I thought Johan Giesecke, also called the brain behind the Swedish strategy, had by now realised he was wrong when comparing COVID-19 to the flu, saying it's mostly harmless & can't be stopped. But no, he says in Sjukhusläkaren it should be let to spread. https://www.sjukhuslakaren.se/bill-gates-underskattade-de-politiska-svarigheterna/

"Has the world exaggerated the threat?
- Yes, I am considering writing ar article called 'A Self-Inflicted Global Catastrophe'. Had we let events develop, it would have been partly over now and we probably wouldn't have lost particularly many lives."

When he says it would have been almost over now, he is referring to a global herd immunity.

"Have we learnt something from the pandemic?

- Yes, I think so. I think one should wait before making a decision. One shouldn't hurry too much, it's not that big of a hurry. I think politicians around the world have mismanaged this."

"What do you wish the world would do now?

- Come out of lockdowns so quickly as possible and try to protect the old and the frail as well as they can."

Johan Giesecke is a consultant to the Public Health Agency of Sweden, leading Sweden to a catastrophic failure where the old and the frail have been the first to suffer and die by thousands - without being anywhere near the herd immunity he said Sweden would reach by mid-May.
