Sweden, which chose so-called’group immunity’ as a corona measure, has in fact admitted a policy failure. Public Health Commissioner Andres Tungnell, who oversees the Corona Defense in Sweden, appeared on the radio on the 3rd (local time) and replied to the host, “Do you think too many people died too soon?”
An epidemic scholar, Tengnell, has long argued that the Corona blockade was ineffective. Instead, they sought mass immunity, which states that a large number of people are infected and form antibodies. England and Sweden were the only countries promoting collective immunity. According to the point of recklessness, the British quickly gave up, but Sweden decided go to the end. No ban on business or movement was imposed. Schools only stopped high school or higher, and elementary and middle school students continued to attend school.
Swedish public health chief Andres Tungnell, who chose so-called’group immunity’ as a corona measure, is holding a press conference on the 3rd (local time). He appeared on the radio on the day and acknowledged the failure of the quarantine by answering “Surely,” to the question “Do you think so many people died?”

Sweden’s own defense system, which was left to the public autonomy, apparently failed. In Sweden, 4542 people were died Corona by the 3rd. Four times more deaths than neighboring countries in Norway, Denmark and Finland combined.
In Europe, the overall number of infected people has declined significantly, but Sweden still has many new infections. Sweden’s daily confirmers on the 3rd were 2214, the largest among European countries. It is 7 times more than the Italian population (321 people), which is 6 times the population. As a well-developed welfare state, the long-established reputation was undermined.
There is also a serious aftermath. In Sweden, there is a serious division of opinion, with the government advocating that it was right and criticizing it for raising damages by not giving a blockade. An intimidating e-mail sent to Chief Tengnell saying, “I will kill the family.” When the number of corona patients rapidly increased in Southern Europe, Tungnell said, “In contrast to Italy and Spain, where three generations live together, Sweden will not have any problems because the elderly are living separately in nursing homes.” However, as the virus infiltrated the nursing home, the deaths continued.
Norway and Denmark, neighboring Nordic countries, agreed to open borders with each other on the 15th, but both countries said they would continue to close the border with Sweden. Local reports say foreigners are feeling uneasy and moving away from Sweden is becoming very visible.
