  2. Huh?

    I, for one, support my statements based on credible information/research. Sometimes I provide links to that research, such as the link below:

    https://www.nejm.org/

    There is a lot of information on this site for Covid-19.

    Read up and catch up, you are about 6 months behind, it seems.

    Everyone could brush up on their logic but Jem keeps making emotional and silly statements.. He has lost his marbles.

  6. Oh, I definitely need a lot of help. Obvious to all. However, your reasoning seems disconnected from weighing facts and putting together a reasonable conclusion based upon on those facts. This suggests to me you are either impaired in some way or are in a highly emotional state right now. I know you have or at least had the ability to reason based on some of your solid points in other posts.

    So please take a few breaths before responding, if you choose to do so, and remember I am a friend and we are all in this together.

    He adds that many talk about Covid-19 deaths but few discuss how many die each day from alcohol abuse or suicide. “A bad economy where people lose their income will cause social problems. Politicians need to recognise that closing down the economy will have negative effects,” he says. The evidence from shops and cafés in Gothenburg that have stayed open throughout the pandemic is more mixed. A waiter at Cappuccino, a café in the city centre, says: “It’s generally been quieter but now the days are warmer it’s the same. It’s back to usual — it’s kind of strange.” In the evening, bars nearby are packed and young men are drinking beer while playing crazy golf. “I’m scared this is a bit too normal,” says one woman, trying to get her newborn baby to sleep in a pram. In Bergsjon, where wages are lower and unemployment higher, shops are suffering more — a sign that a lack of a lockdown is not enough to keep the economy going when people are afraid of the virus. At Tintin’s hair salon, one of the hairdressers says business has more than halved. “We hope it comes back but people are scared. There’s a lot of infection here. We are afraid soon it could be like Italy,” he says. The woman behind the counter at Horsed Beauty, a local clothes shop, adds: “It’s slow. There are not so many people because of corona.”


    Before brings up a silly doomer like GWB comments.... realize it's easier for a economy to grow faster off a lower low... so of course a projection would be higher. But these are projections. They are models... they may not be accurate.

    and with this I am going to the beach for a vacation. I will be logging out. Good luck... stay healthy...

    the price of freedom is vigilance

    And against their peer nations, Denmark, Norway, Finland.. they killed a lot more people for very small economic & epidemiological benefit. Oh and now they are not allowed to travel so their economic numbers will be worse than their peer nations soon. Good post Jem.

    Sweden Tries Out a New Status: Pariah State
    Fearing the country’s lax approach to combating the coronavirus, Sweden’s Scandinavian neighbors have all closed their borders to Swedes
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/world/europe/sweden-coronavirus-pariah-scandinavia.html

    Every summer for the past 13 years, fans of Nordic culture have gathered on the Norway side of the border with Sweden for the outdoor festival Allsang pa Grensen, which translates roughly to, “Singsong Along the Border.”

    But this summer, there will not be any Swedish singers in the live broadcast event, nor will there be any Swedish fans in the audience, singing and clapping along. This year, Swedes are forbidden to enter Norway.

    And Norway isn’t the only Scandinavian neighbor barring Swedes from visiting this summer. Denmark and Finland have also closed their borders to Swedes, fearing that they would bring new coronavirus infections with them.

    While those countries went into strict lockdowns this spring, Sweden famously refused, and now has suffered roughly twice as many infections and five times as many deaths as the other three nations combined, according to figures compiled by The New York Times.

    While reporting differences can make comparisons inexact, the overall trend is clear, as is Sweden’s new status as Scandinavia’s pariah state.

    “We will miss the Swedes this year,” said Ole Evenrud, a Norwegian pop star who goes under the stage name “Ole i’Dole,” or Ole the Idol, and is a regular performer at the festival in Halden, a Norwegian border town. “But I’m OK with the borders being closed. We have been pretty clever about the way we handled corona.”

    Sweden now doing better than US in daily deaths per million
    Sweden daily death rate is going down. Unfortunately, according to this data the US is going up.


    So GWB and the moron media were telling us to expect the death apocalypse in Sweden.

    Now they are telling us there will be an apocalypse in the US.
