Remember that time when Tegnell was saying out loud that herd immunity was the answer to the corona virus? Those were the days

Today's episode of "Sweden's masterclass on How to Lie with Statistics to keep its people content" #coronasverige #CoronaVirusSverige #covid19 #SwedenInDenial

Notice anything odd on the image below? Y axis missing, and is very much off-scale nyhetsbyran.org/2020/05/06/svt…
SvT tv show in which they were comparing testing in Denmark vs Sweden. Blatantly dishonest with the Swedish bar unreasonably high. (If adjusted per population, it would have looked even worse)
When you compare Sweden to our Nordic neighbors, make sure to omit the Y axis (again) so that our numbers don't look so dire (ht and via @edalmaxwell)

Today's episode of "Based on our wild guesses, we are close to achieving herd mentality" - says Sweden, finally winning at something. SE 3529; DK 537; FI 287; NO 232. Data at ourworldindata.org/coronavirus #coronasverige #CoronaVirusSverige #covid19 #SwedenInDenial

The PM of Sweden just gave all responsibility to people, as the government has been doing for days. The message: "We must be good citizens, and if people die, it will probably be their fault because they didn't do it right" 1/8
The government doesn't even hide it anymore. They talk openly about how it is better to let the virus spread and kill many than to let economy be affected by this. 2/8
This article is the best at describing how countries like Sweden, the Netherlands, or until a few days ago, the UK, arrived to consider passivity as the best option. 3/8
