Scientists: Prime Minister! Prime Minister! We've detected an asteroid that is going to hit the earth in 18 months! If we act now we can stop it!

Prof Balloux: You should resign as a scientist and run for office, then you can raise your concerns in the appropriate forum.🤷‍♂️
OK, I'm exaggerating his position a little there, but well, he's exaggerating that of the scientists in today's OpEd. Balloux says -
Sure, who said otherwise in today's Lancet commentary and the press conference?

Ooops.

From a recent report by Sweden's Children's Ombudsman -

"When we sought children with long-term symptoms of covid-19 to interview, the response was much stronger than we had expected"

In this thread, I will give these children voice.

#LongCovidKids

"Right now school is ok, if I compare with before. I have to take a break, so I'm very tired during the day so I have to sleep at least once a day, even at school. I will be tired and dizzy, but I have found a place ... where I can rest at school." Boy 13 years

"It was hard to be away from school so much, and it's really hard when it hurts so much. But I manage, I do well in almost all subjects." Boy 11 years

@BrodinPetter My son is 15. Barely missed a day of school until this year. He got Covid in January. He attended just 3 days and has failed more than half his subjects - he'd never failed before.

His doctor diagnosed him with #Longcovid, the children's clinic refused to even accept him.

@BrodinPetter Saying they couldn't help him. She tried the adult respiratory clinic. Too you, they wouldn't accept him. She resent a referral to the children's clinic, but *didn't* mention long covid. 6 weeks ago they acknowledged they'd received the request. Nothing since.
>
@BrodinPetter He was infected by a presymptomatic 10 yr old boy.

This reality happened despite us being assured that children don't transmit, children don't get sick, asymptomatic transmission is rare.

Reality says otherwise.

125 new #covid19sverige deaths reported this week and 35302 new confirmed infections for the 7 days until Thursday, decreases of about 7.5% compared to the previous 7-day period.

Total deaths now 14048.

Adjusting for date of death and reporting lag, deaths are at about 20/day.
By comparison, that's almost 3 times as many deaths as our Nordic neighbours reported in the past week - combined.
And about 4 times as many confirmed cases - combined.

It's the 1 year anniversary of the first reported death from Covid-19 in Sweden. 23 new deaths reported today, and a further 5300 new confirmed infections.

Total #covid19sverige death toll now 13 111.
This is a dramatically higher death toll than our Nordic neighbours, who chose a suppression strategy - get cases down as much as possible - as opposed to Sweden's mitigation strategy - get cases down enough so that healthcare is not overwhelmed.
At the peaks of Wave 1 and Wave 2, Sweden was experiencing around 100 deaths/day from Covid-19. We continue to have around 20-30 deaths a day.

34 new #covid19sverige deaths reported today, taking the total to 13042. There are 34 deaths with no date of death recorded. These deaths were spread fairly evening over the past 2 weeks, with only 2 deaths recorded earlier. Image
Now that the data is more or less complete, a slowdown in the rate of new deaths is clearly apparent from approx mid-Jan in the cumulative deaths data. This is approx 3 weeks after harder restrictions were put in place.

Yes @SwedishPM, NPI work. Image
This is also clear on the 7 day average of mortality, with deaths declining significantly from Jan 14. While the last 2-3 weeks data remains incomplete, a clear slowing in the rate of decline is already apparent from approx Feb 14. Image
