Yeah heaven forbid a bit of good news from a DOCTOR, someone that would know a lot more than the fat neckbeards loving this lockdown cos they never go out socializing anyway.

Regardles of whether he is a doctor or not it is a completely uncited article and his professional status is not verified. Nothing said in it has any validity any more than the poster you're criticising. Several of his claims are completely ridiculous. He's not just discussing his anecdotal experience, there is a clear political agenda which of course brings the article's authenticity into question.

This conclusion makes sense of the Swedish fatality numbers – if we’ve reached a point where there is hardly any active infection going on any more in Sweden in spite of the fact that there is barely any social distancing happening then that means at least 50% of the population has been infected already and have developed immunity, which is five million people. This number is perfectly reasonable if we assume a reproductive number for the virus of two: If each person infects two new, with a five day period between being infected and infecting others, and you start out with just one infected person in the country, then you will reach a point where several million are infected in just four months. If only 6000 are dead out of five million infected, that works out to a case fatality rate of 0.12 percent, roughly the same as regular old influenza, which no-one is the least bit frightened of, and which we don’t shut down our societies for.

I find it extremely hard to believe a doctor would make a claim such as the above.What doctor would claim that 5 million Swedish people already had COVID the type of information statisticians and researchers all over the world are still trying to understand and totally accurately document and none of whom have been able to announce with any confidence yet for good reason. The answer is none who want to maintain any level of credibility in the field. I'd say most posters with even the slightest bit of knowledge about the pandemic know that the R0 is variable and will not grow indefinitely, it is completely changeable based on regulations put in place to stop spread.


Aside from the fact it's just a terribly written article, and doesn't bring anything new to the table apart form the tiresome circular arguments and debates trotted out on here daily. You'd think a doctor would provide more insightful commentary.

I though that also, however the Covid tracker https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospitals-icu--testing
mentions a discharge today and yesterday, so I'm assuming they were discharged.
I'll admit, it's rare to have discharges at the weekend.

When someone keeps posting the same link you would have to wonder to the goal of the poster...

I couldn't go back to the page where I posted the link the first time because of a 503 error.

Other countries making masks mandatory outdoors, we're yet to make them mandatory in all indoor settings. Such a joke.

Why would you make masks mandatory out doors.

Yeah but its a website literally registered a few days ago and all topics are highly suspect (even tho he exists doing other stuff on another website)

He is totally made up

He's literally saying covid isn't bad and he hasn't seen a covid patient in a month, yet the first pic we see of him, is in what looks like a fcking gas mask?

Anyways, as he is a doctor, or he proclaims to be, I will never take him seriously when he says: Considering that 70% of those who have died of covid are over 80 years old, quite a few of those 6,000 would have died this year anyway
No doctor should ever say that.

Seriously Boards - this is going on far too long - it's only a forum

Every time you post you have to refresh a million times to get it to post

It only takes 10 minutes investigation to find out this is a set up persona to push an agenda and give it some "credence"
Several (rather scrupulous) websites linking to it

Ah I know, if it was posted just once here is one thing, I think the same link was posted half a dozen times by multiple users.
Anyway, he's probably married to the demon sperm, alien DNA vaccine preacher/doctor in america.

No doctor should ever tell the truth ?

A doctor doesn't write like this - making the rest of the blog post rubbish

Covid hit Stockholm like a storm in mid-March. One day I was seeing people with appendicitis and kidney stones, the usual things you see in the emergency room. The next day all those patients were gone and the only thing coming in to the hospital was covid. Practically everyone who was tested had covid, regardless of what the presenting symtom was. People came in with a nose bleed and they had covid. They came in with stomach pain and they had covid.
