![Fact checking claims about lockdown (and Sweden)
CORRECTIONS:
@7:05 I said papers published in the Lancet reached the opposite conclusion. In fact they didnt say mortality is reduced through lockdown, only that the rate of infection is reduced. See the correction video linked, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WQLnjegW4E
@7:11 I show a paper that concludes [Lockdowns] were associated with reductions in R... and lifting internal movement limits were associated with increases of R.
In fact that screenshot comes from a different Lancet paper, The temporal association of introducing and lifting non-pharmaceutical interventions with the time-varying reproduction number (R) of SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study across 131 countries.
The paper shown at 7:11 concludes: Lockdown therefore appears to
have been successful not only in alleviating the burden on the intensive
care units of the two most severely affected regions of France, but also in preventing uncontrolled epidemics in other regions.
@8:27 - Koch should be pronounced coke in the USA.
@14:07 - I said most Swedes live alone. I should have said most households are only one person.
@16:04 & 18:52 - This is an old news article. For an article about the grounding of Swedish aircraft due to Covid-19, see https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/coronavirus-flight-cancelled-airline-suspended-austrian-lot-polish-sas-a9404886.html
@18:20 - I said the Swedish healthcare system is free. In fact there is a small charge. Swedes in the forum say the cost of an intensive care bed is about $12 a day. This compares with hundreds of dollars in the USA.
@19:59 I show the page for Sweden instead of Norway. See https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/norway for the correct page.
