53 out of every 10,000...

Well, that’s 5 in 1000, no?

That’s the average in Badly Hit brooklyn and Manhattan areas and every other state wants us sealed off.

Make up your mind guys.

It’s either a good number or it isn’t.

It really will be interesting to see. Not wishing ill for Swedes but if this is their decision they may have to just , as he said, “Ride that sucker out!” Once things start rolling it will be very difficult to change their minds.

Herd Immunity is largely going to happen everywhere. It’s just a question of how many weeks it will take.

Considering their Muslims wouldn’t obey the lockdown anyway, there wouldn’t have been a point in doing it anyway.

U.S. 2021, “we’ve flattened the curve!, all 144,000 report to the healthmarket to avoid late penalty.”

“It’s either a good number or it isn’t.”

Right, they said Denmark and Norway, two neighbouring countries and both in lockdown, recorded 3,672 and 5,253. But they did not give the corresponding Population numbers. Without that you cannot do an actual comparison. So why omit that..hmm?

Sweden has the lowest population density in Europe.

Sweden is over run by the Muslim horde, no way self isolation would work. It would be like declaring a bug free zone in a locust swarm.

Sweden 373 dead, 379 serious/critical.

Population 10 million

Multiply by 33 for equivalent US population.

373x33= 12,309
379x33= 12,507

Sweden’s fatality rate was 1.09% on March 22. Yesterday, it was 5.84% and climbing.

The US rate is 2.5% and mostly due to 4 states (NY, WA, MI and LA). The US rate only rose .1% yesterday. New infection rates are declining.

If you read the last paragraph it sounds like it is a blueprint that could be used for the US in the rural areas starting Easter Sunday.

10 million people in Sweden?? That’s it???

So multiply the numbers by 33.

So it would be the equivalent of 180,000 here.

So they are doing a little better than us. I think we have 300k.

But it’s not terribly better.

I have never been there. Do they have dense cities?

Take out where I live, NYC, and we’re both doing about the same

Indeed, I read the hardest hit areas in Sweden were the Somali ghettos

Perhaps Sweden understands the knock-on effect caused by universal stay at home orders.

Here is my analysis of COVID-19 fatalities by country where I adjust for size and timeline differentials.

Sweden is slightly better than the US and is tracking close to us..time will tell which approach is right.
