Yep they just dont care, or dont have the IQ to understand. This is just sad as not only are they killing themselves but killing others and Sweden is using up resources to treat them. Its called self infecting to spread the virus
Quote:The authorities' information on corona in languages other than Swedish was too poor - and came too late.
According to Swedish-Somali imam Hussein Farah at the Islamic Cultural Center's Mosque in Rinkeby after the alarm that six of the fifteen people who died of the virus in Stockholm were Swedish Somalis.
According to several employees at one of the hospitals in Stockholm, the proportion of foreign-born among those cared for by the corona virus is high.

Six of fifteen dead in covid-19 in Stockholm are Swedish Somalis. It is now alerting the Medical Association, reports SVT .
- Most had underlying illnesses. But a man in his 60s, who passed away yesterday, made a very prosperous impression, even though we do not know his medical history. Many were shocked when they learned that he had died, says physician Jihan Mohamed, board member of the Swedish Medical Association, to the channel.
Several of those who died were living in the Järva area. There, the mood has been troubled in recent weeks, as several have had difficulty in acquiring the information about the virus from the authorities - which existed almost exclusively in Swedish and English.
- People are shocked and worried. Many of them are grieving relatives now, says Hussein Farah.
He is an imam at the Culture Center's Mosque in Rinkeby, where almost all the business has now been closed down to reduce the spread of infection. The mosque has recently been called down by troubled people who have not been able to speak Swedish well enough to be able to absorb the authorities' advice on the corona virus.
Recently, a Somali-speaking doctor was chosen to bring the virus to visitors who wondered. Even before the prayers have been given information, says Hussein Farah.
Official information is missing in other languages
Just over a week ago , Expressens Frida Sundkvist wrote about the flawed official information about the corona virus that was available in languages other than Swedish. Most regions only have information in Swedish and sometimes English, and the Public Health Agency itself had only a pdf file called "information to travelers" and a leaflet about washing hands in languages that many people speak in Sweden - for example, Arabic, Dari and Somali.
This has meant that many have been outside the huge flow of information sent out every day in Swedish.
- Many have come to us. We have been told that they must go home, not visit their elderly and what to do to stop the virus, says Hussein Farah.
Distribution in confined areas
- We knew about corona when it was in China, and then in South Korea and then Italy. But then there was still no information in other languages. Now it's better, but it's too late. The information would have come much earlier, it would have saved lives, Hussein Farah continues.
There are more problems: in the Järva area, where many people come from, many live in crowded areas, which increases the risk of spreading infection. Beyond that, they often spend time and cross the generational boundaries, Hussein Farah says:
- When many people live together, and are of different ages, there will be problems when working from home. There are not many stores here either, there are many people staying on a limited area.
He believes that Sweden must unite in the fight and be helped to stop the spread of the virus.
- We all sit in the same seat. All employees in healthcare work and struggle with everything they have in intensive care and other departments, we have to help with what we can to give everyone information so they can do everything to stop the infection.

Care staff: "A very poor development"
Several of the staff at a Stockholm hospital describe to Expressen how the proportion of foreign-born is high among those currently being cared for in the care and intensive care units.
A doctor who works with caring for coronary-infected patients says that several of the seriously ill people who were cared for in his department were from the same area and had a foreign background.
- There have been several seriously ill people from the same area in Spånga. So surely it can be true that there are many Somalis.
According to what the doctor heard, but cannot confirm, there are indications that the virus may have spread on a Friday prayer a few weeks ago.
- But if you want to speculate, this is a very bad development. They live close, even when they are sick.
- It is more common for several generations to live together in apartments, which has made the elderly more exposed to the risk of being infected. In addition, smoking is more common and public health is often inferior to older native Swedes, says another doctor.
The politician's words want to see information sheets
Mohamed Nuur, chairman of the Social Democrats in Tensta, is alarmed by the alarm about the situation for Swedish-Somalis.
- This is heartbreaking and puts me in a panic that this could be prevented if the translation in different languages took place at an early stage, because the Public Health Authority started translating only a few days ago and everyone - especially the target group - is not familiar with the website or social media.
Nuur now wants the Swedish Agency for Social Protection and Preparedness, MSB, to send out information sheets via mail in different languages to ensure that the information is accessible to everyone.
- No one should risk losing their life due to lack of information or failure to master the language of the majority society.
On Tuesday, the question of the Swedish armies was raised at a press conference where several heads of government were present. Morgan Olofsson, communications director at MSB, said:
- We have been too poor at getting information out to everyone, says Olofsson.
After our review of the authorities' lack of information in several languages, Expressen has published information on the virus in both Arabic and Somali. You can read the texts below
