Mission accomplished by a certain group of people sadly. Can’t let a good crisis go to waste.
Election year? I really don’t understand. We’ve never just quit when a virus came around. Disturbing iyam.
If it worked which I’m not saying it didn’t, why is everyone freaking out about opening things back up?
Thank God I have that through Him!!!
And we're laying off Doctors and Nurses with Hospitals mostly empty.
Every advanced country in the world shut down. You think they did it cuz of the American election? How naive
Nurses and doctors have been laid off because of the freeze on elective surgeries/procedures
Notice the question mark. Never said a shutdown of some kind was wrong, but the ones freaking out right now about opening things back up are looking silly to put it nicely.
So the ones who did shut down did it because of the American election? That was their main concern?
One would have nothing to do with the other. People freaking out is about how much they understand herd immunity, not if it really works.
The Swedes and South Koreans have something we don't have. Absolute belief in the government. These people do what they are told. Notice everybody wearing a mask in the picture for that article. Besides that, Sweden did not let everything just go. Schools were closed. Large public gatherings and travel were curtailed dramatically. Also, Sweden has a very sophisticated health care system. We don't. With all that, Sweden has so far suffered a higher death rate per million than the U.S. And the U.S. is doing about as poorly as anybody. Add to that that we are still in the early stages of this disease. Nobody really knows if Sweden's approach will work or not. They are starting to see a rapid spread of the disease in some areas.
Maybe because even if 15 times more people have it than are confirmed, that would mean that 95% of the country has not been exposed and thus susceptible. We won't have herd immunity until 65% - 70% of people have immunity, and right now the only way to get it is through being infected, though we don't know how long or effective that immunity may be. This is going to keep spreading until we get to that 65%-70% threshold. The extreme measures that were taken the last couple of months worked to slow the spread, but now that we are opening up, it is going to accelerate the spread again. Hopefully enough people use best practices like masks, social distancing, etc. to keep it from raging, and we don't see what happened in April in the way of deaths, but the counts are going to stay the same or creep up again as people think its over. That means if 70% end up getting this, the death toll would still be over 1 million. And, again, that is assuming there are 15 times more people who have already been infected than we know.
