another revenue stream for the government and over zealous transport staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
