I'm not on the "Zero-COVID" train. I believe the virus is and will be endemic. That said, there are a lot of people out there with a belief in Covid-Zero and think that *forcing* people to wear masks, to lock down cities and countries and to force experimental vaccines on people is how you get there.
Behold a pale horse I mean Sweden.
7 day moving average deaths: 0
Ze-ro.
No mask mandates, late implemented limited lock downs in some places. Everybody was in Sweden's ass about how irresponsible they were being.
As Kook Moe Dee said : How ya like me now?
Now i'm not saying they cannot have a resurgence. This is a seasonal virus and they have had a close to zero death rate before (last summer). So this underscores that what we are seeing in the US and elsewhere is not about "science" but about control.
