@BernhardWarner you are free to believe in all fairy tales Tegnell tells you, but check the facts before you write for @FortuneMagazine so you don't make yourself a fool.
1. Tegnell is not "Sweden's top virologist". He is not a virologist but physician.

2. "Sweden has seen a remarkable turnaround. New daily cases are down to multi-month lows."
The secret behind this "remarkable turnaround" is: No tests, no cases, no deaths.
To hide the spread Sweden drastically reduced the number of tests and changed the way or reporting.

Sweden is the only country in Europe and one of few in the 
who didn't reach the mitigation target in testing - should test 4x more, 315 not 75, and for suppression target 1,156, 15x
more
It means WE HAVE NO IDEA about the spread, data not reliable.

To hide the spread Sweden changed the way reporting. It looks better if you report the number of samples tested instead of people tested. You can see that if you compare to Poland who report both - number of samples always higher then people tested.

To hide the spread Sweden drastically reduced the number of tests. Tests were increasing until week 28 (July 6-12), FHM/PHA informed the public that it's increasing and then tests started to decrease. Week 31: 52,959 tests, the lowest number since May.

To hide the spread Sweden implemented strategic testing.
For suppression or mitigation goal one should test more in regions with the highest spread. If you want to hide the spread you test more in regions with low spread which gives better numbers - lower spread.

It's important to look at tests relative to the outbreak. Many Europeans countries now do hundreds of tests per each case of COVID-19 they confirm.
Sweden confirms a case in every 37th test.

3. "Hospital admissions are close to zero"
Yes. If you can't breathe and call the ambulans: "take an Alvedon and open the window"
36 at ICU = 0,05% of 68,263 of active cases
214 at hospital = 0,3% of active cases
5% require ICU, 10% hospitalization

In one of the richest countries in the world, with one of the highest taxes people die because they are denied health care.
41% of closed cases died, the highest in the world. Risk to die of covid-19 in Sweden is 8x higher than in neighborhood countries

4. "just 44 Swedes died of COVID-19 in the past seven days"
Comparing to neighborhood countries is not "just".
Deaths/1 M people:
Sweden 570 - the sixth highest in the world
Denmark 106
Finland 60
Norway 47

Sweden has a reporting delay of at least three weeks, so their death curve is always decreasing.

But the main reason for decreasing is that Sweden go in lockdown every year from Midsummer and eight weeks until schools start last week in August.

5. Masks.
Sweden's agenda is to get everyone infected. Mask are not recommended as they protect from spreading the virus.

Swedish authorities claim that children don't spread the virus and don't get sick which is not true.

Sweden kept its primary schools open but they can't say anything about COVID-19 transmission in schools because they didn't study it.

Children under 17 yo are denied covid-19 test so they are invisible in statistics.
One of few cases of corona among children which had reached the media. The mother was fighting for weeks to get the child tested.

How Sweden achieve the goal to maintain social distance "by winning the people over" can everyone see.

The focus has been on confirmed cases and deaths, but after 4 months
680,000 sick now
1,125,000 adults think they are/have been infected
260 000 sick >10 weeks
How many
will recover/die?
with long-term symptoms, permanent damages?
children?
after 1 year?
We have no idea

Tegnell: "The trust for the agency is high"
The agency lies to the public to get people infected. And people trust them because journalists like you @BernhardWarner are their megaphone, spreading lies instead of reporting the truth.
It is such a shame.
