I believe our royal family is more troubled by our failed efforts in taking care of our elderly and old people, not the strategy itself. He is speaking from a personal perspective - his concern and sympathy for all those who have lost their dear ones in this huge tragedy.

I have been listening to reactions in media following the King's comments and that's how I interpret those. It is not his job to criticize. He expresses his personal sentiments.

Why does this persons "The King of Sweden" opinion being matter? Are they an expert in virology or epidemiology?

You seem to be implying that the King of Sweden's ( a figure head ) opinion is to have some special weight in the arena science based reasoning (more than any other Joe Shmo in Sweden ). Its really no different than you finding out Torunn's hairdresser shares your lockdown sentiments and you use their opinion to rub it in her face...who cares!

I don't disagree with the King. He expresses his deep sympathies with those of us who have lost relatives or friends. I don't disagree with the current strategy either. It is very sad that we, as the King expresses, have failed to meet the necessary requirements.

Several studies show there is little correlation between government restrictions and lower COVID mortality rates. Here are three of them.

Not sure if anyone has time for an hour long video, but Kim Iversen has some insight on Sweden.



She mentioned that Finland and Norway have decided to not lock down anymore, so I am wondering if Sweden's approach is so wrong why does it seem like they are following they Sweden approach?

But what about the second wave?
That destroys the second wave theory.
