Covid-19__The Swedish scientist that old people love

It is evident that the 33 questions interview (published today in a Portuguese newspaper) of Johan Giesecke, the 70 years old scientist who advises the Government of Sweden will displease many, especially when he says that in a year the number of dead will end up being almost the same in all European countries, but it will be very well received by the elderly after reading the part:
"I don't know what's going on in Portugal, but a lot of older people in Sweden think they have to stay indoors and never go out. I think that is very stupid. Take an hour-long walk every morning. Do not mingle with other people... But don't stay indoors all day ".

P.S1 - Of course, there is a small part of the interview that will leave old people with their hair standing up: "it is not possible to prevent the virus from entering the rooms of older people" it is important to remember, however, that he is talking about those elders who are in nursing homes, because in these it seems almost impossible to prevent caregivers from taking the virus inside.

P.S2 - However, it is necessary to bear in mind that there is a debatable (and futurological) assumption in the scientist's argument, that the discovery of the vaccine will take at least a year and a half.
