Please Stop and Ask yourselves. Why Would This Person. Anders Tegnell ( working for a tiny swedish no so special agency ) Know better than the rest of the competence of the entire world.
"Folkhälsomyndigheten" have done all in their power to silence any objections from within the agency and the broader Swedish research community. Explicitly choosing an think-tank of outside experts not objecting the strategy.
We are talking about an government organisation where like-mindedness is the norm. They dont publish their sources for estimations, calculations or any of their "theories & strategies" either.
Here are 25 of the prominent swedish researchers objecting the "strategy" urging the rest of the world to please not Listen to Anders Tegnell. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/21/coronavirus...
The amount of deaths in Sweden from Covid19 have been very high and many of the deaths has been completely unnecessary. This is nothing else than a cruel state sponsored murder on parts of the elderly population. Its also likely that the actual death toll is significantly higher than reported since many of the elderly dying at institutions was never tested for Covid19 In-fact at many regions of Sweden autopsies has been suspended during parts of the spring. The recommended treatment for these elderly has been injection of morphine (yes to elders with breathing difficulties).
There are stories of staff sometimes opening the windows while elderly confined to their rooms grasping for air. Family was not allowed to visit but staff was moving without protection gear between the rooms of sick and healthy ( because in Sweden the government early decided that masks are ineffective ways of protection ). Its still the official stance of Sweden that masks does not help against Covid19. But apparently sneasing in your armpit and washing your hands helps. In the beginning this was applied also at the institutions for the elderly. Some heroes objected and bought gear and significantly lowered the death rate early on. Others followed the advice from the "experts" as a good swede does. And the result sometimes was 50-75% dead in the total population of residents at the care facilities.
The Architect behind these state sponsored acts of murder is a man called Anders Tegnell. And you will be surprised to learn that this is the second time this very dangerous narcissist has been causing suffering and deaths in Sweden. Back in 2009 during H1N1 influenza (swine-flue) he was the person responsible for the purchasing and injecting the unsafe Pandemrix vaccine in the Swedish population as head of the vaccine department. Today it has amounted to a total of 600 then children and youths developing narcolepsy. He spent the following years defending the government against the victims who was seeking economic indemnity from the Swedish state medical insurance. When the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet later acquired emails of this mater he was caught on record emailing that the goverment agency he was working for at the time "was at a point of no return politically".
He was then recruited as the State Epidemiologist of the Public Health Agency of Sweden in 2013 as a thank you for his service. Now in 2020 he is directly responsible for the deaths of about 5500 swedes. You could argue that he is also responsible for some of the deaths in neighboring countries where there have been imported cases from Sweden.
This person already before the beginning of 2020 had caused 600 direct cases of mistreatment can now add 5500 deaths to his CV. And likely 1000s of people with lung-damages, muscle damaged and other severe trauma damage from intensive care. There are also reports of increased diabetes onset among Covid19 survivors and the ME/CFS that will likely be the result for many who got the disease.
If you are interested of the numbers and statistics you can check https://c19.se/ it has deaths and infected on a regional level. It can be helpful to understand that the city of Stockholm has had 2344 officially dead and 21490 official cases among its population of 975904. Tests results of antibodies have been reported in ranges from about 10% - 17%. But since testing was not allowed for most people until very recently the numbers can be either spot on or very off.
Microsoft uses partners to sell their offerings. Many of these have used cross-selling with the arguments of all eggs in the same basket and buying from one vendor "more secure and safe" for decades. Tools like Github and Some of the best and most creative developers not using Visual Studio threatened this method of selling. (the IDE runs and deploys "solutions" to Azure directly - very effective walled garden ).
The free thinking and creative developers had started to break organisations free from the microsoft "safe basket" and the push towards AWS and GCP was hurtful to the bottom line. To counter this a strategy was formulated.
Microsoft rebranded as the good guys. With an image of participating and actively supporting opensource. First they tried with pushing .NETcore. Then they gave us VS Code. Then they aquired Github. And now the cross-selling is back in the game.
The arguments of "one vendor" and "one basket" is thrown in your face again - when dealing with procurement people and internal organisation politics.
"We argue Microsoft as the better option here - we in procurement have a good relationship with Partner X who have helped us with Office365 for years". "They told us you already have The Github from Microsoft. And our Code already lives in Azure. You in IT really need to motivate why a different vendor is required for all this cloud stuff".
And the herd of sheeps are slowly returning to the garden.
But To be honest we all know what this re-design is for. Microsoft pushing Azure Pipelines ( github actions ). The previous github interface was not cute / nice enough for actions. So they re-designed the entire site to be able to push us towards Azure usage. ( that is the entire reason Microsoft Acquired github - slowly luring developers from opensource to the safe walled garded of microsoft. With a slow shift of Azure cloud offerings leaking in to our minds. ). And slowly taking over most organisations tool-chains.
