“The strategy to protect the elderly has failed”, writes [Sweden’s] Corona Commission. And thus rejects the whole of Sweden’s strategy.”

“Sweden’s corona strategy was established at an early stage: Allow some spread of infection and protect the risk groups – especially the elderly. It has long been clear that it has not worked and on Tuesday the message came in black and white.

The strategy to protect the elderly has failed,” the Corona Commission wrote in an interim report, emphasizing that the single most important factor behind the high death rates in elderly care is probably the general spread of infection in society.”
