I can't pick that statement apart, in fact I think if we adopted SWEDEN's strategy we might have hit those numbers or exceeded them. Not that SWEDEN's strategy was really wrong, but really wrong for us. It is more than obvious some officials are not able to step up when we really need them to be effective instead of power hungry fools for politics.

You make zero sense.

WE ARE DOING SWEDEN'S STRATEGY....RIGHT NOW! We delayed it for 4-5 months, which was the height of stupidity...

Is everyone brain dead? Serious question.

SWEDEN'S STRATEGY is nothing close to this. To be in effect "SWEDEN'S STRATEGY" we would have had to do from the start, end to end identical to which this is not. Sweden does not have as many bona fide self serving officials per square mile.

Sweden's no-lockdown strategy is beginning to look like less of an outlier, but still doesn't compare well to other countries.

Whatever you guys say. Keep denying reality.

The reality is...Sweden's COVID-19(84) associated illnesses and deaths are largely behind them at this point in time.

BUT, we LOCKED DOWN for MONTHS (when it was only supposed to be a few weeks at the start)....thus we ONLY DELAYED THE INEVITABLE...which is happening now...

It's very simple.

But people, instead, wanted to take every political advantage they could....thus we're getting what we got...which is nothing but a giant box of everlasting shite.

You have a memory like a sieve.

As I told you one hundred times, that was an early estimate without any mitigation efforts. Maybe you should shove your bananas where the sun don't shiner and go back to school

My post #6683...

Sweden should be compared to other Scandinavian countries. Where population density, health care systems, and the predominance of single occupant homes are similar, but lock down and mitigation were totally different.

Sweden is almost 10x worse


Cumulative number of coronavirus (COVID-19) deaths in the Nordic countries (as of August 10, 2020)
Number of deaths
Sweden 5,766
Denmark 620
Finland** 333
Norway 256

To use a "boxcar".....


Why didn't you bring up Brazil or Mexico, where lock downs were minimal and they are much worse than here?

Coronavirus in Europe: Infections surge in France, Germany and Spain

It's not just the U.S., whenever a place "opens up," cases go up. Germany, France, Spain, Greece even Italy. Not Sweden because they haven't opened their borders yet.

Led mainly by young people.

Maybe YOU should try to post like a civilized adult and stop with the suspicious obsession with butts.

But that is the point - with no mitigation. So you have one of two options now - who is responsible for the mitigation - Trump of the states. If it is Trump, then he did a GREAT job. If it is the states, they are doing a terrible job now as the virus is on the rise, as you point out 3-400 times a day.

So munch on that for awhile, Murtle.

Can't have it both ways, dah-ling!

Well I don't see change in that, liberal policy is the number one contributing factor.

You really don't get it, do you?

Whatever YOU THINK you might have PREVENTED by LOCKING DOWN for MONTHS...you're GETTING NOW. Period. End of story.

It doesn't matter. Period.
