Yes Northern Europe, East and West seems to be doing much better than Spain Italy France and UK, with Spain boasting proudly (you read it right: proudly) the most repressive policies. Enjoy the reopening, I ll be following the news, see if it s worth moving North,
Some people/nations, will find significance/feeling of achievement, - in the weirdest ,,accomplishments''. Yup, move here. Only 15% on short term gains and if you keep over 3 years - profits become tax free.
Sweden looking more and more like normal, shops which were voluntarily closed are reopening and people are moving more than a few weeks ago. Communications from official health agency comforting.No catastrophe so far. From Forbes : https://www.forbes.com/sites/gabrie...tastrophe-hasnt-arrived-in-sweden-whats-next/
This deserves to be shared as it's own topic. (as a response, to all of that negative nonsense out there)
Increase in fatalities during the past 15 days Sweden - 1456 Norway+Finland - 212 "Swedish Policy Factor" = 6.87
What? So lockdowns didn't work w/SARS, MERS, Ebola? I don't even know where to start w/this logic. I floated the idea in my head to intentionally get infected before hospital capacity was overwhelmed. What put me off is the lack of data on the virus itself at the time. Another idea that's been floating in my head is the same as Israel's, infect the less vulnerable so we can harvest antibodies on a massive scale. Only way to pump them out in industrial numbers. Start w/the children
Sorry something wrong on my keyboard and I can't find question marks anymore, they show as _ Spain, a EU and Shenghen member, came up with a lockdown deescalation plan Borders to be closed until at least end of October, Spanish folks locked in the country and foreigners can't visit. A measure already considered nonsensical by swedish authorities, as the virus is widespread. People will be allowed to go out by themselves to stroll or jog from this sunday, possibly having to obey to a government imposed schedule, like 6am -8am to stroll or jog, 8to 10 to go to work, 10am to 1pm for kids under 5 y o, 1 to 4pm to allow municipal employees to clean the streets etc... Not clear when one will be able to go and meet a friend, hopefully it will follow shortly It seems here in Spain, the government still has hope, or claims to have, to make the virus disappear. Today a study came up with november 28th as the date of the last infection in Spain. How more absurd can one get _ And what would they plan to do in that case _ Keep the country like a large jail as any contact with overseas could bring back the virus _ Schools not to reopen before September Some sports are to reopen slowly, within 2 months there might be sporting event with public, as long as each spectator enjoys 20sqm to themselves... There's no plan yet to reopen contact sports - which sucks big time for us. In case infection numbers increase, those stunning relaxations in rules could be cancelled and a strict lockdown reinstated It all looks like hell. A virus with 99.5% survival rate was enough for whole countries to give up their culture and freedom. Sweden still has no lockdown, kept open borders with the western world and health care is able to handle the workload while the population isn't panicking. It also has no worry on reopening the country. Not clear to me how Spain did fuck up so much, or what it plans to achieve with locking the country indefinetely
Thats not good. There will almost certainly be another wave later this year as weather turns colder. Probably starting September. So i cant see Spain coming out of lockdown until April next year then. Same thing might happen in the UK as well.
Not good at all. Doesn't make much sense either, and what the government is messing up here is not only a few billion in the yearly budget.
