Now that Sweden's 2020 mortality statistics have been finalized, we can see the horrifying COVID-19 death toll with a good magnifying glass.

@pete If you'd make this graph with average years of life lost it'd be even more extreme.(As in Covid not being that bad vs the Spanish flu or any other.)

@bitcoinunity Indeed it would. I don't have Swedish data handy. But at least in Canada a full 71% of all reported covid deaths were in nursing homes: https://ltc-covid19-tracker.ca/Typical life expectancy in nursing homes is a few months, to at most a few years.

@dsmatthews Yup. Out of Sweden's ~10 million population, you'd expect ~100,000 to die every year. So no surprise that 9,433 deaths doesn't make much difference to the graphs. They probably don't have many excess deaths from lockdown, because of course, they hardly had one. And of course, some % of those claimed covid19 deaths will be false positives, and/or people who were going to die of something this year anyway.

@pete @dsmatthews Sweden didn't do lock does A) because their constitution doesn't give the government that power [what an amazing concept] and B) because health authorities had previously war-gamed it out and found it didn't ultimately helphttps://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-swedens-new-covid-lockdown-law-takes-effect/a-56185101

@pete @dsmatthews Sweden didn't do lock downs A) because their constitution doesn't give the government that power [what an amazing concept] and B) because health authorities had previously war-gamed it out and found it didn't ultimately help.But *now* they've gone and changed the law anyway. Let no crisis go to waste.https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-swedens-new-covid-lockdown-law-takes-effect/a-56185101

@pete Indeed, total deaths are the only figures that matter. All the rest is noise from the PCR test...

@pete Why does this get maligned or so little traction in msm?

@pete That is basically what is going on, showing up in the statistics if you look closely, all over the world, just with variations due to socioeconomic factors.
