As noted in a previous post, I think Sweden did the West a service.
Notice how he admits he doesn't know. Humility is key to sound judgement.
We need to realize considering trade-offs for selected measures is not bad. It's in fact necessary because it's pretty clear the unintended consequences have already shown the cure is worse than the disease so Dr. Tegnell deserves an enormous amount of credit for having the courage to make this calculation. For example, if the measures are mean to 'save every life' how many lives will it cost through Bastiat's 'unseen' via, say, suicides and starvation due to loss of income? Western governments still refuse to look at this and they're repeating this error with the mass mask mandates in my view.
If they succeed they've actually presented us a gift on how not to react. Specifically with draconian measures that perpetuate hysteria. Dr. Tegnell will have steered his country through this crisis having preserved its mental health and freedoms.
I'm disappointed with Canada and the United States (save for some states and maybe one province) which is my neck of the woods. The way we're acting now will determine how we live with the virus and it concerns me we're not taking a more enlightened and realistic approach. We seem to be letting the virus control us.
I'm actually envious and wish Sweden luck. England once defiantly proclaimed, 'Keep Calm and Carry On' but it's Sweden who holds that torch now.
As for Quebec, there's no excuse to keep schools closed on any level. Open them all up right up to Secondary 5. They've paid enough of a price having lost four months this year.
Education by zoom is cheating them.
I'm tired of people claiming they 'follow the science' when we know the science clearly sates the kids are not in danger.
Open the damn schools and stop over thinking and pretending your can manage this virus.
It's here. Be courageous and lead. Don't let it control us.
