No, it’s not true that the early part of the pandemic caused the majority of the deaths. All the deaths after the peak are more than all the deaths before the peak, so you can’t say that the huge amount of deaths have been caused early on by the authority in charge of the elderly homes.
- pastrami_panda 6y agoThere's a huge delay, someone doesn't contract corona and just die. Especially not in a country with good medical care. It's hard to say for sure, if you compare 2019 there were 10.000 elderly who died in elderly homes. This year it was 11.000. I'm not sure how the data was prior to that, but regardless a couple of thousand cases is a lot when the total is 5800.
- tigershark 6y agoDeaths percentage in Finland and Norway for the elderly homes was higher than in Sweden as far as I remember. But they have an abysmal number of deaths/M compared to Sweden. So the elderly homes deaths can’t be an important contributing factor in the Swedish total deaths number.
- perl4ever 6y ago>abysmal number of deaths/M compared to Sweden Are you referring to a relatively low death rate as "abysmal"? This might make sense from a certain perspective but it's confusing in English.
