Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

This is actually quite useful. The cases are layered in a way much more similar to claims triangulation as opposed to the typical article that would say "US has another 4k corona deaths this week" when only a fraction of them actually occurred this week. The problem we've had the last six months is a complete dearth of useful data. Things are presented with a clearly defined goal in mind, and then the numbers are mangled to reinforce that position.
Deaths, Data and COVID-19: A Deadly Dose of Daily Confusion

Take a look at population and population density. Israel is 9M and change; Sweden is 10M and change. Consider the size of the country (and desert). Population density of Israel is 401 people/sq km; Sweden is 25/sq km. Pack people more closely together and you get higher disease transmission rates. Sweden (outside Stockholm) more like the US in the 50s - entirely different from a country like Israel. US is 36/sq km; in all cases the distribution between rural and urban areas is highly skewed; but in a much smaller country like Israel, there's little opportunity to spread out.

Contagion can multiply at an exponential rate (1 person can infect many - each of those can infect many) while mandates are more linear. There's a significant time lag between disease growth and corrective measures - more infected people than known (because of the delayed onset of symptoms if people are symptomatic) are already in the pipeline and have the potential to affect others. Feedback and control and system dynamics are the real studies that would give a real handle on all this if people really responded more uniformly, but even mask wear varies both in quality of the mask and user compliance.
If most the population in Sweden live in urban areas like Stockholm than the size of the country doesn't matter.
 


Yeah, that’s a hard no from normal people. The world got back to normal after the Spanish Flu, WWI & WWII. I believe we can get back to normal.

This is an incredibly dangerous opinion piece that could cause significant harm to those suffering from the mental health effects of social isolation, job disruption, and health anxiety. Complete nonsense, and reckless journalism.
