I have good news for you. It’s a kind of bottled northern light, and I can’t wait to share it. A bottle of life, brought to you from one of the dullest yet most joyous and riveting press conferences I ever watched.
Never before has “nothing happened” been a bigger story.
The press conference was on the website of the Swedish Health Ministry, posted April 22, and ran just over 45 minutes.
The “controversial” health minister of Sweden, Anders Tegnell, and colleagues revealed the latest results of the Sweden Covid model which—as we all know— did not lockdown, did not quarantine.

Listening to the press conference (twice), and transcribing every word, was like watching paint dry. And with each passing moment, the story became clearer and clearer to me:
Sweden can save the world right now.
It’s not easy to get the real story out of Sweden. You will see many histrionic headlines from international media claiming Sweden is headed straight over a cliff, led by a maniacal health minister, Anders Tegnell, from Folkhalsomyndigheten, (FHM, The People’s Health Authority). Call these voices “Corona Davidians”—a kind of secular doomsday cult.
Sweden is known for her isolationist, cautious and non-continental tendencies. Interestingly, no country is more closely associated with the fetish for safety (trygghet, in Swedish) than this Scandinavian power-country. So for Sweden to do this—it’s truly an unexpected plot twist. Many of us have been watching the numbers coming out of Sweden, especially this last week, as though our lives depended on it. And maybe they do. But will anybody ferry the Swedish good news to the President of the United States?
I grew up in Sweden, am half Swedish and speak the language fluently. Were this not the case I would not be able to report the facts as I do here. There would only be statistics which people are perverting and inverting in the name of Corona hysteria. By listening to entire press conferences, you get the whole picture.
Here is the essence of it:
