L’epidemiologo di Stato svedese, Anders Tegnell, avrebbe ammesso alla Swedish Radio che “dovevamo imporre più restrizioni”, riporta La Stampa parlando di un “mea culpa” sul mancato lockdown. Peccato che Tegnell non ha mai pronunciato quella frase: poche ore dopo l’intervista in radio ha voluto subito precisare che le sue parole sono state “forzate”. E ha immediatamente chiarito che “he doesn’t believe that a lockdown would have been the right track for Sweden”. “It is obvious that it could have been better, the number of people who die is still very high”, “but I think the fundamental strategy has worked well. I can’t see how we could have acted in a totally different way”. “Based on the knowledge we had then – ha continuato Tegnell – we are still in agreement that the decisions that were taken were adequate”.
Decisioni adeguate. “I don’t believe that a lockdown of society would have been a better solution than the track Sweden chose”. Lockdown non sarebbe stato meglio della strategia svedese.“I think many of the countries that closed down everything straight away could think about whether it was really adequate to close as much as they did. Could they have been more focused and still have had the same effects? You don’t close off societies if you don’t have to”, ha spiegato Tegnell.
Nessun errore, dunque? “We should have been able to start testing much quicker than we did”, dice, per poi aggiungere “we didn’t know that there would be such a big potential for contagion in care homes, with so many deaths” (Tegnell sa che in tutto il mondo i pazienti più colpiti sono stati quelli delle case di riposo, ed è successo anche da loro). Ma nessun ripensamento sul lockdown…
Mortalità Covid in Svezia: 0,04% (senza lockdown)
