    So where is your evidence refuting this. I provided the information including the studies.

    your only evidence of this is that 40% of sailors at a particular point in time did not have antibodies.

    That does not mean they could not get antibodies in the future and it certainly does not stand for that fact that 40 percent of the general population can't get antibodies.

    you are lying about the science again....

    Leftist Idiots normally jump at the first article/story that suits their needs. My Aunt used to tell me that the first 2 or 3 news reports are always wrong and/or incomplete. I didn't think about it much at age 7, but as I get older, I realize just how right she was. The interesting thing was that she was a Democrat----my how times have changed.

    Don't send your kids to school - Sweden will come take them from you!

    No-lockdown Sweden is compelling parents to send their children to school. Some fear their kids could ultimately be taken away if they refuse.

    • Sweden has kept schools open for children under 15, part of its policy of avoiding a widespread lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
    • Its policy is that students must physically attend school in almost all circumstances, including students with conditions that some evidence suggests may make them more at risk of catching COVID-19.
    • Business Insider spoke to parents across Sweden who are disobeying the rules to keep their kids home.
    • Many say local officials have threatened to involve social services if the parents do not relent and send their children to school.
    • Some parents say their ultimate fear is having their children taken away.
    • Swedish officials told Business Insider they would not usually resort to such an extreme measure, though did not deny that it is a possibility.
    Sweden is compelling parents to keep sending their children to school — including students with conditions that some evidence suggests may make them more at risk of catching COVID-19 — as part of its policy to avoid a fullscale lockdown in response to the coronavirus.

    While school systems in other countries have ceased or greatly restricted in-person learning, Sweden says that anyone under 15 should keep going to school. There are almost no exceptions.

    Some parents have refused to comply, sparking a stand-off with state officials.

    They worry this could eventually end with their children being taken away — the ultimate reprisal from the government — though officials stress that this would only happen in extreme scenarios.

    Business Insider spoke to seven parents and teachers across Sweden, many of whom have decided to keep their children home despite instructions from the government to the contrary.

    For some, it is their children who they believe are at elevated risk for COVID-19, while others consider themselves vulnerable and fear their children could bring the disease home.

    In each case, Business Insider contacted officials responsible for the child's education, but none offered a response by the time of publication.

    Mikaela Rydberg and Eva Panarese are both mothers in Stockholm who are keeping their children home.

    Ryberg's son Isac, who is eight years old, has cerebral palsy and suffers badly from respiratory illnesses. Rydberg said he had been hospitalized before with colds and flu.

    However, her efforts to persuade his school that he should be kept home to shield from COVID-19 have not been successful.

    Swedish health officials do not consider children as a group to be at risk from the coronavirus — even children like Isac. As this is the official advice, doctors have declined to give Isac a medical exemption from school.

    Instead, Rydberg has kept him home since March against the school's instructions, which she said prompted local government officials to tell her that they may have to involve social services.

    Children are not at risk and need to be back in school. Vulnerable folks should be more careful. Don't touch your face. These are pretty simple instructions. I imagine even you could follow them.

    Children with health conditions are not at risk.... why don't you go tell their families and doctors that.... or even better go visit the graves of children already killed by COVID-19 & then go explain to their parents how they were not at risk.

    Sweden's COVID public health policy sucks so bad that other nations will not open up their borders to them.

    Sweden is on the cutting edge and is primed to be in a better state than most of the world during re-opening etc. The percentage of deaths worlwide that are of people under the age of 20 is .3 percent. Children are not at risk. Elderly folks are at risk. The rest of the world outside of the elderly just need to get back to normal. The elderly and vulnerable just need to be careful. Get Right.

    Shunned by its Nordic neighbors for its coronavirus strategy, Sweden says there are ‘wounds that will take time to heal’
    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/17/swe...dic-travel-area-swedens-foreign-minister.html
    • Sweden has been excluded from a lifting of travel restrictions between its Nordic neighbors Finland, Denmark and Norway.
    • Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde told CNBC that she had “mixed feelings” about the Nordics’ attitude toward her country currently, and that the move to exclude her country could damage relations.
