Sweden Had No Lockdown. Did It Work?

- Sweden has become a model for staying open during the pandemic for lockdown opponents in the U.S.
Yet comparing Sweden and the U.S. without context is misleading.
Unlike the Scandinavian country, the U.S. was not equipped with a robust social welfare system. But most importantly, has Sweden even successfully contained COVID-19? And will Sweden reach herd immunity?

@@xXGalloXx I live in Swedena and sudied psychology, what you are saying is a typical comment out of total ignorance about Sweden.
So when it comes to healthcare or prison reform, American conservatives claim “what works in Sweden would never work here, we have too many people,” but when it comes to forcing poor people to work during a pandemic suddenly the Swedish model would work just fine?
Wait wait any reform that interferes with the profits of corporations is basically socialism to conservatives.
@@mojave5664 you realize corporations are owned by citizens in America right? This isn't china.
@@Martin-X now that is very naive. Or stupidly disingenuous.
Google User You know that Americans aren’t the only ones who own corporations in this country right? Also owners being American citizens means nothing, greed exists in the world in case you didn’t know
@@mojave5664 Try talking about social democracy (albeit with parliamentary system) with US right side.
They'll scream socialism communism - despite communism not being strong at all where social democracy works well.
They're all about individualism and deregulation, with no reform on civil or worker rights in sight.
Well, US have that individualism in place now. How's that turned out, ending up as a police state?
They love shouting "greatest country", but they never answer when I ask on which poll/statistic.
Try to reform, and "the other side" will sabotage - just because. It's a horror show from the outside.

Norwiegan here, No swedens plan did not work. A lot of swedes died rapidly and Denmark and Norway are opening the borders across their countrys again but sweden has Been left out since its still at high risk.
Agree. czcams.com/video/ysm8UJZtc-8/video.html
Hi Sweden here! As they say in this video, Yes we have failed with our elderly homes and protect them, because that is where most deaths have been. But at the same time, we try to maintain a functioning society. That's why people who are not at risk trying to live as normal as we can. So that those who are at risk kan stay protected at home.
We are not close to an end of this pandemic yet. So to start speculating on what has been done right or wrong, and to compare between countries, is very misleading. It may well be that in Norway and Denmark you expect even bigger waves when you open up again (see for example what is happening in South Korea), which Sweden may not do. We'll just have to wait and see.

Congratulations to all old people with underlying illnesses in Norge, stopped dying now under COVID-19 its really good.
In Sweden, they still die as usual, but most with COVUD-19 diagnos. Some have sadly have there life shorted when Sweden failed to protect them and that's not good.
We hope they appreciate that their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have lived with no lockdown and with such a normal life as possible during this strange time.
Love for all those who have lost loved ones in this pandemic. My heart is going out to you

As you are in favor of pure capitalism and in light of current events, do you agree the Police should be defunded? As it is, it's a pure socialistic concept to have Police funded by the countries government. Don't you agree?

The only reaaon you call him communist leaning is because you heard some other idiot saying it.
I would like to underline one thing that i feel is missing from this clip: Anders Tegnell has over and over again underlined that the reason Sweden chose to not lock down etc. is because it is not sustainable in the long run. Since Sweden got the Covid-19 pretty early it was pretty much out of control by the time anyone had figured out what was going on. So instead of trying to nip it in the bud (it was already too late for that) Sweden opted for a solution that it would be able to keep up for a long period of time, assuming that the Covid-19 was going to stick around for quite som time. Sweden simply opted for a route that would be acceptable for the swedes for a long period of time while not completely overcrowding the hospitals in doing so.
Wether or not this was a good strategy or not remains to be evaluated. It is too soon to draw any conclusions at this time.
In regards to the high death toll of elderly people this seems to stem from the fact that the elderly care (which was more or less locked down) was ill prepared for the situation and were lacking in routines as well as materials. It does at this time seem unlikely that a lock down of the rest of the society would have changed those numbers significantly but again, only time will tell.
i think the outcome will be favourable for sweden.
although the number of infections seems to be rising ,this is a local phenomenon.
Stockholm was the first part to be hit and now is doing quite good.
Västra Götalands not so good, i wonder why.
What is your opinion about Sweden's Covid policy now?
I truly respect their balanced and neutral opinion on what happened.

Sweden is run by china dont be fooled
Well done Sweden, no need for masks or lockdown
In contrast, New Zealand locked down early and firmly and had lots of testing, now they've eliminated covid from their territory.
And Sweden has a great public health care system and not as dense as the US meaning they do better even when they're faring worse against the actual virus propagation.
New Zealand has done great, but remember it is a very remote island. I guess the combination of quick tracking down and testing of the early cases and the fact that not that many people visit that country anyway made it far easier to control early spread.
I think that one big reason for the big spread in Sweden has been that mid February is one of Sweden's biggest winter holidays, and thousands of Swedes went skiing in Italy, just as the corona outbreak peaked over there.
This virus spreads very unevenly even within a country. In Sweden we have neighboring counties, where one has been spared and the other has been hit hard. And no apparent reason can be found.
they can still import it. and it just takes one undetected person to bring it in. now with sweden, bring in all u want, most people would not get it any more. they are in a better position to move on with their country.
@@sMASHsound What you see is this false concept of believing that now the majority of people are safe, when it did cost lives already which could have been prevented entirely by waiting for vaccines. Not to mention there is no guarantee that the next season's mutation will have full effectiveness, that's why our flu vaccines have to be updated constantly to get more than partial effectiveness.
And we see in America now a lot of leaders desperate to reopen pointing at Sweden and claiming it could work for them. Well, again, Sweden has a lot of things that America just does not. An amazing public health care system that is affordable, and lower population density namely. Staying open like Sweden for America would have been a disaster greater still than what we have seen, whereas Sweden still had a high per capita infection rate and a dramatic increase in deaths, they just had a better medical system in place that was under less total strain due to the population dispersion and quality and affordability of care. So how about those American leaders put down some widespread amazing affordable public health care first before they start talking like they can pull off a Sweden?
@@zulupox 5 Million People visit NZ per year (pre covid 19) which is about the same as the population of the country, and have a guess where the biggest tourist group comes from... China. Modern Jet travel means countries like NZ and Australia are no longer "remote". Sweden 100% "could" have matched NZ by closing its land boarders as well as the air, the remote argument is a tad silly. I should also add about 20% of the NZ population holidays abroad per year which is WAY above the USA for example.
@@Battleneter Yeah maybe you are right, I'm not sure. If we did exactly what you did, early it might have worked. I just don't think locking down is a solid strategy, unless the virus is super deadly. Will NZ have to quarantine every visitor for years on end until a vaccine is ready? (Sweden has many multiples more people than that arriving in the country every year. There are 75k ppl crossing the Öresundsbridge leading to Denmark/mainland europe every day.. that's like 25 million trips per year only on that bridge. )
Define open? Also they have 10x more dead than their neighbors, and THE worst reault per capita in the whole world
Looking at excess death. Then the US and Sweden are pretty much the same.
No, that's not true. US has 336 and Sweden has 460 Death per Million capita. But by looking at certain states. NY has 1558, Florida only 124.
We also count everyone that has died, many countries only counted direct death by the virus. Not many more have died than the usual flu.

U Svedskoj znadem dosta ljudi sto su imali Coronu nitko nije umro od corone ali je jedan covjek sto je imo i rak i coronu umro ali on bi vjerovatno umro i bez corone...
I think Sweden definitely succeeded. It's horrible there were elderly people who died from it, but people who talk about fighting the Corona seem to ignore other aspects of lockdown!
A family losing their business, rise in domestic violence, depression, suicide, children growing up in a reality of fear... the lockdown has its damages, and for someone reason no one wants to have a look at that.
I haven't seen a study yet to compare the damages of no lockdown and the damages of having a lockdown. Yes, it's horrible to see elderly people die, but does it also make sense to sacrifice the young to protect the elderly? It's not so straightforward.
P.S. That's why I think Sanders would've been good for the US, the Scandinavian social system just works.
They trying to convince us Sweden was wrong ahaha
Japan did not go into real lockdown, they have double Britain's population but 1/40th of the fatalities to covid. Sweden's death rate is 0.05% hardly a pandemic.

Thank you for this attempt to a balanced report. One important thing that needs to be pointed out: At least two times in this piece the reporter says that Sweden has not succeeded in containing virus. The Swedish strategy was never to contain the virus. It has all along been to limit the speed of the spread of the virus so as not to overload th health care system. At the end of the day almost everyone will catch it, the question is how rapid the spread and will the health care system have capacity to care for the worst cases.
I have had it, as has my family and many of my friends. No big deal really. Two families in my circle of friends had some breathing difficulty but not so bad that they were recommended hospitalization. All of us (the friends who have had it) have been home from work 2-3 weeks. All but one have now recovered fully. I don't know anyone who has died of it. But I do have friends of friends who have had to be in ICUs and who could have died if they hadn't gotten the care they needed.
Oh, by the way - yes I live in Sweden.
They are under big pressure from the WHO...a questionable organisation at best..
Who will be embarrassed if Sweden gets out of this pandemic better than most countries.
Socially and economically.
Sweden with a different approach ..
Gets all its cases early... but once a
herd immunity is achieved the cases will drop off.
They also need not worry too much about a second wave.
An objective of not containing the virus in the belief that almost everyone will catch it and then hoping there will be herd immunity is very high risk. First of all most countries, including Sweden are a long way from the infection levels (60-90%) needed for herd immunity. Latest study in Stockholm was about 7% infection, so many more to infect and many more unfortunately to die. Also we still don't know whether herd immunity occurs with this virus. You get it with some, with others immunity is very limited and only temporary. It is not automatic that almost everyone will catch it if you have a mitigation strategy that reduces new infections to very low levels and then are able to isolate new cases as they emerge.
@@isambardk4390
Yes...if you believe what they say.
Just heard of a new study on Australian TV.. " Scientists working with the WHO..say this virus may now be almost undetectable even with a test.

These people seem to be making this stuff up as they go..
You can't really believe anything these people say.
Okay for the Swedes... they still have an economy.. most of the rest of the first world just trashed theirs.
@@isambardk4390 That is true, but remember herd immunity was never the main strategy in Sweden. The strategy has always been to keep the society as open as possible, while not overwhelming the healthcare system. To allow the nation to handle this disease for months upon months, even years on end.
Herd immunity is a nice bonus though, if it can be reached.
@@gore1089 You may be right about the WHO. I think you need to differentiate between the countries that did mitigation right and those that didn't.

We can point out other countries all we want such as Sweden 🇸🇪 but at the end of the day America 🇺🇸 simply doesn’t have the infrastructures as they do.

Complacency is our biggest problem, that is the enemy from within that causes us to succumb to our everyday woes as a nation.
This post was referring to Sweden not being locked down but really referring to their health plan to put down Americas health system? What about comparing Sweden to South Dakota??

Today South Dakota has 115 deaths with only 7,890 confirmed cases still the lowest per hundred thousand than any State or European country! Governor Noem recommended South Dakota residents wear masks from the start even when our Federal health so called experts said not to!

Someone also came up with restaurants putting ultra violet lights directed at the ceiling only with Patel fans circulating the air killing the viruses that are in the air.

when u weigh the good and the bad, their overall loss, they didnt really do badly. more people died, but they might have just taken the waves earlier. and if they took it earlier, more people might develop some immunity to it, earlier. lets give them a few months again, and compare
@Mer Kin i understand what ur saying, except that even with the lock down, people woudl die, and did die, and are dying. so far, less people died from lockd down places compared to sweden. but, as time goes on, places reopen, people travel, the virus would spread again, and u would get ur second, third, iterative waves. what sweden is doing, is attempting to get more people naturally immunized, quickly, so that the vulnerable will have less chance to get it, as they woudl be in a sea of people that cant contract it.

and i am saying, after restrictions are lifted, u will get the spread of the virus again, and u will get more deaths.
and when u compare those statistics to what sweden, u will that sweden rate of increase will be slower, or even reducing. it will reduce in sweden because most the population already got it, so cant transmit it again.
Japan did not go into real lockdown, they have double Britain's population but 1/40th of the fatalities to covid.
From my perception, statistic's on population "activity" is key to an continuing economic stable role.
The information on here seems slightly misleading. Sweden's death rate seems to have plummeted, which is a more accurate measure of true coronavirus cases. Also, US did put in measures for businesses to keep paying workers. Not very well, but it's not like we had nothing..
Great report 👍.
I never heard anyone here in America saying why are we not taking the Sweden approach for the pandemic. Not a single person, politicians, commentator, democrat, republican, non nobody. Why is this video based on it.
UK was going to use this method but the left and media made it impossible
2000+ cases today, working? Hehe.
Of course it can! If the young part of the population get infected, total cases may increase while deaths decrease because COVID19 is like a common sniffle in this group.
@@TB1M1 Its cause you are trolling on every video about corona and doesnt care about the answer.
@goff0103 "Without" Sweden. They don't want to ruin their public health efforts
@@brasserasse Yes. If everyone was under 55 years it's possible, if everyone over 55 doesn't go out much

Fox News: He thinks he can turn us into an ikea catalog
Zlatan:
vad fan sa du, tik 😑
Fox news reported the Chinese virus from the start! So NY Governor telling people to enjoy going to NY in February 10th? That Biden said that Trump was racist closing flights from China and South Korea Jan 30th? On February 11th Polosi was in San Francisco's China town telling everybody that there is no disease here? NY Senator Shumer calling Trump racist for calling the virus the China virus? On December 27th, I saw on Fox News a virus specialist in China warning the rest of the world that China has a very bad flu virus that is the worst he ever seen! The next day Trump was on Fox News saying he is very concerned with this virus and asking China for more information! That specialist was never seen again and Trump never got any true information from China only BS from the WHO! This post was referring to Sweden not being locked down but really referring to their health plan to put down Americas health system? What about comparing Sweden to South Dakota?? As of June 24th, Sweden had 5023 deaths 3612 of those over 70 years old were as in South Dakota they had only 54 deaths 36 over 70 years old! Today South Dakota has 115 deaths with only 7,890 confirmed cases still the lowest per hundred thousand than any State or European country! Governor Noem recommended South Dakota residents wear masks from the start even when our Federal health so called experts said not to! A Doctor friend of hers recommended Ultra Violet lights to disinfect surfaces in schools, churches, factories and restaurants! This was implemented after the Meat packing plant infection outbreak. Someone also came up with restaurants putting ultra violet lights directed at the ceiling only with Patel fans circulating the air killing the viruses that are in the air.
I had the health care system make me handicap and I can't work..and if I use my insurance again I got a letter stating they will take interest from my home...
In Sweden, the paid sick leave is 80 % of salary. But the government only pays sick leave after 14 days. The first day is unpaid. And day 2-14 is paid by the employer which in turn usually have a sick leave insurance that's usually 6 % of salary costs for every employee, every month, all year round, no matter if they get sick or not. So I would say sick leave is a bad idea because it's so expensive. Or at least 80 % sick leave is stupid since I know a lot of people who abuse it. I personally think it should be somewhere around 33-50 % so less people abuse it and it should be covered completely by the government - not by the employer.
DIDNT SWEDEN TAKE THE CHIP WILLINGLY ,
What chip? (Im guessing you have bought into some conspiracy theory, but im asking anyways)
Trump voters will cover their ears and scream "lah, lah, lah" throughout this video because they don't want to know the truth.
What is the truth? The Trump haters has always pointed out Sweden as rolemodel and now your pissing on sweden. The left in the US is really the same garbage as Trump supporters.
@@zilfversurfer2157 Who is pissing on Sweden? No one is dissing Sweden you just made that shit up in your head. There's is a certain percentage of trump supporter who cannot be reasoned with, they make these crazy scenarios in their heads every time something conflicts with their world view, on top of that the fear center of their brain is cranked up more than the average persons causing them to fear outsiders and anybody not like them to much greater degree than the average person allowing them to be easily swayed by dishonest and nasty people like trump, and believe the outlandish lies and conspiracies theory's from him and his cronies.
Trump voters hear only lies from Trump so they are so much used to listen to lies that refuse to listen to the truth. Trump hates the truth because it hurts. This truth hurts him very much. This is his greatest achievement: 1,800,000+ Confirmed Coronavirus Americans, 100,000+ dead Americans and 40,000,000+ unemployed Americans.
Uh you know Sweden has far more deaths Per capita than the US? Still US is far far far bigger than Sweden.
@@nilspettersson5631 Keep this crap in your head. Trump is guilty and you are wasting your time with these irrelevant crap.
This article is saying Sweden has universal health care but lets be clear, it is not national health care it is insurance. Everyone must have insurance but the US does not .
Looking at the statistics of the European Mortality Monitor, Sweden's death toll is well below that of such countries as Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, England and the Netherlands.
Anders Tegnell Sweden's top epidemiologist says he made a mistake in NOT recommending lockdown.
BBC article published 14 hours ago. He "told BBC News in April that the high death toll was mainly because homes for the elderly had been unable to keep the disease out, although he emphasised that "does not disqualify our strategy as a whole". www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52903717
No he didn´t. Stop lying! He said that we could have put some actions earlier but he absolutly doesnt say that Sweden did wrong and lockdowns are the right way to go. You must be drunk
Exactly it's obvious when you look at the data now czcams.com/video/ysm8UJZtc-8/video.html
@@TB1M1 No u cant say anything before this pandemic is over. We dont know if there will be a second wave or not. The lockdownlobby is completle stupid you cant compare number in the middle of a pandemic because you havent a clue about numbers. Sweden deathtollsnumbers are pretty the same as they are every year.
@@zilfversurfer2157 Actually I can say what I want. Second wave is not likely in cases which have locked down, because well, they don't have many cases!! Sweden could be far worse off because immunity is not developing fast enough.
I find it funny Tucker is saying "look at Sweden". I never thought conservatives republicans would say that in a positive way. What has the world come to hahaaaa.😂🤣😅🙃
They'll trash socialism 24/7
Of course they'll do the opposite when it suits them.
Sweden is not a Socialist country, no matter how much you try to make them wear that hat, at the end of the day they are a Capitalist country, and yes they have things that can be praised for, no matter who is talking.
And this how sad it is that America has become so authoritarian that conservatives could point at Sweden as an example of personal freedom.
@@Underleaf76
Soft socialist ...
as well as capitalist..
Democratic...
In other words it's efficient and effective at looking after the society..
Government ( the people )
Pull recourses so people.. no matter what soci economic background you have access to quality public health..
DON'T BE ASHAMED OF THAT!
You buy the US version of society?
Three jobs at $7 an hour and living in a wheelie bin... really ? 😂
They didn't have a lock down but had lower rates of death than the UK... and ICU did not get overwhelmed and 1/3 of the population voluntarily stayed home. Can this be replicated outside of Sweden? I doubt it! people are too concerned about themselves over society.
Health care makes all the difference.
Its about population density. One major city in the US has more people living in it then the entire country of Sweden.
Ronaldopopkings So amount of people is density, ok. Ever mentioned the size of your country vs. Sweden?
4:40 government will cover all cost......where do they get the money for that?...I am thinking the people, ..way to step up sweden gov. lol.
Check out the tax rate.
From the taxes we pay? They won’t be higher if that’s what your pointing at. They’ll be the same.
Keep in mind Sweden has 9.9 million compared to 335 million USA
They took that out of context,And there are detergents used in some medical study's!
AJ+: *Criticizes the admin's politicized response while delivering a biased and highly politicized video*
Gotta love the situational irony..
Unbiased news sources do not exist in 2020, clicks and eyeballs matter more than truth and honest reporting in the current era.
I greatly admire Sweden's social democratic policies, but their approach to the coronavirus was basically to accept it like the bubonic plague and Spanish flu, in which millions died. They sadly decided that a similar outcome was inevitable, since there is no vaccine, and won't be for many months to come.
Overwhelmed..... the hospital ship didn’t get used. Sweden also has private health care
They’re already on a digital currency so no need to crash their economy.
Digital currency 👁👄👁
There hospitals were not overrun, end of story.
their
Dude i live in Sweden and i whant them to have a lockdown like i dont whant to go to School but i like that sweden is paying for health care its nice
I wish you the best! Also, yes, I’m sure free healthcare is nice, and I wish it was here in the US.
UK are more culturally similar to America, they were going to try this Herb Immunity Approach. And we know how it ended...
In Mauritius, we followed all the safety measures, obeyed the curfew rules patiently and got monthly allowance to survive. And it worked.
mauritius borders what countries?
Republicans: We need to be more like Sweden!!!
Person: You mean universal health care?

P: You mean trusting elected officials?
R: No.
P: You mean trusting medical experts?
R: No. Dammit, I just want a haircut.
Nope. Sweden failed. They admitted it.
No we haven´t. We didnt keep the virus out from the elderlyhomes but that i something alot off countries failed at. And sweden havent admitted they failed in any other area.
You haven't looked at the taxes that Sweden pays.
And how many millions of Americans survived anyway
it did work until Sweden switched to the CDC guidelines of counting cancer and heart disease as covid19 deaths.
So you want to compare with a country that has even more serious citizens?
Sweden are doing good
Yeah only 4 countries in the whole world have more death per million inhabitants then sweden. Spain, Italy, UK, and Belgium.
The economy is not going better then neighboring countries. Countries like Denmark, Norway and Finland have already opened up their society like a month ago.
"Borowed text"."Borowed text".
What is the biggest diffece is how you count people that died of corona. In Norway for example they do not count people in eldery homes that died. In Russia they do say that people died of heart or lungfailure. In Sweden we have a problem (had it for years) with the eldery homes since it went from public to private own homes.
Yes in private and state housing for the elderly / retirement homes death toll is higher.
Not in public, I repeat not in general public homes.
Pandemic here in the US. 24/7 talk on the news. Total fears drive it here.
Our Swedish strategy is successful and we can see the deaths going down now. Our medical care is doing very well in this crisis. The care in nursing homes are getting better. The number of people with mild symptoms is going up due to more testing, but the number in intensive care is low now. When we get stick we stay home because we can. Herd immunity is a scientific fact and we are slowly getting there.
Take care, everyone, and wash your hands. 😍 Vote for progressives and demand a government that work for the people, not just for the rich.
Canada had the same problem as Sweden lots of early death for the elderly in assisted living places. They are going to have to overhaul how they treat and care for the elderly that much has been learned from the numbers.
they dont talk about the amount of tax they pay, its mental
we cannot compare ourselves. Sweden has way better leadership then we do.
7:35 oh Kennedy, I guess music doesn’t pay anymore.
So as an American we have to address healthcare and better working conditions for the working class hence more rights and protections from greedy businesses.
Sweden? Open ?
What about the sports events ? Are They happening in Sweden ?
Are all universities open?
Are music concerts and festivais happening ?
Sweden has a high rate of deaths and much more cases than its neighbours. And more cases than countries with less population.
It still early to say. Besides, the U.S. is way way bigger than Sweden in area and population. The U.S. has many big metropolitan areas that easily surpass Sweden entire population.
It makes no sense to compare both.
Big events, Gatherings above 50 are not happening there, most schools are online apart from elementary schools, daycares..which basically didn't shut down. But yes they have the luxury and privilege of physical distancing and being calm.
I’m a Swede - before comparing remember this. We are a tiny population (10 M) spread out over a long narrow country. It’s also too early to tell if our approach was good or bad. That said - trusting people is a good start.
American politics doesn't want citizens to trust one another, their push is to create division, citizens against citizens.
By example just look at the visual showing of dems vs repubs. The hate and disdain appears real, even its mostly acting. Citizens believe its real for sure.
The narrator of this video voted for Obama Hillary Clinton and Biden and isn't left wing extremist. Tucker Carlson does not lie. He is a patriot to this country
This has not aged well.
Swedish approach includes socialized universal healthcare, paid for by taxes. What a good idea.
Oh so u mean u have to pay for child healthcare eh what a good IdEa
Isn't Sweden one of the countries Sanders wants to be like?
I think it is because the Swedes are not afraid of being out in cold weather. Michigan is a good comparison. Yep the Upper Peninsula vs the lower. Most of the cases are from the warmer part. It also has the dense population. The old remedy for consumption and flu was fresh air and sunshine.
