A Conversation with Ed Yong, Science Writer, The Atlantic :thumbup: “No One Should Be Shocked”: The US COVID-19 Response Failure and More

Interesting article about the "face mask controversy" in Finland. https://www.hbl.fi/artikel/forskare-om-munskyddsharvan-myndigheterna-ville-undvika-spektakel/ Google Translate, English

In addition to loosening restrictions despite the current increase in cases, Sweden is also removing the temporary rules that made it easier to get sick pay/money from the social insurance when you are sick or if you have to stay home to care for a sick child. This will probably push people back...

Cases keep climbing, but today Sweden loosens restrictions even further :( This is a big one. FHM has repeatedly defended and stressed the importance of these particular restrictions since implementing them, saying that they have been very effective in saving many many lives. So, what changed...

A bed bound/severely ill pwME in Sweden was admitted to hospital. The home care service kept visiting her house several times over a number of days, but they didn't notice that she wasn't there. They didn't check the bedroom even though the door was wide open, not even to say 'hello' or...

I'd prefer a study on the health benefits of eating dark chocolate, to be honest :) I'm sure they would be happy to confirm that it makes people feel better.

Donated :) I'm immensely grateful, @dave30th, thank you so much!

New Statesman: Sweden’s Anders Tegnell: We did not pursue “herd immunity” against Covid-19 https://www.newstatesman.com/world/europe/2020/10/sweden-s-anders-tegnell-we-did-not-pursue-herd-immunity-against-covid-19 They also say that Sweden's "impressive levels of social trust meant citizens...

No, I really do not feel we could ever say that Sweden "did the right thing". Just one example: how could anyone ever justify the massive number of elderly people who suffered and died locked up in care homes, without medical care, without any care at all (not even allowed to go to the toilet...

I very highly doubt that. Do you have evidence to back that up?

The situation is still not understood, I completely agree with you about that. Have you at all looked into the matter of why so many elderly people have been left to die without any medical care at all, especially in the earlier stages of the pandemic? I suspect at least a small part of the...

Moved post It's so sad, everybody seems to know at least a few people who have long covid :( Lots of people in Sweden with long covid are already getting somatisation diagnoses :( A few of my pwME friends now have long covid too. Some of them are active in some of the very large Swedish...

(I haven't watched the episode linked above.) Meanwhile in Sweden: news articles about the fact that the numbers of covid-19 hospitalisations are increasing as are intensive care cases, the number of infected people in care homes has doubled over a very short period of time, there are outbreaks...

Unfortunately no, I'm too ill. Will have to wait until they make the recordings of the sessions available in mid-November, and try to watch them in tiny chunks.
