So how do you know how many are "unemployed", with most of the population on lockdown?? And no, it isn't "nonsense". The US already has almost 20,000 fatalities (a bit more than "a few thousand").
4/11/2020.....The Public Health Agency reports A total of 887 people, 516 men and 371 women, have now died. In total, 10,151 people have been confirmed infected in the country. 789 people have so far been in intensive care for covid-19. The Public Health Authority has previously flagged for a certain backlog of reported deaths over weekends.
The Swedes cannot relax and the situation is still serious, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said in an interview on Swedish TV. He says that it is “obvious” that Sweden’s preparedness has not been good enough to meet the crisis.
5-10 percent have the virus
2.5 percent of the randomly selected 773 Stockholmers tested last week were found to carry the corona virus according to the Public Health Agency. But significantly more than that have at some point been infected. Given the doubling time of six to seven days, between five and ten percent are carriers in Stockholm according to epidemiologist Anders Tegnell.

There were 80,000 deaths in this country 2017 flu season we DID NOT shut the entire country down AND no one even knew about it because the MSM did not CREATE the hysteria!! It was not an election year!! They HAD TO crash this economy and they are all patting themselves on the back right now!!
“The US already has almost 20,000 fatalities (a bit more than “a few thousand”
Yes, it’s about the same as a average flu season.
And you are right it’s not non-sense..it’s a Huge overreaction...and it is very serious.
Tell me why we can go to the grocery store but we can’t go to work? We can use the same precautions?
And don’t tell me their is a shortage of gloves and masks..and even if there is.. we are still somehow able to go to the grocery store with a shortage of gloves and masks?
Why aren’t we dropping like flies from going to the grocery stores?
Sorry...you two are short-sighted AND selfish. No further comments to waste on this tripe.
According to Swedish News Nordstjernan, April 08:
50% of the employees in a surgical department at Swedens Linköping University Hospital were infected by the coronavirus. The discovery was made when all 50 employees were tested. Several of the infected had no or very mild symptoms when the test was done. Everyone infected had to leave work.
(Sweden).....”Their paramedics are about to get a taste of what’s happening in NYC”......
Looks like that’s quite possible from what I’m reading in their news. Also Just posted a Hospital in Sweden tested their medical staff .....50% tested positive so they sent them home. That will of course put thir Hosptial staff remaining overwhelmed sooner rather than later.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
Does not apply to this situation. The meme you are missing is that this situation is TEMPORARY and not a permanent alteration of our social contract (Constitution).
Franklin would have understood and approved.
You fear mongers never give up.
