    There is an ongoing investigation of the COVID response. https://coronakommissionen.com/ https://coronakommissionen.com/ https://coronakommissionen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/summary.pdf https://coronakommissionen.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/su... > The Health and Social Care Inspectorate has shown that there was a marked reduction in the number of referrals to hospitals from residential care facilities for the older people during February–June 2020. However, it is hard to establish whether this type of guidelines led to physicians failing to make individual assessments of care need So I gather that even if the health care system was never overloaded, there might have been some confusion in the elderly care that led to mistakes. But to the extent the elderly care system was “overloaded” this has been the case for decades. Not due due to the COVID response. > We have found that elderly care was unprepared and ill-equipped when the pandemic struck and that this was founded in structural shortcomings that were known long before the outbreak of the virus. The ultimate responsibility for these shortcomings rests with the Government in power – and with the previous governments that also possessed this information
