Sweden euthanising elderly corvid care home residents

I think it was a universal problem at the heart of the epidemic, we weren't allowed to send our elderly out of care homes into hospital either, and if they were in pain, they would have been given morphine to relieve it as there was nothing else care homes were allowed to do. Remember the problem Italy had too, with many people denied intensive care.

There is a media desire to bash Sweden as punishment for not locking down. They had the same results as those countries that did, and that is hard to explain.

None of us can be proud of the way we handled CV-19 and care homes, it was appalling world wide.

Have a look at this one from the BBC instead MaizieD www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52704836

And from what I understand, many of our care homes weren't even able to give any palliative care, they just had to let their residents die...

I'm not altogether sure why you're raising this...

It's behind a paywall, GagaJo.

I really can't pay a subscription just to read the occasional interesting article...

I also read a Swedish article translated by Google. Much more scathing (can’t find it now).

Yes, where did you read it? Palliative care is used in terminal diseases when there is no cure for a patient's worsening condition, but euthanasia is a step further and a serious charge if unfounded.

Can you give a link to article? I had heard something about this before. I have a son living in Sweden and if I had a bit more information I'd ask him if he knew anything about it. His SiL is a nurse and it seems conditions for nurses there are very stressful.

Where did you read this ?
