Lockdowns Never Again: Sweden Was Right, and We Were Wrong
By William Sullivan

In life, we encounter things which may work in theory, but not in practice.  Communism is famously one of those things.  Time travel is another.  With any luck, Americans will soon come to realize that strict social distancing, economic lockdowns, and mask-wearing all belong in that category of supposedly sound ideas that simply don’t work in reality.

For evidence, let’s look to Sweden.  As Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, an ER doctor at a hospital in Stockholm, writes on his blog, “COVID is over in Sweden.  People have gone back to their normal lives and barely anyone is getting infected anymore.”

Unlike so many other countries, “Sweden never went into complete lockdown,” Dr. Kendrick writes.  Non-essential businesses remained open, people continued frequenting restaurants, the kids stayed in school, and “very few people have bothered with face masks.”

Sweden was right but if the rat media has their way Americans will never know.

It should be self evident that the values/virtues that founded our nation have basically disappeared
from public life.
They have been replaced by politics, the neurosis of politicians, who are now our leaders.
Plagues have occurred down thru history for thousands of years, yet Man managed to survive,
overcoming their impact; due to his determination and will to survive; aided by competent leadership.
But we, who assert we are the greatest, are embarrassments when contrasted w/our forebears.
Additionally assorted buffoons, clowns, jerks morons and schmucks now lead us.
And many wonder why this pandemic is so lethal?????

You can lock it all down for as long as you want, but it's just going to come back until the thing runs it's course.

Yep, 'the get it now' or 'get it later'.

Get it now keeps the economy moving.

Get it later only helps the leftists.

And the head of the WHO is as far left as left gets.

The US has nearly surpassed the death rate in Sweden, and seems likely to.  Our public policy is equal parts mystical and paranoid.  As it turns out, flagellation still isn't the cure for a plague.

Yet with Sweden sitting out there like a sore thumb we’ll keep on abusing ourselves over this Corona thing cause, well, it’s just good politics.

Do you KNOW..Sweden is about the size of one of our states?  LIKE INDIANA?  Do you realize the population is different?   

Then COVID stats are NOT CORRECT.  PROVEN.
