Various comments on Corona-virus, contagions and health systems
[QUOTE=Dreams;2446768]20% in people exposed 1000 times more to the virus that you and me.[/QUOTE]Well done, Dreams!
I really praise your effort to review and correct this and several other arbitrary and incorrect statements written on this subject by fellow forum members.
I agree with all yours, which are based on facts and valid sources.
Just check the figures yourself
[QUOTE=ShooBree;2446857]Almost all of Western Europe is worse off than Sweden comparing deaths per million. Belgium, San Marino, Andorra, Spain, Italy, France, UK, Netherlands. Ireland and Switzerland are barely better off but paid a big price and it honestly wasn't worth it.
Sweden have counted more deaths outside of hospitals than many other countries. The numbers you are comparing aren't accurate. Which means that you're drawing false conclusions.
In Sweden more people are worried about the economy and we are not willing to sacrifice our economy and quality of life to do a lockdown that haven't produced any good results in other countries.
The countries that have had a lockdown have to open back up, and that's a real challenge!
I honestly don't understand the obsession comparing different countries, especially considering that it's not over yet and there are more factors to take into consideration than the number of deaths. The economy for example.
To wait for a vaccine is rather naive. Throughout human history the weak ones have died, nowadays people want to play God and can't accept the death of people over 70 and other weak humans.
Damn it, did the World go this mad during the HK flu?[/QUOTE]I posted the link, just check the figures yourself, sort by deaths per million. Look at Germany, Austria, Switzerland is lower but lets take a country with a similar known infection count and a strict lockdown regime, Czechia, it has a dramatically lower death rate.
All you have to do is sort by that column on the graph, most of Western Europe has a lower mortality rate per population which is what you would expect with a more relaxed lockdown regime.
If herd immunity is actually happening more quickly because of this, there would be a plausible argument for this. But this hasn't been established yet.
