WHO lauds Sweden's approach

We all know individuals can get infected and have the gamut of reactions to the virus. From no symptoms to death. The reason you let the low risk group work is because keeping them locked up makes no sense given the data we have and the hospital capacity we have. In fact, its important to get them to work and getting hospitals functioning properly ready to serve the public in a more full service capacity asap.

If the high risk groups isolates itself properly.
They should not be getting sick from the low risk group.

Fear? ... your team and its skewed stats were the ones who spread the fear.

As nearly every old age home in the U.S. and Europe has discovered it is nearly impossible to stop cross-contamination from society into the home. The food must be delivered, the staff must come to work, medical care provided, etc. Even in the old age home locally where they made the staff stay on site & not leave -- the facility still landed up with COVID-19.
 
more fact free fear by one of our resident fear mongers.
While 40 percent of the deaths in CA in many other places are old folks in residential homes....

When I looked this up last week... Most homes were safe from the virus. (this fact could have changed or have been wrong... it was incidental to my search at the time.

1. Many of these homes acquired the virus before the lockdown.
2. With proper measures, like the measures taken by the care facility my mom is in, they can stay virus free pretty easily.

Jem , when you find some time , have a check on what's the situation in the prisons.

Over 70% of Tested Inmates in Federal Prisons Have COVID-19, Official Figures Show

(WASHINGTON) — Michael Fleming never got to say goodbye to his father. He didn’t know his dad was fading away on a ventilator, diagnosed with coronavirus at the federal prison where he was serving time for a drug charge.

His father, also named Michael, was held at FCI Terminal Island in Los Angeles and died April 19. At least half the population there has tested positive, the largest known hot spot in the federal prison system. But the first word the family received of the father’s illness was the day he died, from a prison chaplain asking if the body should be cremated and where the ashes should be sent.

“They just left us all in the dark,” Fleming said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We had to find out from the news what the actual cause of death was. It was kind of screwed up.”
 
It would have been nice if they would have shared the full context.
How many tested
How many sick
How many no symptoms
How many antibodies
How many died
Type of confinement
When one was sick what were the stats for his cell mates
Were they tested randomly or presenting with symptoms?

Its just such bullshit that the media can't write a useful story.
How is an incomplete story and scary headline not propaganda

or... tell us ... we asked for the stats but they were not made available
or we were told we would have them next week.

Just a whole story once would be so nice.

You have to wonder where the people with the models get their funding?
Real academics with integrity would have said their models can not be taken seriously without data regarding how many people have been infected.

The models were obvious horseshit from the beginning as many of us here on ET... said... as we received the usual chorus of ad homs for the lefty sock puppets and dncunces.


 
Here's Australia. They had one of the hardest lock downs. So who is right?
Sweden's rate is dropping, but Australia really slowed down the # of new cases. I think it's too early to tell, but I'll wager we see cases in the hard lock down areas rebound much higher than in Sweden. For me, I'll stick with social distancing, mask, hand washing etc...
