And way worse than most other European countries. Interesting you keep ignoring that.It proves that the Swedish model worked better than some countries which mandated masks
Actually around 6,000 up from the average, a 7% increase in deaths....
So far they're on course to have about 4,000 more deaths,...
Stop making stuff up.Are the harms of lockdown worse than the virus itself? (Percentage of 27,599 votes)

That's all I can get. It was an informal poll where TV viewers had an hour to vote.
- Yes 17%
- No 83%
You are wrong. What a surprise.Stop making stuff up.
Consensus is often achieved on a political basis even if the science is far from settled."Experts" largely do agree - whether on the pandemic or on climate change or evolution by natural selection - whatever your particular issue of the day is. The problem is that by agreement among "experts" we mean that there's a broad consensus and there are always going to be a minority of outliers among the "experts" who don't go along with the consensus. Those who don't like the consensus then latch on to the outliers as if they are the ones who really "know" what they're talking about. What starts as a simple disagreement among "experts" then eventually morphs into a conspiracy theory among non-experts who don't really understand all the ins and outs of the issue but - damn it - they know they don't like what those "experts" are saying so the fact that a few of them disagree must mean that something nefarious is going on.
Math is not your strong point I see. They are only up about 3,800 from their average of 90,500 annual deaths.Actually around 6,000 up from the average, a 7% increase in deaths.
Coincidentally they've had 6,000 deaths from covid.
p.s. Their daily cases are just 100 lees than the peak in June. Guess that herd immunity hasn't kicked in yet.
Math is not your strong point. Sweden averages 90,500 deaths annually. Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-deaths/Regardless with the 40% increase in deaths in Sweden in April, that means Swedes are dying before their time relative to the average.
Sweden is on pace for about 95,000 deaths this year, more than 6000 above 2019.
At the current rate Sweden will end up with roughly 95,500 deaths, this is not taken into account any unseen and unnecessary deaths being seen from COVID, check that number in 2-4 weeks.Math is not your strong point.

In 2020 so far they had 71,647 total deaths. That figure was 9 months into this year.
So 9/12 = 75%.
75% of 90,500 = 67,875.
71,647-67,875 = 3,772.
They are 3,772 deaths over their normal average deaths per year after 9 months, which is 67,875 deaths.
However their monthly average deaths have declined sharply over the last 4 months, so I wouldnt be surprised if they "only" have a couple of thousand increase in deaths by the end of 2020.
I will post the final tally in January of 2021 to see what the exact number is
You demonstrated nothing wrong with my math. But your response suggests the possibility of your lack of reading comprehension ability.Math is not your strong point.
I actually did because you took the lowest number of deaths (the year 2019) instead of the decade's average (which is about 90,500)You demonstrated nothing wrong with my math

In a scientific sense, things are never settled. We believe there is always more to discover.Consensus is often achieved on a political basis even if the science is far from settled.
31 cases in two weeks vs. almost 3000 cases per day?31 international flights with Covid cases have arrived in the past 2 weeks, but hey, gyms and bars and family dinners are the real problem.
...
Especially considering the spike in case rates.At the current rate Sweden will end up with roughly 95,500 deaths, this is not taken into account any unseen and unnecessary deaths being seen from COVID, check that number in 2-4 weeks.

You know that Prof Hanke is a Far Right economist, alumnus of the Cato Institute and has no science expertise, huh?
You know that Nathalie Rothschild is a journalist with no science credentials who is all in on being the "Swedish journalist who calls out COVID lockdowns as useless", huh? It's her claim to fame.
