We still have had zero deaths from COVID-19 amongst schoolchildren (our schools never shut down except for some high schools and most universities)
We have had one death, months ago, of a 4 year old with multiple comorbidities
Zero deaths from 5 to 19 years of age since the beginning
10 deaths total 20-29yo
16 deaths total 30-39yo
so 27 total deaths for the entire duration pandemic for the lower half, age wise, of the population (which is around 5 million people)
around 99% of the deaths were 50 years of age or older
96% of deaths were 60 years of age or older
90% were 70 years old or older
almost 70% were 80 years old or older
26% were 90 years old or older
Still no lock-downs the whole time and I still see almost zero people with masks, literally I would say 1 in 500 to 1000, and so many days I see none as I go around the city. All our friends confirm this, and that is all over Sweden, not just Stockholm. We (my wife and I) are still in the antibody and t-cell count immunity study and so far no drop in either, and it has been almost 5 months now since we were infected (with zero symptoms.)
Also, contrary to a lot of disnfo that I see pushed (especially in the US news) our economy contacted far less than the EU overall (the EU contracted 40% more, and multiple nations contracted close to, or more than double ours), and we are on track to go back to positive growth by Q1 or Q2 2021. The vast majority of our contraction came from a drop in exports, mainly from the supply chain for raw materials freezing up, and also from external demand from other countries diminishing.
