Sweden made the fatal flaw of not protecting nursing homes, early on. If they had avoided the massive losses there, their numbers would be significantly better. Don't forget that multiple countries who fared worse actually DID engage in lockdowns and mandates.For anyone wanting to read medical based research, this forbes article, with link to a British non-profit that did meaningful research on Sweden versus other neighboring European countries. They concluded their infection, death, and hospitalization rates are higher than multiple neighboring countries.
Stop Trying To Make ‘Herd Immunity’ Happen: Sweden’s Attempt At Covid-19 Herd Immunity Failed
Isnt that true of all nursing homes? Mask or no mask the old and immune compromised have bore the brunt of the death category. You can’t use deaths in nursing homes in sweden without consideration for total nursing home deaths in all compared countries. Im not sure that study shows that data so please feel free to link one up that doesSweden made the fatal flaw of not protecting nursing homes, early on. If they had avoided the massive losses there, their numbers would be significantly better. Don't forget that multiple countries who fared worse actually DID engage in lockdowns and mandates.
Combing through the trove of medical observations outside your specialty, one has note you come down on the same highly politicized position 100% of the time. Without noting and debating every instance of specious logic and cherry picked facts, I’d just like to log that you can’t pitch yourself as the objective scientific oracle, if you’re going to walk in with the same sales pitch every time. The countries that did lock down, and fared worse, fared worse based on two variables: when they locked down, and the average age of the population of the country. Trying to imply they did worse because they locked down is absurd.Sweden made the fatal flaw of not protecting nursing homes, early on.

It is as important as wearing face masks. Bothe must be done if we want to get this virus under control. We still test for flu and we will because next year's vaccine depends on which flu viruses are circulating this year. All this year's flu vaccine will contain 4 different strains of flu for the first time ever. There will be 2 vaccines this Fall, one regular dose for those under age 60 and a high dose for those over 60. We plder folks will get the high dose because our atibody systems are old and not as productive as those younger folks. This year, it in important that everyone get their flu vaccine ASAP so that if and when an effective vaccine for Corid-19 is developed and becomes available.This whole "If we just don't test them, then we won't have a problem" thing needs to go. The whole point of testing is so you know how to stop the spread. If Person A is given a test and they test positive, you can keep Person A from spreading it even if they don't have symptoms, but if you just don't test Person A because they haven't shown symptoms then you stand the chance of Person A practicing and infecting the whole team.
There are so many other things we can debate about being practical or impractical but consistent testing is pretty important.
Well, no one uses a year of eligibility, I believe. So it is what it is....and if the students keep partying, the whole student body will achieve herd immunity before football season starts (including the players).
Be pretty safe then.
H1n1 deaths were counted As the only cause in that 12k. Where as a car accident with covid is counted for covid.... thats the difference
Oh, of course. “Protesting” is fine, even encouraged....covid evidently knows not to affect people when they’re standing shoulder to shoulder among hundreds and thousands of shouting protestors....or if they decide to get violent and rob and loot, even attempt to injure and kill others.I doubt it. We already have a march planned tomorrow night....which brings up another question, are they going to allow them to march in spite of this "outbreak"?
Crazy thought. Do you think Pruitt did this to keep the players from walking off the field to support the protests; like what happened at UK today?
I'm not saying that, at all. I'm saying that locking down only delays the inevitable and causes MASSIVE collateral damage.Combing through the trove of medical observations outside your specialty, one has note you come down on the same highly politicized position 100% of the time.
