The daily growth rate in the Netherlands for CV cases for the last 7 days has averaged 9.9%. By comparison, locked down neighboring Germany has seen about 9.2% average daily growth, and Belgium about 14% growth. Why is there not more skepticism about these lockdowns when there is data showing that countries that don’t lock down aren’t seeing much difference in case growth?
Sweden and Belarus? What’s the comp data?
everybody and their comrade is counting in their own way...some places are listing heart attacks, etc as covid..so I don’t know how we can trust any stats....
Because the two kinds of lockdowns aren’t really all that different.
If you’re in the ‘necesesary’ grocery store with 200 of your nearest and dearest companions...you’re not locked down.
‘We’ were locked down Friday at 5pm. Yesterday the walmart parking lot was completely full with cars parked along the road. Never seen it that full even on Black Friday. While they were limiting people in the store, there was a HUGE crowd of people outside. With nothing else to do, ‘take the family to walmart’ becomes the entertainment.
