Stop Trying To Make ‘Herd Immunity’ Happen: Sweden’s Attempt At Covid-19 Herd Immunity Failed
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.

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 does

It is not. Read up on T cell protection, likely attributed to prior exposure to other Coronaviruses. It is estimated by many experts that somewhere between 40-70% of populations have a baseline "immunity," without evidence of SARS-Cov-2 antibodies.
Gotcha thanks

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.

Stop Trying To Make ‘Herd Immunity’ Happen: Sweden’s Attempt At Covid-19 Herd Immunity Failed
Weak article.

This is basically just an opinion piece. There have been more than one person to say that we may only need 20% to get the virus to be immune.

Again its another slanderous article against Sweden's policy comparing it to its neighbors as if its even a fair comparison. Sweden has twice the populations of Denmark, Finland, and Norway and Stockholm is far more densely populated than any other Nordic city. Sweden also has a high population of immigrants after the refugee crisis, so that exacerbated the issue more, as the immigrants live in closer quarters. The other countries don't have that issue.

A better comparison would be Belgium or the Netherlands. Netherlands has 17 million people, Belgium 11 million and Sweden 10.

Neth. 69,000 cases over 6,000 deaths
Sweden 83,000 cases 5,000+ deaths

Sweden with a lower death rate and lower rate per capita.

Belgium 83,000 cases and just under 10,000 deaths.

The difference? Sweden DID NOT LOCKDOWN and they still have better numbers than these countries and a better economy.

The deaths have been around zero for weeks in Sweden where they have no mask mandates, and according to my best friend who lives in Stockholm and other publications, people have not been wearing masks much for months. My buddy said he rarely saw anybody in Stockholm with a mask on back on July 4th. Remains the same today.

And about those deaths they have. All old or very sick people.

Almost all of those deaths occurred months ago. Since then they have quarantined their elderly and protected nursing homes better.

I mean when they elected to not lockdown the "experts" were all saying that Sweden would be screwed, but they are proving that this virus aint s**t if you just protect the vulnerable.
 
Very smart of Coach Pruitt and the medical staff to hold off practice because of a few positive tests.Why risk exposure.to many other team members at this time Before the season starts.Nip this deal in the bud(weiser).

Lockdowns have had much worse effects than COVID.
 
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.
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.

How many made up reasons can you hatch out to keep the pandemic going strong?
You are correct. He has no idea what is going on, It is unfortunate that people who know nothing about this virus make uninformed statements about it. That is one reason why this virus will be with us forever.

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.

Campus will be shut down long before the students come close to herd immunity if it’s spreading that wide.
 
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

That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard on this site. Please stop believing in conspiracy theories. When you spout off wild accusations without any real proof it makes you look stupid.
 
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"?
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.

Therefore, no problem with the March, covid will just stand down.

Now, if you’re talking about a funeral or a church service, or voting or a private family bbq or going to work....oh hell no, covid will strike then and , despite a 99.87% survival rate among all who contract it, EVERYBODY will die.

So, there’s your answer.
 
Ive said this before, that there COULD be a situation where you have entire 1st and 2nd team Offense or Defense Line out for 2 straight games due to this crap. and Ive also predicted that there will be fans(?) who will complain about losing those games and complain and bad mouth the coach(s)!! I hope Im wrong
 
I don't care about football when it comes to these young mens health. I hope they get the best medical treatment available and recover quickly for their own benefit. If they play great, I'm waiting. But all I pray for is their speedy recovery.
 
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?

The Covids don't show up for protests....at least that's what they told me on the news.

I was thinking the same thing, just shut it down before hand to avoid the negative press and then do the march they have planned tomorrow and go back to practice after the weekend and this has blown over.

Pure speculation, nothing more.

I'm not saying that, at all. I'm saying that locking down only delays the inevitable and causes MASSIVE collateral damage.

I'm sorry that you take my information as "politicized" or a "sales pitch." Bear in mind that I have been treating infectious diseases for 20 years, am in regular communication with our tertiary-care hospital and the specialists there, have close friends that practice immunology and hospital-based adult medicine, and *gasp* have actually cared for CV19 patients. In addition, I read current peer-reviewed and pending-review literature on a near-daily basis.
