D&D and the rising pandemic

[Zardnaar]

Because I find this completely insane, Sweden:

Sweden COVID - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer

Sweden Coronavirus update with statistics and graphs: total and new cases, deaths per day, mortality and recovery rates, current active cases, recoveries, trends and timeline.

www.worldometers.info

Covid-19 continues to take the weekend off in Sweden. This week it also took a break on Easter Monday!

106 daily deaths april 9,
77 daily deaths april 10,
17 daily deaths april 11
12 daily deaths april 12
20 daily deaths april 13
117 daily deaths (as yet! Day not over!) today.

Same thing happened the last 2 weekends.

Posted that a few days ago. Per capita Sweden is doing worse than the US.

Overconfident in their health system and culture.

It looks like on Thursday we’re going to told the UK is getting another 3 weeks of lockdown. There’s a bit of a scandal right now because only hospital deaths are being reported and there are thousands and thousands of care homes with deaths which are not included in the figures. So the death rate is likely much higher than reported.

Still a lot of difficulty getting testing kits. Basically hardly anybody - even front line health workers - is being tested.

Boris is out of hospital and resting at Chequers but he’s not back at work yet. Dominic Raab is still in charge.

what makes you think US vs Europe was a bad comparison?

The fact that you didn't compare to Europe, you compared it to 5 countries in Europe and just “happened” to include the two countries that were the hardest hit.

Guess what? Compared to Italy, Spain and the US, my country is also doing pretty well. I should break out the champagne!

I wonder about the reporting as well here. How many are we missing? I don't want to hear the deaths, other than to demonstrate, especially to hold outs among the country, that this is serious and that we need to fight it together to prevent more unnecessary death.

Crazy. We're not doing a massive amount but per capita it's decent.

UK was one of the worst hit outside Italy/Spain.

I suspect numbers are higher in more than a few placeds due to outright cooked numbers or lacking the systems to accurately record it vs undercounting.

West Europe might have the highest numbers due to the relative effectiveness of counting and honestly presenting the numbers.

Ecudor for example was sounding terrible.

Government here assumed they've missed a few but there hasn't been a run on ICU beds.

Lots of talk about getting out of lockdown and post lockdown recovery.

Realistically I'm expecting lockdown to be extended by two weeks with a gradual reduction once new cases hit 0.

They've also done a best case, worst case scenario economically. 13-28% unemployment, Great Depression I think we had 15%.

and the one country that was one of the least hardest hit.

i think the issue you have is the numbers I presented don’t align with the narrative you want to believe.

And that's supposed to make us think that the statistics all just work out?

Look, it wasn't a well formed comparison. The less of a big deal you make trying to defend it, the better you end up.

best comparison presented on here as of yet.

And it starts to get acrimonious...

Let’s nip that in the bud right now. We’re all in this together.
