Again - your twitter nonsense is filled with BS and incomplete data.

• COVID-19 testing rate by country | Statista

Sweden looks worse because they test more than Finland and Denmark - and it isn't close.

Same with people saying that the U.S. and U.K. are failing - they aren't, they just have a better handle on administration logistics and tracking of tests. And also - I still question how we (and Sweden, U.K, etc..)are tracking deaths. From what I can tell, if there is a positive test at the time of death it is still counted in the statistics - whether the person died from brain cancer or a car wreck. So countries like us and the U.K. will always look the worse - because we are killing it with testing.

Seriously - I just don't get the need to blow this up into something it isn't. For once, you 'bros need to lay off Twitter and TikTok and actually present the stats with some context. COVID is serious enough as it is, and you should be ashamed and embarrassed for playing politics with it.

I find it interesting that the decrease in influenza is attributed by him to face masks and not any of the other measures that have been put in place to limit human to human contact.

4 different icu's during flu season, zero positive for flu. It's on the panel for admission order. No one can explain that to me yet.

Sweden looks worse because they test more than Finland and Denmark - and it isn't close. Your plots even hint at this.

From what I can tell, if there is a positive test at the time of death it is still counted in the statistics - whether the person died from brain cancer or a car wreck. So countries like us and the U.K. will always look the worse - because we are killing it with testing and liberally counting causes of death.

Seriously - I just don't get the need to blow this up into something it isn't and push an agenda.

That's why he also included deaths per 100k and total deaths.

Fact is, Sweden's light approached resulted in many more deaths (both absolute and as a percentage of population) and a worse economy than it's Scandinavian neighbors.

Corona being an "invasive" virus has taken over the influenza niche causing the flu to be all but gone this flu season... JMO

their second spike came AFTER they joined the rest of the EU on the lock downs.

Nope - wrong again. Sweden's "many more deaths" are directly proportional to its ability to test more than its neighbors. Your charts even say as such, and qualifies the data as limited by testing availability and accuracy.

Stop with the drama and agenda. It is sad, and quite frankly, disgusting and insensitive to the real toll this is taking on so many people. You really should be ashamed, and so should the other Twitter and TikTok warriors pushing this crap.

Once again burying the lede: While Sweden is on par with the other Scandinavian in terms of GDP growth in 2020 the UK is way off (3x worse performance).

UK shut down heavily and it's deaths per 1M are 1919 vs 1392 for Sweden.

the cumulative death curves is skewed too because Sweden has double the population of Finland, Norway and almost double that of Denmark.

So tell me again what we are supposed to be learning from the TwitStorm?

It really does almost make me want to get a Twitter account so I can tell this football spiking Twitter yahoo - "yes - the debate was over about 6 months ago and it looks like you still don't understand"

it reminds me of the Twittwat that triumphly posted that suicides were not up and used a chart showing massive spikes in deaths from chronic diseases (likely due to not seeking treatment during the pandemic).

Only concerned with death depending on how the death occurs?
