So...Sweden got it right on the chinese flu.....

[2aguy]

A closer look at what is really going on in Sweden...

And the dramatic drop in new cases and deaths in that country point to a rapidly improving situation there in defiance of many earlier predictions.
The Swedish government has engaged in minimal interventions and imposed relatively few restrictions upon its citizenry for the duration of the pandemic. Yet the so-called "Swedish model" has for months drawn alarm and derision from countless world health authorities. Many have insisted that sweeping, open-ended restrictions on social and economic activity — including lockdowns, strict "social distancing" measures, and mandatory face mask orders — are the only practical methods by which the coronavirus can be halted.
------

Perhaps more pointedly, in countries that imposed some of the more draconian lockdowns in the Western world — the U.K., Italy, Spain — the pandemic at times seemed to rage out of control compared with Sweden's relatively level epidemic curve. Italy and Spain at the height of their outbreaks recorded many hundreds of deaths per day and saw, at times, local health systems on the verge of collapse.

Both countries have population-adjusted fatality rates above that of Sweden; smaller government authorities, such as those of New York and New Jersey, also have fatality rates far above Sweden's. New York State, where Gov.

Andrew Cuomo instituted one of the strongest and most restrictive lockdowns in the U.S., has a population-adjusted death rate three times that of Sweden.

After 6 months without lockdown, Sweden's COVID-19 deaths, infections bottom out

Open schools, little mask usage, few restrictions have flouted much of the world's response.

"During the months of March to early June, all shops were practically empty, people stopped dining with friends, and families stopped seeing even their closest relatives," Furberg told MedPage Today. "A lock-down could not have been more effective. Handwashing, excessive use of hand sanitizers, and staying home at the first sign of a cold became the new normal very quickly."

Mozhu Ding, PhD, an epidemiologist at the famed Karolinska Institute, said the decline is "likely to be a combination of measures taken by individuals, businesses and a widespread information campaign launched by the government."

"Even without a strict lockdown order, many businesses allowed employees to work from home, and universities are offering distance courses to the students," Ding told MedPage Today. "Individuals are also taking personal hygiene more seriously, as items like hand sanitizers and single-use gloves are often sold out in pharmacies and grocery stores."

Snip

Norway is still requiring that Swedes quarantine for 10 days when coming into Norway, and Denmark has not fully reopened its borders to its neighbor yet either.

That doesn't bode well for the Swedish economy. If the goal of avoiding a lockdown was to spare economic woe, its success has been limited.

What happened in TX and FL? Nothing that wouldn’t have happened earlier had there been no lockdowns. Lockdowns did nothing but delay the inevitable and screw up the economy. Lockdowns are AGW alarmism part 2.

Didn't the blob declare a national emergency? Yes
Didn't the blob's CDC recommend social distancing, no large public gatherings, masking, etc...? Yes

If Sweden got it right, that...by definition means your blob got it wrong.

Fun fact: Sweden's prime minister is a social democrat.

"The party's first chapter in its statutes says "the intention of the Swedish Social Democratic Labour Party is the struggle towards Democratic Socialism", i.e. a society with a democratic economy based on the socialist principle 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need' "

"The Social Democrats are strong supporters of egalitarianism and maintain a strong opposition to discrimination and racism. The party supports social welfare provision, paid for by progressive taxation. The party also supports a social corporatist economy involving the institutionalization of a social partnership system between capital and labour economic interest groups, with government oversight to resolve disputes between the two factions.[30]"

"Liberalism has also strongly infused social-democratic ideology."

"For many Social Democrats, Marxism is loosely held to be valuable for its emphasis on changing the world for a more just, better future.[32] "

"Organisations within the Swedish Social Democratic movement include:

• The National Federation of Social Democratic Women in Sweden (S-kvinnor) organizes women.
• The Swedish Social Democratic Youth League (Sveriges Socialdemokratiska Ungdomsförbund) organizes youth.
• The Social Democratic Students of Sweden (Socialdemokratiska Studentförbundet) organizes university students.
• The Religious Social Democrats of Sweden (Socialdemokrater för tro och solidaritet) organizes all members with religious beliefs.
• The LGBT Social Democrats of Sweden (HBT-Socialdemokraterna) organizes LGBT-people."

You are full of bull. The fact is that several states have had no shutdowns and that has not spared them. The fact is that Cuomo has been able to re-open his state. Swede n is not the United States. You seem to think there is a one size fits all approach. That is not the case.

Good point, but also the fact is the faster you reach herd immunity by young/healthy recovering, then the fewer deaths you have in total.
Masks and social distancing can not save any lives, but kills more by making it last longer than it should have normally.
