Swedish scientist says strict lockdowns are wrong and can't be maintained - Prof Johan Giesecke

The country that has gone against the trend of locking down their citizens to prevent the spread of Covid-19 is Sweden. It is facing a rash of criticism for their approach, but their scientific adviser, an eminent virologist, professor Johan Giesecke insists that lockdowns are not the right policy to follow. In a straight talking interview with British website, UnHerd, Prof Giesecke said he believed that the British lockdown was based on “rather debatable” data and that strict measures are a problem as you can’t lock people up for extended periods in democracies. He also believes the novel coronavirus fatality rate is closer to 0.1%. - Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
