14. Anders Tegnell probably should be publicly flogged.

But now the Swedes are claiming Norway and the other Nordic countries will catch up with them eventually because their lockdowns are just dragging out the process and everybody will get the virus sooner or later.

Johan Giesecke, an advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) and former state epidemiologist, thinks Sweden is the best in the world. Although the Swedish model has led to significantly higher death rates than in the other Nordic countries, he thinks it will even out.

"It is impossible to slow down, and will kill about as many people per inhabitant and country," he told the newspaper. Giesecke describes the virus as a natural disaster and says those countries that have closed society now will experience high death rates in the fall, winter and year to come.

Really? Does he not take into consideration the fact that keeping some kind of lockdown in place protects people while buying time to develop treatments and vaccines and to increase hospital capacity so people who do get sick can be treated effectively?
