#1 Surprise surprise. The data from not just Canada but around the world is almost completely unreliable: inconsistent, inept, double-counting here and mis-counting there.

"A data fiasco," just as Dr. John Ioannidis predicted on Narch 17.

#2 “We were told that we should not send anyone to the hospital, even if they are 65 years old and have many years to live. They told us not to send them”, Latifa Löfvenberg, a nurse who worked in several nursing homes in Gävle, north of Stockholm, told BBC. Löfvenberg currently works in a Covid-19 ward in a large hospital in the Swedish capital, where she says that the patient demographics data provides further evidence that the elderly are being kept out. “We don't have many seniors. They are many young people born in the 90s, 80s and 70s”.

#3 g, We get it: you're obsessed with Sweden and hate the Swedes for supporting the Palestinians. Not relevant here. Give it a rest.

#5 I doubt the people mismanaging/dismanaging the virus response in Sweden have any particular love or affection for Sweden.

Damn it, I hate to have to say this again... for years we've been teaching in the west that communism is an economic system, when it's really a political system masquerading as an economic system. And a shitty example of both a political system and an economic system.
