It is NOT a "fake virus"
It is NOT "just like Flu" (which did not kill 650 working doctors and nurses in 6 months)
It DOES make some people sick enough to die and has killed plenty
Doctors do NOT falsify death certificates to inflate the death numbers or hide the deaths
Health protection measures ARE important (although we can debate which ones and what the trade offs are)
Hospitals are NOT "literally empty/half empty"
GPs ARE open for business & consulting - albeit with less face to face (for very good reasons)
The Swedish comparison is complex
Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany and non Swedish nordic/scandi countries offer other comparisons as do NZ, Aus, Italy, Spain and France

I have only seen Sweden get this much global attention before with Tennis players and Abba
Health protection during a pandemic is NOT just about risk to oneself but to other people in society

Boris Johnson WAS sick and the notion that a load of medics all conspired to pretend that he was is preposterous

There is no credible evidence for various conspiracy theories
e.g. that the virus is being bigged up so that Bill Gates can steal everyone's personal data

Or that it is a plot by the deep state (in several countries) to restrict personal liberty or force everyone to accept vaccination
Meanwhile, there ARE conspiracies with plenty of evidence hiding in plain sight e.g. the compulsive outsourcing of public sector contracts to outsourcing companies and international consultancy and accountancy firms

As we head into 2nd wave, let's combat nonsense
