  One ting everybod gnores right now regardign experts is, that this a novel virus. We don't have any prior exerience or knowledge about it. Wich means incomplete data and potentially wrong data from day one. Making decissions in such cirumstances is incredibly difficult, and I expect every expert to change his mind when the data changes. Does that potential confuse people? Yes. Are experts always right? No. Are they still the best resource we have? Yes.

"Sweden has admitted their strategy is not working." No they did not say that. I suggest taking MSM news with a great pinch of salt.
