In a recent interview in FT Anders Tegnell pointed at differences between Sweden and other Nordic countries regarding migrant backgrounds and crowded housing; to indirectly excuse Sweden’s much higher death toll vs its neighbors. Not very convincing when looking at data 👇🧵
Regarding crowded housing, differences are very small across Nordic countries, only Finland seems to have a small ”advantage” (figures for 2020)
Differences are bigger vs other countries in Europe, especially in the South, were avg. persons/household are ~2.5 and people living alone represent lower parts of population ~10-15% (Spain 10% for instance).

"Het virus gaat nooit meer weg moeten we er mee leren leven" is code voor "laat maar razen".

Maar malaria, SARS-1, Ebola, griep, mazelen, polio en wat niet managen we wel. Hoe gevaarlijker en makkelijker terug te dringen, op hoe minder we mikken.

SARS-2 (Corona) manage je dus.
In de komende jaren moet de wereld leren hoeveel moeite we moeten doen om de circulatie op een acceptabel niveau te houden.

Voorlopig is het noodzakelijk alles in te zetten wat niet echt lastig is, zoals:
- Ventilatie
- Boosters
- Maskers
- Testen
- Eerlijkheid.
Omdat we gevangen zitten in de ban van een internist met grootheidswaanzin en/of ongezonde politieke overtuigingen mikt Nederland op zoveel besmettingen als de ziekenhuizen aan kunnen, en dan het dubbele.

Terwijl boosters op zijn minst de kans bieden naar weinig virus te gaan.

#SparkaTegnell (#FireTegnell) has been trending on Swedish twitter all weekend. Every so often I wonder if Tegnell is oblivious to the fact that he constantly gets things wrong, then I remember the below. When there was an FOI request, this did not exist.

Fortunately, Tegnell's correspondent, one of his predecessors, Dr Pete Tüll kept his copies.

But Tegnell deleted it. This means he *knows* what he is doing is a failure, it was predicted, and he's been lying about it.
Then I wonder - what effect can it have had on a nondescript, obscure Swedish bureaucrat in his 60s to suddenly be thrust in to the limelight and be *constantly wrong*, *know that he is wrong* - and yet he gets lauded as a hero in his country and a celebrity around the world?
