When crushing the numbers and speaking with relatives in Sweden and Switzerland, it is striking to see that most of the dead counts are in house structures for elderly.
When going deeper, there are 2 parameters that seem to correlate with the dead rates:
1) Sweden is lacking medical employees, therefore the medical education of the staff in these structures is very low. Also the geographical death distribution in the country is a big debate because some reasons could be "hot potato" topic
2) "replacebility" of the elderly: in luxury private structures, the death rate is very low because they protect the one paying the bill (so all the procedures are very strict). In public structures, the gov is paying the bill, and as soon as someone dies, it frees a bed for the next "customer".
My father in law was in a public structure in Sweden and died this year. For several years we saw horrible things: medical staff/procedures does not care about deadly "common" viruses.
