Well I don't know about that as they can't control who is exposed can they? Royals and the PM... if the plebs are affected fair play but when the 'ruling classes' are as vulnerable then it's got to be dealt with.

I have at times wondered if all of the 50+ year old male politicians would be as bothered if most of the deaths weren't 50+ year old males. If it was a virus that mainly killed women and children they'd be like "Oh sad, keep calm and carry on".

Yep the likes of those who were ignoring the advice early on In Spain in the bars, the absolute twunt drivers who would come in work coughing and sneezing and get all offended when I told them to eff off away from me with their germs!...grrr!

Those same drivers who thought it was such a load of rollocks a couple of weeks ago are now wearing gloves and refusing to come in the gatehouse!! Lol they can be educated

Yeah, politicians. Monsters, aren't they. No one in Parliament gives a flying **** about anyone else and they have no hearts at all.

They haven't been bothered about casually signing off on policies that have destroyed (and ended) lives in the past, so why now? Because you can't hide from a virus behind money, is why. In my humble opinion, of course of course.

The mind baffles , Sweden needs a kick up the backside seen as they're not taking this pandemic seriously.

Just watch ,when we think we're in the clear in the UK ,then some dummy from Sweden will bring it back and it will spread again

Another different approach:

Turkmenistan’s government has reportedly banned the word “coronavirus” from being used by local media or health information brochures while denying the disease’s presence in the country.

According to independent news source Turkmenistan Chronicle, brochures with information about the prevention of viral diseases distributed by the Ministry of Health have dropped any mention of the coronavirus.

Police are also detaining citizens just for discussing the pandemic, which has swept the globe. Radio Azatlyk reports that “special” agents in civilian clothing eavesdrop on public conversations to identify anyone talking about coronavirus.

If you're worried about that then you're out of luck I'm afraid; there are countries much larger than Sweden where they cannot "lockdown", at all. India, for example, and most of Africa. The lockdowns can't, won't, and are not intended to "snub out" the virus... a lot of people still seem to be under the impression that they are, and I can only put that down to poor reporting.

But TS Sweden is the polar opposite of those poverty stricken countries you just mentioned . Surely regardless of the testing and population it would be benefactory to put Sweden on lockdown.

India & Places in Africa have soo many other problems to worry about , the lockdown system isn't perfect and of course these countries will struggle . But the whole point is to reduce the risk of spreading .

My point really was that Sweden is a small country and you were worried about someone from there bringing it back into the UK... But the risk is obviously much larger from these huge countries where its going to be spreading freely at some point.

have a swedish friend on discord (also there the whole coronacrisis is being discussed)


he said most people who live in bigger cities like Stockholm, still also going on holiday despite warnings not to due to the risk of being infected with the virus

They said on the radio earlier that Sweden has a much lower population, more spread out and many more people who live alone.
