Sweden

[Whynottrade]

Simplistic , static analysis. Certainly though even by your rudimentary standards. Sweden is not 10 times Norway.

Given that I am sitting here wasting my time responding to you, your assessment of my standards as rudimentary is quite generous.

There is a specific reason I looked at Norway + Finland. This is as close as we can get to an "everything else being equal" situation, with the only difference being government policy.

Why don t you at least add Denmark to Finland and Norway ? 336 deaths so far, starting to ease the lockdown.

Stockholm is considerably bigger than the other scandinavian capitals btw

...In short, your argument is archaic, potentially dangerous, in short, a health hazard. Personally I believe in Social Darwinism. SD says: idiots should die, so I am not against thousands congregating in a church and passing the virus to each other. After all they are going to heaven, aren't they? The only problem that they would infect others too, who don't deserve it.

A remote island, outpost on a planet would have less of an economic impact on the rest of society than a church.

Less likely to infect others that tried to protect themselves from the ignorance.

Heck, he could add that small Dutch community in Iowa into the statistical averages.

Dumb comment. Denmark is in Scandinavia, Finland actually not. Makes sense to compare it with Sweden, especially that their numbers is not as good as Norway and Finland and they implemented early restrictions

Ohh and does the lockdown miraculously mean that everyone is immune ?? No it means, it'll just spiral out of control again, so all the lockdown does is delay some deaths, not save them right ??

At huge expense.

Then what Lockdown again ?? let 10% more get infected.

Then repeat another 5 or 6 times till herd immunity right ??

Ofcourse, if locking down to reduce deaths to a min early on, then use the treatment when available next month to reduce deaths 98% would be better still, but on the basis that's not approved yet and no idea if they'll buy it, makes that kinda tricky arguement as nobody knew for sure they'd be a treatment.

That s why governments are talking about insanely long restrictions, read today Australia government announced social distancing likely to last 1 year or more (didn t explain what restrictions would stay in place), Spain came up with broad brushes of its opening up plan, leisure, tourism and sports industries' lockdowns might last until end of the year and it is always possible they switch to tougher rules if relaxing the rules slightly provoke new infection peaks. In Spain btw after 5 weeks lockdown, people are still not allowed to walk nor exercise around their building, same for the kids, no matter the age. And cops are quite agressive in some areas.

Because Finland + Norway is app. already the same as Sweden's population, no need to add anything.
