    Been discussing it with my friend who lives in Helsinki. He says that most Finns are following the rules to the letter, as they don't want to "end up like Sweden".

    Was talking to a Finnish colleague the other day about it and he was saying that it’s being reported that deaths of ethnic Finns in Sweden is 60% higher than normal.

    Yeah I saw something similar the other day. I thought that Sweden was the stick to beat us 'lockdown fanatics' with?

    Not any more by the looks.

    Yeah but don't forget most of these were run over by a bus, then added to the Covid figures afterwards, so those figures are not real :)

    Difference between not real and not accurate. My aunty died of heart failure following a long battle with heart disease. She's on the figures you posted after a failed test

    Don't forget Blunt Head Trauma. 27 days after a positive test they all got smashed in with shovels.

    Of course not. But neither do I want all local businesses to fail - an accusation that has been levelled at me for being pro-lockdown initially.

    Hyperbole can work both ways.

    Thank god even Boris saw sense and abandoned the ridiculous herd immunity idea.
    It's going to be a bad winter. Where we'd be if certain people had had their way I shudder to think.

    I don't think you want them to, I do however believe you would be ok if they did as long as it meant lockdown was longer and harder

    So you think I would be ok for all local businesses to fail?

    Ok mate. I'll leave you to this one - there's not really much I debate on that.

    I've said there's a spider in my living room too. I didn't mean that every spider is in it.

    Well what would you be ok with then? I'm confused because your demands for lockdown IS causing businesses to fail yet you still demanded harder and longer lockdown. Isn't it logical that the longer you do it the more businesses fail?

    Completely unrelated to Sweden but feels the right thread to say this in. Did anyone see that Wales now has the most cases per capita in the world? That’s with the strictest lockdown measures in the UK.

    On Sweden though. The shared article seems to almost completely dismiss that Stockholm alone is 25% of their population, so the density argument kind of falls down there. It’s also where something like 40% of the deaths have come from.

    Both Norway and Finland are doing far better than Sweden both in terms of deaths and economically, but you carry on.
