How does Swedish culture factor in?
Their culture has less contact ?
...and... literally hundreds of other factors...

Fearpers got the sads about no masks.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
“News is the first rough draft of history”
Maybe our experts should read the news from Sweden, learn from it, and stop repeating the mistakes we’re making.
lol. Fearper Karen.
Five months of Fear,
Fauci is a Fraud.
Stand-up you Fearbros
and Applaude Your god!
The U.S. response will go down in history as one of the most blatant abuses of power in our history — with the primary purpose to change the outcome of the November election.
Masks are required in all public transportation and terminals in Sweden. Sweden, which country has a very small population, didn’t do all that well with the epidemic, either. And Swedes tend to be traditionally very socially distanced from each other in public.
Link is to USSA, not USAA, an insurance and financial company. Too much caffeine affects my typing like that. ;-)
That’s USSA News, by the way. “United Socialist States of America.” I don’t care much for the name.
Yet we have 1,000 new deaths yesterday as per Worldometer. Are those #s real and what are the demographics behind them?
Thats not a triple whammy.
It’s a hat trick!
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Regarding lockdowns, the “Orange Man Bad” Left is once again rewriting history by moving the goalposts.
More specifically, not only do lockdowns have to be ordered early enough to be effective like PDJT did, but the original purpose of PDJT’s lockdown was to prevent the medical system from being overloaded so that otherwise preventable COVID-19-related deaths wouldn’t skyrocket.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
The weekly death count from all causes in the United States per the CDC has been on a steady decline since April. We are now either at or below the typical number of deaths for this time of year. The fear mongers have perfected their techniques to corrupt and skew the data, but the death count from all causes is based on actual death certificates and is more difficult to manipulate. Please take a look at these charts the CDC chart is in the middle of the page and can take a moment or two to load up. You cna change the measure from Covid deaths to Total Deaths:
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm
The steep drop off at the end of the CDC chart is partially because of reporting lag, the first chart takes that into account.
I think that misses the point. We're talking about herd immunity in Sweden.
Assuming that you are correct and that the Swedes required masks on public transportation (big deal) and that the Swedes are more socially distant(sounds like a reach), all of that would only mean that the Swedes delayed their herd immunity and that they could have done it sooner.
It will be truly interesting to see where deaths stand at the end of the year. I was looking at Alabama statistics yesterday and came across something that was truly amazing.
Through yesterday Alabama had reported 1,821 total deaths from Covid-19. Amazingly Alabama reported 65 Covid-19 deaths with no comorbidity. So in the state of Alabama if you are healthy you have virtually NO CHANCE of dying from this disease. In other words in you get the disease and are healthy you have a 99.9987% chance of survival.

in = if
Last April when tests in this area were unavailable unless you were a health-care worker or a celebrity, 11 people on the Fire Department that I retired from tested positive. Only 1 developed any symptoms before testing negative a couple of weeks later and he still had them... He has chronic allergies to pollen.
