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& #39;s mostly harmless & can& #39;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/">https://www.sjukhuslakaren.se/bill-gate...
"Has the world exaggerated the threat?
- Yes, I am considering writing ar article called & #39;A Self-Inflicted Global Catastrophe& #39;. Had we let events develop, it would have been partly over now and we probably wouldn& #39;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& #39;t hurry too much, it& #39;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.
