    This is the point. if you want to destroy entire economies and their populations - it’s easy. Fuck seal it up completely like the Chinese did their citizens in private apartments. Seal it up! Doing good work there.

    you lie about being american
    you lie about trading
    you lie about so many things...
    why you have the balls to comment about anyone's integrity is beyond understanding.
    you are Donald Trump of ET, without any of his success or positive attributes.

    No, that's you, I'm not actually a narcissist/sociopath like you Jem. You would be surprised, for example I spent the afternoon sewing massive lengths of thin medical tubing into a padded mattress topper so an elderly neighbour of my mother-in-law could have an automatically temperature regulated bed using a water heater and micropump, she is afraid of electric blankets (fire years ago) so I did this for her because I'm happy to help anyone who is decent.

    Leaving and coming back is fine, no problems with leaving people to figure it out if that amuses but.. You were caught straight away because you came back to a thread you were active in, trying to weavel in your failed and hopelessly flawed arguments as someone else because what? You thought we were not agreeing with your non-logic because it was Jem but Gnus would be different?

    Well we passed the test, sniffed you out very fast and of course, we disagree with you because you are hopelessly wrong gnus or jem.

    as the Narcissist in chief her at ET its not surprising you would think you get to make the rules for when you can change handles.
    The funny thing is that you just made up a bunch of useless bullshit... and you probably actually believe you graced us with something worth reading.

    And, I suppose you would think your change for slartidiot to bugenwrongen was the properly done.

    Jem, I did not make the rules, normal minded people did this, its the sense of fairness the neurological normal have, you won't understand it.

    You came back in to an active discussion to try and cheat.

    Finally some good sense out there--and it's what we've said all along
    https://www.scotsman.com/health/cor...g-herd-immunity-arguments-and-against-2995780
    Some scientists have called for a return to 'life as normal' using herd immunity - the arguments for and against
    Those least vulnerable to the effects of coronavirus should be permitted to "resume life as normal", some experts have said in a new joint message.

    The declaration, named the Great Barrington declaration, was authored by Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, and Martin Kulldorff of Harvard University, and has garnered over 40,000 signatures from around the world.

    All elective surgeries and nonessential treatments are already postponed...

    Swedish city considers early restaurant closures amid 'very worrying' rise in cases
    https://www.thelocal.se/20201007/sw...res-amid-very-worrying-rise-in-covid-19-cases

    Over the past week, 303 new cases were reported in the Uppsala region, up from 132 the previous week. This makes it the region with the fastest spread of the virus in Sweden.

    "We can see a general spread of Covid-19 in all age groups," said regional healthcare director Mikael Köhler.

    He pointed out that although there had not yet been an increase in deaths linked to the virus, this was likely if it continues to spread at a high rate in the population and reaches vulnerable groups – the elderly and those with multiple illnesses.

    The temporary stop on non-essential treatments at the Uppsala University Hospital was introduced on Tuesday after two separate departments at the hospital reported clusters of the virus among staff, but planned care had resumed by the following day. No patients were reported to have been infected and none of the staff members were seriously ill with the virus.

    At a press conference on Wednesday, the region's infectious disease doctor Johan Nöjd said that "it cannot be stressed enough" how important individual choices are in determining the course of the pandemic.

    "For better or worse, it is very much the individual that has an impact. You can have wider societal measures, buses can traffic more routes, in theory you can close pubs and restaurants, at workplaces you can mark where people can sit, but in some ways everything falls apart if the individuals later in the evening still have social events, go to parties, sit with their bandy or hockey team in a crowded bus and socialise intensely;" he commented.

    The closure of restaurants had been raised previously by councillor Malin Sjöberg Högrell, who said that the signs in the region were "pointing in the wrong direction", adding that "this is very worrying".

    She said that meetings had been underway between the region's infectious disease doctor and the Public Health Agency to discuss whether local restrictions should be introduced to curb the spread of the virus.

    "It is possible that restaurants will be required to close at 11pm. But no one knows if that will stop the spread or if it will just lead to parties at home," wrote Sjöberg Högrell in a Facebook post.

    Unlike other countries, Sweden never ordered restaurants or shops to close as part of a lockdown to limit the disease's spread, but there are measures in place at restaurants including one-metre distancing between tables.

    The Public Health Agency has said that any future measures will likely be introduced regionally in response to local outbreaks. The agency's general director Johan Carlson has said that these measures could include limits on the size of groups that may meet, or recommendations not to go to the shops except for food.

    Student parties have been named as a possible cause of clusters of the virus, after many young people returned to university and in some cases face-to-face teaching in September.

    But councillor Sjöberg Högrell warned that blame cannot be placed entirely on any one demographic.

    "The increase of Covid-19 is most prominent for those between 20-29 years of age but the increase can be seen in all age groups. So even if people blame student parties, that is not the only reason that the virus continues to spread. We have a broad transmission of the virus in all age groups," she stated.

    "The danger is far from over. The pandemic is far from over. Protect each other and take care of one another. It is the choices that you and I make today that determine the load on our healthcare system in two to three weeks."

    She added that infections were also increasing in elderly care homes, with confirmed cases at three such facilities and contact tracing under way.

    There are 25 people in the Uppsala region currently receiving hospital care for Covid-19, including three in intensive care.
