And how does that change the statement?

Ummmmm Maybe this is why, lol USA #1 !!!!

"Sweden captured international attention for its decision to buck the trend on mandated shut-ins.

The results are now in as Sweden Has Become the World’s Cautionary Tale.

Not only have thousands more people died than in neighboring countries that imposed lockdowns, but Sweden’s economy has fared little better. “They literally gained nothing,” said Jacob F. Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “It’s a self-inflicted wound, and they have no economic gains.”

Sweden put stock in the sensibility of its people as it largely avoided imposing government prohibitions. The government allowed restaurants, gyms, shops, playgrounds and most schools to remain open. By contrast, Denmark and Norway opted for strict quarantines, banning large groups and locking down shops and restaurants.

More than three months later, the coronavirus is blamed for 5,420 deaths in Sweden, according to the World Health Organization. That might not sound especially horrendous compared with the more than 129,000 Americans who have died. But Sweden is a country of only 10 million people. Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark.

Sweden’s central bank expects its economy to contract by 4.5 percent this year, a revision from a previously expected gain of 1.3 percent."

"368 homes in Berlin were placed into quarantine earlier today after dozens of people tested positive for Covid-19.

The outbreak involves homes across seven different locations and has sparked fears of a second wave of coronavirus.

Dilek Kalayci, Berlin’s top health official, urged people to use the government’s tracing app - which was rolled out today - to help fight against the new outbreak and contain the spread of the virus."

"The coronavirus reproduction rate in the popular French tourist region of Brittany has risen sharply in the last week.

Plans to make face masks compulsory in enclosed public spaces were brought forward on Thursday in the Finistere region of Brittany and Mayenne region near the Loire Valley after concerns over a spike in COVID-19 cases.

Western and southern France, both popular with tourists, were relatively spared during the height of the country's outbreak between March and May.

However, focus has now turned to those regions as the R number - a key measure of how fast coronavirus is spreading - in Brittany rose from 0.92 on 10 July to 2.62 by 14 July.

It means for every person infected with COVID-19, they will pass it on to between two and three other people, with a number of less than one needed to gradually contain the disease.

The number is one of several indicators authorities are watching to decide whether tougher restrictions need to be reimposed after France's lockdown ended in May."

"CORONAVIRUS infections have jumped significantly in eleven areas in England in the last week, data from Public Health England (PHE) has revealed.

Areas such as Pendle in Lancashire suffered the most severe spike in cases up to July 13.

Data from PHE shows cases in terms of per 100,000 of the population.

Other areas with notable jumps include Blackburn with Darwen, which has had an increase of cases from 36.3 to 48.5.

The local council revealed new measures this week in order to prevent it becoming the second area to be forced into local lockdown.

Herefordshire also witnessed a significant increase this week and went from 3.1 to 43.2

This is while Luton went from 14.9 to 27.6.

Peterborough also saw a significant jump and went from 21.4 to 29.3, while Kettering went from 15.8 to 24.7.

Braintree in Essex went from 4.0 to 23.8 while Eastbourne went from 10.4 to 20.4.

Tunbridge Wells went from 3.4 to 15.2 while Broxbourne went from 1.0 to 7.2.

These are the areas where cases have jumped the most in the last week, but other areas at also at risk of entering in a local lockdown.

Leicester was the first place in the UK to go into local lockdown after a spike in cases.

Last night Matt Hancock loosened restrictions for some residents.

Data from PHE showed that Leicester has 99.7 confirmed cases per 100,000.

Leicester's mayor has accused the Government of taking a “sledgehammer approach” after its partial lockdown ease means pubs and restaurants will stay shut.

Sir Peter Soulsby slammed Health Secretary Matt Hancock's decision to keep some restrictions in force across the Labour-run city and Liberal Democrat-controlled Oadby and Wigston suburbs.
Sir Peter said: “I am not surprised by this decision but remain extremely frustrated that a sledgehammer approach is being taken to deal with an issue in a very small part of the city.”

Despite many areas facing local lockdown and significant jumps in others, the Prime Minister is today set to announce measures to help office workers return."
