Sweden’s Prime Minister Stefan Löfven is facing a grilling about how his government has handled the coronavirus pandemic. The leader is appearing before Sweden’s Committee on the Constitution, which has the job of scrutinising the government and ministers. #coronasweden #covid19
Over the next few hours he’s expected to be quizzed on matters including the availability of testing, how bans on visits to elderly care homes were handled and the country’s general approach to the crisis, which included leaving larger parts of society open than most of Europe.
The committee has already questioned several of Löfven’s top team including Health Minister Lena Hallengren. She revealed last week that although the Swedish government agreed on a general approach to handling the pandemic, it never formalised or voted on a Covid-19 strategy.

BREAKING - Sweden is banning public events of more than eight people from 24th November. About a month ago it planned to raise the number to 300 people. #CoronaSweden #covid19sverige
Private events such as dinners or parties are still covered by local recommendations rather than the new ban. However the Prime Minister asked people to continue to follow the local guidelines where they live.
In 20 out of 21 Swedish regions, people are advised not to socialise with people they don’t live with.

"It is going to get worse. Take your responsibility to stop the spread of the virus", said PM Stefan Löfven.

3 254 new #coronasweden cases announced today, taking Tuesday's total to 2416 and yesterday to 2820. The last data data is nearly always updated next day by approximately 25%, so we've almost certainly blown way past 3000 new cases in one day.
7 new deaths also registered, bringing the total to 5934. Despite nearly 200 deaths being removed through "adjustments" in recent weeks, this is a new high.

Oldest change +1 to October 10. Number of deaths with an unregistered data is now up to 9.
Swedish Palliative Care registry reports 122 Covid deaths for October, compared to FHMs total of 72. That's an increase of *14* since Tuesday.

A quick look at new cases per age group per week of #coronasweden

Increasing among all groups except the very elderly, with small numbers there (<20) that's likely just random variation.

That huge jump in the 20-29 yr group though? Not random variation. Image
The good news is that it's still low in the 60+ group (<20). If that stays down then hospitalizations and mortality will stay relatively low.

Bad news is that there's little reason to think it will stay low. 60-69 and 70-79 yr group have both doubled in 2 weeks.
Just discovered an error in that graph. Corrected version below Image

So the whole #covid19sverige Swedish virus "experiment" controversy has been framed in terms of "herd immunity" and that's not at all what the conflict is (even @neil_ferguson agrees that it's not about herd immunity). #coronasweden
Rather, it's a conflict about an approach to risk management. Sweden's most serious critics promote an approach that involves using "easily" computable worst-case scenarios for virus death and acting accordingly... #COVID19sverige #coronavirussweden
... in an approach that uses the most drastic measures to bring about the most rapid suppression of the virus (the "hammer"). #COVID19sverige #coronasweden

Så här nära har nog inte DN varit att föreslå #basinkomst förut. Följ HK!

”Familjeförsörjare som inte kan gå till arbetet kan också få trubbel med räkningarna. Den svenska statskassan är välfylld. Där finns kullager som kan få hjulen att fortsätta rulla.”

Lägre produktion klarar vi oss igenom under ett tag. Men hushållens konsumtion får inte störtdyka. Både av marknadsskäl och av sociala skäl.

Nu är det ganska låga belopp det handlar om, kanske 10-20.000kr/person i Sverige.

Men en jämn utbetalning kommer göra mest för de som har lägst marginaler.
