This shift in strategy to a nationally enforced "Rule of 8" does not appear to have the backing of state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, who has said he wants to use the same no-lockdown approach for the "second wave" as he did for the first.World leaders all over the world are freaking out over nothing. Scotland will enter a useless "short and sharp" lockdown - closing pubs, restaurants, gyms and 'non-essential' shops, banning meetings in private homes, banning travel between areas - because Christmas. South Korea is imposing stricter social distancing rules. The French health minister says there's no end in sight for lockdown - even thought ICU numbers have dropped. Germany's Merkel is telling people to "reduce contacts" because of the "uncontrolled spread" of the virus. That's what viruses do during flu season, Merkel, and this one practically harmless.
Perhaps the PM is listening instead to Fredrik Elgh, Professor of Virology at Umeå University, who recently claimed Sweden is two weeks away from surpassing the first wave's peak hospitalisations. Has he not noticed that ICU admissions are currently in decline? And does he not recall that the health service coped fine in the spring?
Prof Elgh also noted that lockdowns appear to have worked in Belgium and the Czech Republic. But it's cherry-picking data to look just at two countries where a decline happened to coincide with restrictions.
What about the fact that Sweden's first wave declined with no lockdown, while in the UK the R rate dropped below 1 before lockdown both in the spring and in the autumn?
Why is the country introducing lockdown measures now, when there is nothing to indicate an autumn out of the ordinary? It may be because the country had hoped to have a milder autumn surge than they are experiencing. But that disappointment doesn't change the basic parameters, which is that Covid has not been responsible for more than a medium to severe flu season anywhere, whatever restrictions have been applied. The graph below illustrates this point perfectly, showing Sweden's 2019-2020 flu season death toll scarcely higher than earlier years. Not locking down does not result in a death toll much beyond the normal range, and most of those who die are already past the average life expectancy.
...
What a shame that the chin-wobbling Swedish politicians seem at this late stage to have developed a hunger for locking down. Whatever restrictions they now impose though, Sweden remains an important demonstration of what happens when a country refuses to lock down. Sweden may not want to heed the lessons of its own example, but others can.
She began talking about a particular individual: Peter Neffinger.He is "president and on the board of directors of Smartmatic. And it just so happens he's on Mr. Biden's presidential transition team, that's going to be non-existent, because we're fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states," claimed Powell. And that was just to start. She connected Neffinger to the software she said was used to alter or remove votes in some way."President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes, but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose," she told Bartiromo. "We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections."
"They did this on purpose, it was calculated, they've done it before. We have evidence from 2016 in California, we have so much evidence I feel like it's coming in through a firehose," she continued.
Bartiromo asked how Powell intends to prove it, and she said she can't go into the details of their evidence on national TV. "I just can't do that."
"Okay but you have a very small timeframe here, the elections are supposed to be certified in early December. Do you believe that you can present this to the courts and be successful within just this couple of weeks?" asked Bartiromo.
"First of all, I never say anything I can't prove," she said. "Secondly, the evidence is coming in so fast I can't even process it all."
"This is a massive election fraud," she said, saying the software was used not just by Dominion but possibly other brand voting machines as well. "It's absolutely brazen how people bought the system, and why they bought the system."
She also called for a criminal investigation into every state that purchased the software.
Kommentar: It should be fairly obvious by now that this isn't about a virus - a virus so 'deadly' that they have to test half a million people a day for just to prove it's there:
