CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 That comic reminded me of an exchange I had with another person in a FB group a few nights ago. She told me that reptiles weren't animals. And I'm 99% sure she was serious, judging from her angry reactions at me. Including when I explained biological taxonomy to her. It started because she was angry over people posting snake photos in a backroads group. She said animals were allowed, but not "poisonous reptiles." Sorry, just a little tangent.

Signifyin(g)Monkey Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Sweden death rate lower than Spain, Italy, UK Could just be that Sweden has a lower population density, but considering how horrific the economic effects of the shutdown/reopen process have been, it does make you think... Yes, Sweden has more deaths than the other Nordics, but at this point it’s a fair question whether it’d be worth trading a higher short-run death count if you could have, by now, a declining death rate AND have avoided turning people’s lives upside down by shutting down the economy.

CitizenVectron Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 We need a prayer emoji: Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the great people at AirBnB. Because of them, I have learned that it is 100% safe to travel now, and that I am only entitled to a 1.2% refund of my deposit. If I contract COVID-19 myself then I can get a full refund, but I would have to provide them with the test results, which is illegal in Canada. But I'm sure they know best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while they didn't shut down, they're still contracting. That said, people calling for a "swedish model" for economic growth the data just isn't there yet. That said, you can tell this is a bad strategy by this: Quote Tegnell’s theory is widely accepted by Swedes and has won some support from the World Health Organization.

Doesn't Sweden have better healthcare than those countries? Our healthcare system which is straining now would have absolutely been BROKEN if we had not shut down. I don't know where you are, but it's very sobering when you see dead bodies being piled up in emergeny room hallways and on freezer trucks... or seeing mass graves in NYC. 5 hours ago, ort said: It's unbelievably hard to watch.
