Don’t test, don’t tell.

They’ve only run 36K tests.

Hey...I’m just sitting here waiting for the CDC and BIG PROP to tell me when to pull that trigger of the gun at my head. I’m skeered.

Sweden
Coronavirus Cases: 6,830
Deaths: 401
Recovered: 205
Deaths/Cases: 5.9%

Denmark
Coronavirus Cases: 4,369
Deaths: 179
Recovered: 1,327
Deaths/Cases: 4.1%

Finland
Coronavirus Cases: 1,927
Deaths: 28
Recovered: 300
Deaths/Cases: 1.5%

The deaths/cases figure can be greatly affected by how much testing is done. Do they test everyone, those who have gone to the doctor with symptoms or just those sick enough to go to the hospital? Still, a death rate many times what is generally reported is frightening.

Nobody did the math on walmart through put rates. It is impossible to service the number of people this way. It is going to break down one way or another.

It may be “novel” COVID but it is really just another infectious disease that creates a pandemic. Basically, they are all handled the same. Test, isolate the vectors, treat and do it some more. Instead of practicing and preparing for this CDC became Social Justice Warriors and FDA just dug deeper into their safe spot while NIH skulked around in the ivory tower of academia. All three did nothing and it is a damn shame and it is too late to correct it in the middle of battle. They have left us to just do the best we can. We are on our own. What they are suggesting is not doing any good and it is too little too late. The risky to offer best course of action is to mask-up, glove-up, pack your hand sanitizer, distance and minimize contact, stay home when you can and pray for a vaccine or if you get it you have a mild case. What we are doing isn’t working and is pouring good efforts after bad results. Personal choices and luck will get a person through this. Once again, uncle sugar and his minions are not going to save anybody.

Number of cases per million:
1. Norway
2. Denmark
3. Sweden

Number of deaths per million:
1. Sweden
2. Denmark
3. Norway

Pretty much can’t tell the difference. This is just a snapshot. However, it’s been the same all week.

I find the “recovered” category nearly meaningless, because no one knows for sure what it means or if it means the same thing in all places. To me it bears little reference to “cases” because “cases” generally means (or is supposed to mean) “tested positive” but “tested positive” includes those that at the time of testing have no symptoms and may in fact never have symptoms. For such persons are they ever counted as “recovered” against the “case totals”. No. So “recovered” means what, and what specific number-category should it be compared to, in order to derive some meaning to it.

I is my belief that if someone only has mild symptoms, goes home and takes care of themselves THEY are by and large NOT being counted in the “recovered” category.

If so, “recovered” should only be reported for the condition of discharged from hospital as a Covid-19 case, and for no other reason, by which it could then have some meaning if compared against a number that represented JUST the “hospitalized”.

I doubt the official medical system reporting of the numbers is being done that way, which is why I have little respect for the “recovered” numbers. It’s any body’s guess what exactly they mean.

The doctor on the MedCram youtube channel was speculating that the widespread use of saunas in Finland (even in comparison to other countries of thst region) may be boosting people’s immune systems there. He made a pretty good argument for that.

“Finland is the prepper nation of the Nordics, always ready for a major catastrophe or a World War III,” said Magnus Hakenstad, a scholar at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies.

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Sweden is purposely trying to make more room for immigrants by getting rid of elderly Swedes.

Finland has half the population of Sweden.

Stockholm, 1.5 million, has less cases than Cleveland, Denver, New Orleans or Indianapolis.

Hearing a lot of talkback nutbags say ‘We don’t need this lockdown - look at Sweden - they’re doing it right.’

Australia.
Population: 25 mil.
Deaths: 34.

Sweden.
Population: 10 mil.
Deaths: 373.

Good one, nutbags!
