As in other European countries, the infection in Sweden has increased in recent weeks. On Friday, a record 5,990 corona cases were recorded in Sweden and 42 new deaths were recorded in one day.
Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell and the handling of the pandemic by the Public Health Authority, which has relied heavily on voluntary recommendations and measures, has been controversial in Sweden.
Criticized Tegnell – escaped from Sweden
High confidence record
However, a new survey by Dagens Nyheter / Ipsos shows that the trust of the Swedish people in the Public Health Authority is increasing to record levels. Confidence in Anders Tegnell is increasing at the same rate.
Now Alex Schulman, author and commentator for Expressen, strongly opposes the results and denies that they can be correct, because “an authority with forecasts that have been largely one hundred percent wrong gets such high credibility figures.”
Schulman believes that the Public Health Agency and Tegnell have been wrong most of the time and that “with so many mistakes, it’s easy to listen to anyone.”

“They could take in the octopus that guessed the World Cup results and let him decide the strategies. Or why not let the horoscope decide?
The commentator refers to the octopus Paul, who correctly predicted that Spain would win the 2010 FIFA World Cup and was awarded oracle status.
– Almost creepy
The tirade continues:
“What FHM (Folkhälsomyndigheten, editor’s note) has done in the last month, is actually almost disturbing, how they have managed to make mistakes so clinically, without exception, time and time again. They have been without self-criticism, made mistakes with such weight that it was suspected that there was a kind of anger in the background, like a furious instinct: we must be wrong at all costs, writes Schulman.

Remember the days in April when Public Health Agency adviser Jonas Giesecke warned that the Swedes were only weeks away from herd immunity, without it happening.
“(…) and a month later the same forecasts returned, herd immunity is only a few weeks away, and we were confused with hope again, because we felt that with the promised herd immunity, we as a nation can finally reap the fruits of a spring It would be serious, because now we are on the other side of the pandemic (…), ”the commentator wrote indignantly.
– Needs an extra effort
Critical for the mask
Unlike other European countries, Sweden has kept schools, bars and restaurants open. Until recently, people without symptoms were not quarantined, according to Science, even though other family members were infected.
State epidemiologist Tegnell remains critical of the use of face masks.
“The countries that use masks are not the ones that do better now,” he recently told Science, warning against over-belief in masks.
