Lockdowns only delay the inevitable----they do not prevent the future spread of the virus strain. ----Herd immunity does.
The only way to obtain "herd immunity" for COVID is via a vaccine. "Curiously, there’s not much sign that Swedes have developed herd immunity, at least as traditionally understood. Two studies performed in early summer by the Swedish health authorities reveal that only the 7 percent of the population had developed antibodies against him COVID-19; 12 percent had antibodies in Stockholm. One hard-hit suburb hit 18 percent. The country’s government officials have repeatedly insisted that “herd immunity” was never a deliberate goal or strategy of the country’s policies."
A lot of people refuse to believe the science given by Sweden itself. It's in line with what's stated by vaccination experts, health officials and those that actually understand the science of herd immunity. It's very simple... Lockdowns or Lockdown Lite gives health officials more time to find a vaccine and minimizing deaths / lowering the kill rate of Covid-19. Vaccination only works if people take it...if its above 70% effective. So far, about 2/3 of the global population are against vaccination because a Covid-19 vaccine has been politicized. Most people that are anti-face mask...they're also anti-vaccine. Herd Immunity occurs after vaccination...not the other way around unless you're willing to kill off > 1 million of your countries population. It's an ironic dilemma that the herd immunity folks have gotten themselves into...karma. Most countries will freak out @ 300k killed via the fact its obvious then that there's no herd immunity because there's no vaccine. What's the current death count in the U.S.A ? Besides...you'll know when the vaccine is > 70% effective to then setup herd immunity. wrbtrader
Then why do we have flu shots? You don't think this thing is gonna take off between folks staying inside as the weather turns and the virus itself mutating? I mean... get some common sense. Christ almighty.... snap the f out of it. Regardless, anyone notice the Industrials composite? You don't think all these numbers were pent up demand? Yeah the rails are on fire. 99% of the time that's a great sign. I don't think that's the case this time around. Mutations..... All that said.... F China. The world's pissed. Vietnam guys. The ETF's suck.... but some of those the individual players will roar on associated news. I have no picks atm.... but soveriegn wealth.... ABC. .....Anything But China. You can mark this one too.
That's not the only thing standing apart in Sweden (2018 bus stop): Knowledge of Scandinavian norms on personal space not even once
