COVID-19 Response: An issue that shouldn't be at all political....yet here we are

[ewing]

People in Sweden actually wear masks, the US and your ilk can't even get that far

What's also funny is you have this slavish devotion to how Sweden did it despite the fact their economy still went in the tank. Apparently there was no way to stop the economy from going in the toilet, but yes lets hear it for Sweden, the country that managed to combine one of the highest death rates and still had their economy crash!

Hooray!~

If everyone’s gonna die lets do it packing a lunch!

Also worth noting we’ve had reports of a few deaths of kids under 20 and many hospitalizations.



It’s interesting how little attention is given to what we’re learning about underlying causes and association with severe cases and death. Like that a BMI of 30 or more is linked to a 60% increase in mortality rates. The average BMI in the US is 28....average.

Lots of studies done now on guy microbiome and the impact on this too.


Shouldn’t be surprising I guess. Number one killer is heart disease, then cancer and then diabetes, but there’s no focus on lifestyle changes. Just more drugs and surgeries to cash in on which create more issues and a need for more drugs, ad infinitum.

I teach Psychological Research Methods. And the first class I challenge any student to come up with a major modern day problem that can't be at the least partially solved by psychological research and behavior change. It's almost impossible. You look at the top 10 causes of death 100 years ago and it's alot of infections. Today it's mostly diseases of lifestyle. **** the pharmaceutical companies.

It's pretty sad that NY City went from the most popular city in the world to the most disgusting city in the world. Damn Dems.

Escape from New York is actually happening. I thought that was a century away.

Can we make a movie for Chicago and Portland also?

As other countries face renewed outbreaks, Sweden’s latest Covid-19 figures suggest it’s rapidly bringing the virus under control.

“That Sweden has come down to these levels is very promising,” state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told reporters in Stockholm on Tuesday.

The Health Agency of Sweden says that since hitting a peak in late June, the infection rate has fallen sharply. That’s amid an increase in testing over the period. “The curves are going down and the curves for the seriously ill are beginning to approach zero,” Tegnell said.

The development follows months of controversy over Sweden’s decision to avoid a full lockdown. The unusual strategy coincided with a much higher Covid-19 mortality rate than elsewhere in the Nordic region. Per 100,000, Swedish deaths even exceeded those in the U.S. and Brazil.

On Tuesday, Sweden reported two new deaths, bringing the total to 5,702.
Masks

Tegnell also broached the subject of face masks, which the World Health Organization recommends people use when social distancing isn’t possible.

“With numbers diminishing very quickly in Sweden, we see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport,” he said.

Tegnell has consistently argued that Sweden’s approach is more sustainable than the sudden lockdowns imposed elsewhere. With the risk that Covid-19 might be around for years, he says completely shutting down society isn’t a long-term option.

Meanwhile, many countries that thought they’d brought the virus under control are now seeing second waves. Tegnell called those developments “worrying.”

Imagine if trump did this in February. There would be what, 100k less dead?

It would be funny if it weren't such a harsh reality.

3 months sound short honestly.
