    You've already been shown that the care homes in Sweden house hundreds of people per facility whereas their neighbor's care homes do not. Sweden is doing fantastic. By the by, the death rate in NYC is 225 per 100k---4 times that of Sweden.

    So we can't compare them to the UK, or to Spain or Belgium or Italy? Have to pick only those countries where your numbers work to your narrative? The UK locked everything down and did a hardcore shutdown. But they're at 683 deaths per 1M pop, and Sweden is at 570 without locking down?

    Seems to me that lockdowns aren't the deciding factor, are they Covertibility?

  3. Geographical neighbors. Buy a map.

  4. Cases in Sweden per 1M also well exceed that of its neighbors. If there's serious internal organ damage for those were infected, what do you think happens down the road? What happens to healthcare costs?

    Can you show the statistics on how many people experience "serious internal organ damage"? Some empirical study would be great. Because I hear this a lot but don't see a lot of examples of it.

    Ah, so we can only compare Florida to Georgia and Alabama now? No comparisons to New York?

    I mean, the distance between New York and Florida is ~1147 miles (just googled it) and the distance between Sweden and the UK is 922 miles.

    Or perhaps the virus only cares if countries are touching? If they touch, they get the cooties?

    Don't be ridiculous.

    Can Coronavirus Cause Heart Damage?

    It's still early but learn to read reliable sources and you'll find out.

    I asked you for the numbers, not some article that said the Coronavirus can cause heart damage, using only Italy and China (the best place for data reliability as we know) as examples, citing that a "lack of oxygen can cause heart tissue damage". No shit.

    How many people experience the same organ damage from a lack of oxygen caused by plain ol' pneumonia? How about the flu? Other respiratory infections? I mean, if we're going to single out COVID for something it does, it needs to be something other viruses don't, because we're not taking these extra precautions for them are we?

    Do you even think your way through these paper bags you toss out?

  10. Notice the title of the thread:

    In the Coronavirus Fight in Scandinavia, Sweden Stands Apart

    that's only 3 countries, not cherry pick the rest of Europe. Learn reading comprehension.
