A surge in infection in Sweden is not unexpected, just like Quebec and Ontario. If no drastic measure is taken, the rise is likely to be exponential in the next few weeks. There is no data to show the number of people tested, and therefore the number of infections will not reflect the real situation.

There are other reports to show that economically Sweden is no better than or just as bad as the neighbouring countries, although the people have enjoyed more freedom of movement.

In my previous post I touched on super spreaders. In my opinion, I believe it is likely one is among these newly infected in Sweden. The number of infection cases will continue to grow because of super spreader.

You may recall Lombardy in Italy started with medical doctors witnessing cases of patients died of pneumonia-like disease in November 2019, but no action was taken. Things became drastically wrong, and a large number of the population, especially the aged, died in the subsequent months.

UK is another example. Boris Johnson bragged about his visit to hospital treating infected patients and took photos with them without wearing a mask. He was experimenting with the theory of “herd immunity”. Fortunately, he was struck down by the virus himself, or else health policies would not change to curb with the rapid rise.

Wearing mask in public places is not a human rights issue or a fashion statement. It is about quality of life. Your health, or even your life is in your own hand now! Take good care and stay safe.
