We are all mostly fine ... thus far ...đ
Well, are these times surely sent to test us all?
If they are, we are all just surviving, some well(ish) and others not so well.
Still, as this pandemic is so new and there is nothing tried and tested to prevent, cure or even stop it in its tracks thus far, we have to stay focused and keep heading in the right direction of staying healthy.
We are all full of theories in one form or another, again, some good and others not so good. Some from experts and some from non experts.
Our trust and hopes are partially with the trusted community of scientists and medical experts and the rest with our own gut instincts.
The instinct to survive is the strongest one and we have learned over the many years to listen to it as well as the proven solutions by those mentioned above, both western and eastern versions.
However, occasionally a small wind of discontent can be heard starting way over there on the horizon. In this wind of discontent, it has gathered a lot of dust and rubbish along the way. It goes off in various different directions and occasionally finds it way back on track until it's off again in another direction.
Sometimes this wind of discontent can change things for the better, but more often than not it doesn't, it just causes chaos.
One of these 'little' winds of chaos is the whisper that Sweden is the example we should be following.
We all have thoughts about this, some rational, some not so much.
There are too many facts and figures to discount this.
There were two links previously posted in different posts here on Neighbourly that deserve to be posted together to disprove this notion that Sweden is/has done so much better. They are well worth the read.
1. No, Australia (and New Zealand) should not follow Swedenâs approach to coronavirus: theconversation.com...
2. Herd immunity in Sweden fails to materialize: medicalxpress.com...
P.S. The latest story, Sweden, which didn't lock down, has worst death toll since 1869 in first half of 2020:
