The prevalence is too low for the antibody tests to be reliable. Every public health expert has reported that but people refuse to listen. Sweden has admitted their strategy is not working.

They have done nothing of the sort. Tegnell was quoted as saying he would do some things differently, but was explicit that avoiding lockdowns was not something he would change.

Sweden is mid-pack amongst european nations for death rate due to covid, and notably lower than the UK, Italy and France:

"Sweden has admitted their strategy is not working." No they did not say that. I suggest taking MSM news with a great pinch of salt.

i don’t think we’ll know what worked or didn’t for years from now. regardless of what even they say.

it could be we just delayed deaths that will happen eventually anyway while commuting economic seppuku

One ting everybod gnores right now regardign experts is, that this a novel virus. We don't have any prior exerience or knowledge about it. Wich means incomplete data and potentially wrong data from day one. Making decissions in such cirumstances is incredibly difficult, and I expect every expert to change his mind when the data changes.

Does that potential confuse people? Yes. Are experts always right? No. Are they still the best resource we have? Yes.

and now this whole thing about staying silent about the race riots because they support them even though they’re likely to cause a second wave
