I don't care about you.. much. I find you a bit of challenge because you have a nice twist to some of your argumentation. You make me think before I respond... because you have the brain power to catch a mistake and hammer it. ( As opposed to nine_morons.) You keep me from closing positions when I have a little bit of profit or when I am looking at charts.
Glad to help. I retired with over 30 million bucks after taxes trading for under six years. Now I make blades. Trading is fun but bad for the heart and your are sitting down too much. By stating that I claim the high ground of I'm rich therefore I'm smart fallacy. Actually I'm just a really good project and team manager. I take my aggression out on you so the people who made me money don't suffer.
How Sweden Screwed Up https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/coronavirus-covid-sweden-herd-immunity.html Back in February, as the coronavirus started rapidly spreading worldwide, Sweden’s state epidemiologist didn’t see the need to lock down the country. A lot of Swedes started to fly all over Europe for their annual winter break. The country’s public health leaders insisted on keeping businesses and primary schools open while the rest of the world shut them down. Face masks were constantly discouraged. Months later, Sweden now has one of the highest death rates from the coronavirus in all of Europe. Its hands-off approach to COVID has been disastrous, and shockingly, it’s still unclear whether Sweden’s policy will change course. (More at above url)
There could be myraid reasons for this but as the shutdown states like CA and others are ramping up... Sweden looks to be done with Covid deaths... on the official site... where worldometer gets its data... you can see lately its only have 1 or 2 deaths from Covid a day. That to me is massive success and completely counter to the bullshit the doomers were predicting. Note... for the purposes of success I am not counting the early deaths before they locked down the old folks homes against them. That was not part of their model that we will not be copying that going forward. Avlidna per dag... https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa
You have been so wrong about this no wonder you feel the need to cast insults. Sweden shows this you and your team of scared doomers to be morons. Scared of data... scared to success without massive government mandated shutdowns. All you have left is to talk about the deaths that happened early in the crisis before they shutdown old folks homes. --- Since the Middle of April deaths per day in Sweden have come down so far they are close to zero and they have zero excess deaths. We should be cautiously celebrating the idea we can be Covid be beaten without shutting down. Instead you all are doing all you can to bad mouth Sweden. And what is the alternative...Gavin Newsom's ineffective shutdown. The one all the lefties were marveling at... because he shutdown so early?
Lower infections... 1 daily death from Covid in Sweden yesterday... Let me just put it out there. It's time we discuss the potential for herd immunity in Stockholm? As the experts begin to speculate that parts of New York and London may have herd immunity. Could the people of Stockholm have it too? If you follow the recent science and developments on the herd immunity thread... 1. They could have enough antibodies per the new models which show non heterogeneous populations could have herd immunity at far less than 50%. 2. We could also have twice as many people or more having T cell and immune system memory that lets them fight the infection so fast they are not infectious for long if at all. 3. We could also have part of the population naturally immune for other reasons. They were discouraged from wearing masks in Sweden. They did not shut down... and since they isolated they old folks.. They performed as well or better than shutdown populations... Sjukdomsfall per dag - cases per day Avlidna per dag - deaths per day https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/09f821667ce64bf7be6f9f87457ed9aa
Sure does change the narrative on Sweden. Why Sweden Succeeded in “Flattening the Curve” and New York Failed The reason New York failed to "flatten the curve" and Sweden succeeded probably has little to do with lockdowns. Wednesday, July 15, 2020 Coronavirus deaths have slowed to a crawl in Sweden. With the exception of a single death on July 13, no deaths in this nation of 10 million have been reported since July 10. But the debate over Sweden’s approach to the COVID-19 pandemic, which relied on individual responsibility instead of government coercion to maintain social distancing, is far from over. Last week, The New York Timeslabeled Sweden’s approach to the pandemic a “cautionary tale” for the rest of the world, claiming it “yielded a surge of deaths without sparing its economy from damage.” To be accurate, Sweden has outperformed many nations around the world with its “lighter touch” approach and was one of the few nations in Europe to see its economy grow in the first quarter of 2020. Meanwhile, Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s top infectious disease expert, continues to defend his nation’s approach to the pandemic. “I’m looking forward to a more serious evaluation of our work than has been made so far,” Tegnell said in a recent podcast published by Swedish public radio before taking a scheduled vacation. “There is no way of knowing how this ends.” Sweden’s Actual Pandemic Performance Sweden has become a global lightning rod, but this has less to do with the results of its policies than the nature of its policies. While Sweden’s death toll is indeed substantially higher than neighbors such as Finland, Norway, and Denmark, it’s also much lower than several other European neighbors such as Belgium, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. Indeed, a simple comparison between Belgium and Sweden—nations with rather similar populations—reveals that Belgium suffered far worse than Sweden from the coronavirus. The reason Sweden is a “cautionary tale” and Belgium is not is because Belgium followed the script. Early in the pandemic, Belgian officials closed all non-essential business and enforced strict social distancing rules. All non-emergency workers were told to stay home. Shopping was limited to a single family member. Individuals could leave for medical reasons or to walk a pet or get a brief bit of exercise—so long as social distancing was maintained. These lockdown protocols, the BBC reported, were strictly enforced by Belgian police using “drones in parks and fines for anyone breaking social distancing rules.” A More Suitable ‘Cautionary Tale’ Sweden clearly endured the pandemic better than Belgium, which had nearly twice as many COVID-19 deaths despite its economic lockdown. Yet the Times chose Sweden as its “cautionary tale” because Sweden chose not to institute an economic lockdown. Sweden took such an approach for two reasons. First, as Tegnell has publicly stated, there is little to no scientific evidence that lockdowns work. Second, as evidence today shows, lockdowns come with widespread unintended consequences: mass unemployment, recession, social unrest, psychological deterioration, suicides, and drug overdoses. Even if Sweden has seen its death toll rise more sharply than Scandinavian neighbors such as Finland and Norway, it’s strange that the Times would go thousands of miles across an ocean and continent to find a “cautionary tale.” A far better cautionary tale can be found right under the Grey Lady’s nose. A simple comparison between New York and Sweden shows the Empire State has suffered far worse from COVID-19 than the Swedes. Yinon Weiss, an entrepreneur and founder of Rally Point, recently compared Sweden and New York using data from the COVID Tracking Project. (more after the jump)
the New York Times - what a sad joke of a leftist rag it is. Even the lefties can’t respect it these days.
