The Swedish COVID19 Twitter Responses Bingo.🎲 This thread is meant to document typical responses supporting the Swedish COVID19 "strategy" in the Twitter threads for the last 5 months. It's interesting to see that new supporters seem to go through the same set of "arguments."

After 13 years in Sweden, still discover stuff. Today I learned who Jan Emanuel is and wished I didn't.

If your profession failed to communicate long COVID risks to the population, but now your pitchforks are out for those who try to fill the void with layman comprehensible material, reconsider what you're doing.

Someone I know: forced into a full day team gathering this week. Almost everyone has COVID now. Stockholm.

I can't believe all the regular people wear seatbelts and wash their hands most of the time given that people like Baral exist.

Lockdowns are not going away. They will be with us forever as a rhetorical device to push the Overton window so far right, we won't be able to get regular disease surveillance, testing, mandated ventilation improvements, masks at least in healthcare or even vaccines for kids.

Everyone knows lockdowns are not coming back. They’ve been gone for years. However, influencers like this, the ones who tell you not to “panic”, need to have them hang over their audience like a ghost to stoke fear and paranoia.

Prof Ludvigsson, who signed the GBD and whose work was instrumental to lack of infection control in the Swedish schools, not quite sure why the Swedish kids aren't well. Also, thinks that the pandemic is over.

Also. Less relevant but not understanding math. It's allegedly all of two people? Which makes it an equivalent of "I have a black friend"? Or?

Let this sink in. A Swedish TV personality who was supposed to report from the Oscars and got a positive on a RAT actually says: "You prepare for the Oscars for a whole year and then they have a new thing - a cheap quick test for covid that shows positive for me." Oscars 2023.

"– Man förbereder sig ett helt år för Oscarsgalan och så har de en ny grej – ett sådant där billigt snabbtest för covid som visar positivt för mig." Kultur- och attitydkrock mellan Sveriges let-it-rip och Hollywoods smittskyddskultur.

It took me two years to realize that, while I thought public health and much of epidemiology field was about preventing disease, including via getting public to adopt a variety of interventions, there's also an option of drawing salary while talking about how impossible stuff is.

Recommended reading (Swedish) if you want to see what tons of long COVID suffering looks like. This is in a country whose public health agency doesn't think postcovid is relevant to their work.

On a day when mRNA technique for vaccines wins a Noble prize, remember that kids under 18 are banned from getting these vaccines in Nobel's home country, Sweden (except for a tiny at risk group).

I am actually not sure about 11. I'd say, I have some (well-mitigated over the years) discomfort with uncertainty and the need to control the situation (as related to other points) is part of why I, say, always wear masks indoors.
