While America and most of the world marched off to the COVID War, Sweden did not.
Ask most Americans what the result was of Sweden’s resisting any form of lockdowns and they will say, “COVID killed more Swedes per capita than any other nation because they did not fight against the deadly virus.”
As we have detailed with factual data, that belief, promoted by the western media and many politicians, is false.
Yes, Sweden had a higher death rate compared to its neighbors Norway and Denmark, but it was lower than Spain, France, the U.K…. and even Belgium, which has a slightly higher population. Based on last month’s data, here are the death rate percentages: Sweden: 7.18; Spain: 10.44; France: 13.71; U.K.: 15.19; Belgium: 14.8.
And now, Sweden’s top infectious disease expert Anders Tengell warned, “It is very dangerous to believe face masks would change the game when it comes to COVID-19.”
Dr. Tengell said, “With numbers diminishing very quickly in Sweden, we see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport.”
And, making a statement that is NEVER heard by the mainstream experts of most nations, Dr. Tengell noted, “The findings that have been produced through face masks are astonishingly weak, even though so many people around the world wear them.”
The epidemiologist also declared, “I’m surprised we don’t have more or better studies showing what effect masks actually have. Countries such as Spain and Belgium have made their populations wear masks but their infection numbers have still risen.”
Indeed, as we have reported, Sweden’s COVID-19 death rate is lower than those of Spain, U.K., Italy, France, and many other countries which imposed draconian lockdowns while Sweden stayed open for business.
As we also have reported, while the Eurozone’s GDP fell on average 12.1 percent in the second quarter, Sweden’s fell 8.6 percent.
Wear a Mask or Go to Jail
In America, where some of the biggest states and largest cities are still in lockdown phases and mask wearing is mandatory in 37 states, the COVID Gestapo is clamping down on unmasked violators.
Last Wednesday, in Pullman, WA, Police Chief Gary Jenkins ordered anyone breaking the governor’s mask order would be treated as a criminal. He announced anyone violating the mask order could be fined up to $5,000 and spend a year in jail.
Police Chief Jenkins said, “In the past couple of weeks, we have seen an increase of gatherings and parties and that has coincided with WSU students returning for the academic year.”
In addition, any person who allows a gathering of more than ten people will be liable for a $250 fine and “failure to disperse” a gathering of ten or more could lead to 90 days in jail.
The Police Chief stated, “We stand between those who are law-abiding and those whose actions risk the health and safety of others. Violations of the Governor’s proclamations not only put the violator’s health at risk, but the health of our entire community.”
TRENDPOST: Either too ignorant, too arrogant, or both, the Chief cop should note that to date, 1,938 residents of the State of Washington have died from COVID-19 out of a population of 7.65 million (0.03 percent)… and over 60 percent were from nursing homes.
Thus, masking up a population and robbing them of their rights of liberty, joy, and beauty, and imposing the governor’s tyranny will prove more deadly spiritually, emotionally, and economically to the “entire community.”
TRENDPOST: While the state of Washington plans to prosecute residents not wearing masks in public, the Connecticut Department of Public Health reported last week that the state’s health officials failed to provide enough masks for elder care residents and staff who desperately needed them.
Instead, according to a report by Mathematica Policy Research, the state “officials” incorrectly assumed there was enough personal equipment, such as masks and gowns, to keep staff and residents protected.
More than 3,000 elder care residents have died from COVID-19, about 75 percent of all deaths recorded in the state, the highest in the Northeast.
Again and again, over and over, who is dying from the virus and why are basically ignored by the media which keep pumping Fear and Hysteria to raise their ratings.
TRENDPOST: As we have detailed, since the virus struck, beyond the elder care population who have died from the virus, many were chronically ill. The other victims were suffering from obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, serious heart conditions, etc.
The seven-day average of virus deaths dropped below 1,000 a day over the weekend, the first time since late July, and new cases fell to 42,600 as of Sunday – well below its peak in mid-July of around 67,000 daily cases. Yet, because of its unhealthy population, the U.S.A. is still #1 in world casers and deaths.
