The WHO declared Sweden to be one of 11 countries in Europe with out of control COVID-19 spread and healthcare on the brink of collapse.

Which is inaccurate. Especially the part about our hospitals. Number of Swedes in need of hospital care are the lowest since the pandemic truly took off and even Stockholm barely got any excess mortality now (Sthlm has 40-something percent of the dead despite just having approx 20% of the Swedish population). It is true that our number of infected are higher than our neighbours but that is not the same as being out of control. We test more than Norway and Finland also. Our hospitals, despite the strain, have always had ICU beds available. Our nursing homes have failed immensely though (hence the high number of dead).

This pissed of our Government and health agencies who wondered why the WHO was spreading lies. Now the WHO admits they were spreading false info.

The correction never gets the same exposure as the original articles though :/

We are using the traditional Swedish word ttestupan. Seen the film Midsommar?

he doesn't have the popular vote, but i'm betting he's got enough supporters in different state legislatures to absolutely fuck over the voting process enough that he could still win.
