Well, other than your name/avatar both your speech style and content are very trump like. The over-inflated ego, the use of hyperbole, the arrogance, the simple mistakes. They're all there. It's fair to assume you're just satirising trump, because that's exactly how it looks.

Underlined: Describing a lot of the posts here, including some of mine, in fact, describing a lot of what's been said in the past few months everywhere. Humans oaught to give each the benefit of the doubt in these certain times because most of us are bound to say something incredibly stupid at one point especially that when we didn't have enough data and had to rely on foreign biased reports. 

With said, trumpstyle ought to celebrate because:

Sweden is a model for the new coronavirus normal, says WHO

Not that I trust WHO but it's an increasingly adopted infatuation among experts and doctors from all over the world, so yeah..

That was taken out of context.

Yes, the WHO praised Sweden - as a model on how life could go on after the lockdown. It didn't praise Sweden's handling of things, and both Micheal Ryan (the official from the WHO who praised Sweden) and Dr Tegnell (The epidemiologist behind the plan in Sweden) acknowledged that it didn't work out the way he hoped. Here's the quote:

“I think there may be lessons to be learned from our colleagues in Sweden. To me it looks like a lot of the exit strategies that are being discussed look very much like what Sweden is already doing.”

Basically, Sweden counts as a model of the new normal after the lockdowns from the Coronavirus, but their handling of the virus proper didn't get, and wasn't worthy of praise.
