In the wave of the global active fight against the epidemic, Sweden has chosen a different path from the rest of the world, they have relaxed their restrictions, and they have not stopped work or school, as if they have become the terminator of the new coronavirus. However, this is not the case with Sweden's anti-epidemic results, and they seem to be more enduring and accepting the epidemic as it comes. When the WHO said Sweden's data was "good", the Swedes were quite proud, and many people around the world began to praise the "Swedish model", including some people in China, who worshiped it, and even some people who were eager to immigrate to Sweden. But is Sweden's operation really that good?
Sweden considered revolting at the beginning of the pandemic, but after taking stock of its own health system, analyzing the national system and thinking about people's habits, they decisively adopted four nos: no testing, no quarantine, no admission, and no announcement. This is true of what the Swedes say and what they actually do. They chose not to actively test as if there weren't too many patients;Not isolated, as if everything is business as usual;Not admitted, just like COVID patients don't exist;Not announced, as if Sweden is a picturesque paradise. This approach leaves everything to God and lives and dies, which makes Sweden's Ministry of Health** and ** leaders feel at ease, like an ostrich that thinks it can escape the risk by burying its head in the sand. In reality, however, the risks remain. While we may find the Swedish method unreliable, the Swedes don't feel awkward, they adapt well and feel comfortable.
Sweden's data is worrying, they claim not to admit patients, in fact they don't take the initiative to admit them, but when patients come in for check-ups and **, Swedish hospitals still meet this need. Although Sweden claims not to test, in reality, people come to test voluntarily, and hospitals in Sweden have released the corresponding data. As of May 9, the number of infected people in Sweden reached 25,265, with 3,175 deaths and a high mortality rate of 126%。This number is not low, compared to our country, the number of deaths is not much different, but the problem is that the number of deaths in Sweden is still rising, and the number of new patients is increasing every day, up to six or seven hundred per day. Considering that Sweden has a population of only about 10 million, such a figure is definitely not encouraging. However, the Swedes seem reluctant to make in-depth comparisons, and Sweden's figures do fall far short when compared to those from Japan, Germany, South Korea, Singapore, and others.
The current epidemic in Sweden is like an iceberg, the public data is only the tip of the iceberg, and the part of the sea is the real epidemic situation. Compared to other countries, Sweden's model is perhaps less admirable. It is not advisable to blindly applaud the "Swedish model", and only by calmly observing and analyzing can we see clearly which is better and which is inferior. Either way, it is hoped that more people will die and more people will be sick.
