It mentions in the Key Findings #6: Currently, 6 months after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, there have been no confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection. However, the number of areas where sustained infection pressure has been maintained, and therefore reinfections would be most likely observed, remains limited.

And in the second paragraph of the Assessment: Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 has not yet been definitively confirmed in any recovered persons to date. If, and if so when, persons can be reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 remains unknown and is a subject of investigation.

Sorry, misread reinfection instead of asymptomatic.

Looks like Sweden got it right and the rest of the world screwed the pooch.

In terms of cases and deaths, Sweden is no different from France, Spain, Netherlands, etc. Same or worse deaths and now zero deaths In fact all of western Europe has essentially zero deaths except UK, Portugal with a few, and a smattering elsewhere. What Sweden did do right is not trash their economy (as much) in their response.

High risk people should strongly avoid going out and take severe precautions when they do. (Masks/Grocery drop off/avoid the public/etc.) The rest of us should go about our business as usual with some rational precautions.

So just some quick numbers off the top of my head: Dallas County is supposedly a current hotbed for positive tests. They are 'red' out of red/oj/yellow/green.

Cumulative positives to date: 46,813
Dallas County population: 2.6MM

The 7-day average chart on their summary pdf put this month at around 800/day. So, let's say people are potentially infectious for two weeks. Down to 11M people. Many of these are currently in a hospital, or if they have symptoms but not too bad, are likely isolating at home. So your positives with minimal symptoms, and your unknown untested infectious are the only ones possibly currently spreading it around everywhere. So even if we take the total of those positives in the two-week time frame, assume all of them are walking around, you get 11M / 2.6MM, or a .43% chance that the guy you run into at the grocery or anywhere is infected, and contagious. I was very liberal with numbers, so it's definitely much lower. But that's also in a 'hotbed' of current positives, a very tiny chance you even run into someone with it, much less get infected.

"Accumulating evidence supports ending isolation and precautions for persons with COVID-19 using a symptom-based strategy."

Some doctors are already doing that and signing off recovered patients to let them go back to work. If you get sick, find one of those doctors. If you are in a socialist Democrat state that's "shut down," campaign for Republicans and vote in the next election.

Otherwise, eat more parasites. ;D

Thanks for posting this!

In Florida, up to 80% of drive-through PCR “positive cases” are asymptomatic.

I'm in Florida as well. Trying to fight teachers union that refuses to go back to work. Do you have a source for the 80% of drive through positives in FL being asymptomatic?

That would be tremendously helpful. Thanks!

"Thanks for posting this!" You're welcome 😁 Wish it could get out more. JR, any chance front page news? Seems all these Covid-19 PCR test "Positive Cases!" may be based on tons of false positives. The CDC says 3 months of false positives after recovery. MSM: *crickets*

Here are some statistical comparisons for Sweden with USA and attached or surrounding states, including Baltic small states. Country/Deaths per million. USA/454 - Sweden/564 - Norway/47 (shared border) - Finland/59 (shared border) - Denmark/106 (across water) - Latvia/16 (Baltic shore) - Estonia/52 (Baltic shore) - Lithuania/29 (Baltic shore). I wonder how the Swedes feel about their statistics when they look at their neighbors? What is it that the Swedes got Right?

So their deaths are front loaded. Same number of people are going to die from this no matter what. Sweden: No Lockdown Population of 10.2 million Coronavirus deaths –5,667 Lockdown State#1: New York City (Democrat Governor, Andrew Cuomo) Population– 8.3 million Coronavirus deaths– 32,133 (5 and a half time more than Sweden with 2 million less people) Lockdown State#2: New Jersey (another Democrat governor, Phil Murphy) Population– 9.2 million (1 million less than Sweden) Coronavirus deaths– 15,684 (nearly 3 times as many as Sweden with a smaller population.) Lockdown State#3: Massachusetts (another Democrat Governor, Charlie Baker) Population– 6.9 million #.3 million less than Sweden) Coronavirus deaths– 8,380 (1 and a half times Sweden’s total with 3 million less people.)

I took HCQ when I lost my sense of smell and taste. Started Tuesday evening; all symptoms gone by Friday!

Find your HCQ source before you have symptoms. HCQ plus Zinc plus antibiotic is a cure. Do NOT wait!

HCQ is available from online MD source.
