      Stick to the other thread. And read up on some more recent things that have been happening in Sweden.

      Here, I'll help you out.

      https://time.com/5817412/sweden-coronavirus/

      Sweden has a relatively high case fatality rate: as of April 8, 7.68% of the Swedes who have tested positive for COVID-19 have died of the virus. Neighboring countries, like Norway and Denmark, have case fatality rates of 1.46% and 3.85% respectively. (The U.S. case fatality rate is 3.21%.) While Sweden’s elevated case fatality rate could be a result of its low testing rates compared to its neighbors, experts say Sweden’s laissez-faire approach could also be to blame.
      At the end of March, 2,300 doctors, scientists and academics signed an open letter to the government calling for stricter measures.
      “We think there is no scientific evidence for their strategy,” says Cecilia Söderberg-Nauclér, an expert in microbial pathogenesis who signed the letter. She says the government has been reluctant to share its data with scientists, leading her to believe that the government’s strategy is “not based on evidence.”
      “If they are right and we are wrong, I will open a bottle of champagne,” Söderberg-Nauclér says. She notes that, based on the modeling she’s seen, the healthcare system in Sweden will collapse if stricter measures are not adopted immediately. “But I will not give up the fight until the government shows us evidence for their strategy.”

        All I ever said was I never believed a million Americans would die nor did I think it would be remotely close to that. If the argument is well it could have happened if we did nothing, ok fine. If it took a figure like that to hammer this home to Trump so be it.

          I absolutely believe if we had done nothing a million people was possible. With the measures we are taking we are adding tens of thousands of cases a day all over. California would have numbers near NY if nothing had been done.

            I had to remember how to put people on ignore- its been a long time since I needed it. I didn't even get past the name and the first sentence.

Newsom gets an A. California is testing fewer people per 1M than literally every other state, but I hope it's because everyone has been chilling the f-ck inside since 3/16, and not because they're receiving far fewer testing materials than they need.
            I think the complexity of variables in bigger cities/states made it much harder to give a blanket order quickly~ showing with ridiculous clarity why our current system of only the upper middle class/ rich is a foundation built on sand. The number of children at risk, who rely on programs based in schools to get food, other supports, is staggering. Then you have the issue of lack of daycare. Many families manage to make life work only through multiple, complex networks of family, friends, school. You shut everything down and that leaves them with nothing to help them. Even if the parents are willing to give everything to the kids you can't give something out of nothing. Then you have adult problems- no insurance, no pay, no transportation to get food because no pay.

            This is why we should have been preparing long before it hit. It wasn't a surprise GD it. And this is why the Orange Buffoon has a lot to answer for in telling people they were over reacting. Hard to turn the aircraft carrier on a dime when the capt is trying to steer the other way.

              A million people is about .3% (3/1000) of the population. If we did nothing and everyone got infected and overwhelmed the health care system, that was absolutely possible given that it appears to have a mortality rate north of there.

                Like I said, if it took someone intelligent hammering that home to Trump to get things moving, so be it. I was never going under an assumption that we would do absolutely nothing. He certainly dragged his feet on this though. BassAle said it best.

                          This is why we have the firm #nopolitics rule on eLynah. It's absolutely possible to have an enjoyable conversation about sports with these cretins because sports almost never exceeds their meager cognitive capabilities. Often they're ex-jocks themselves because that plays well in herpa derp families ("no son of mine is gonna be a f-ggot; here, take this football...") so they actually know what they're talking about.

                          Get above their mental pay grade, though, which is anything beyond 4th grade, Hannity, and the NY Post, and it's a tragic shamockery.

                          So engage with them over at the kids table in D-1 and ignore them here. Easy enough to take them on and off the list.

                              More information on MI's extended stay at home order. Now certain parts of large stores will be blocked off. I'm hoping I can still get school supplies and access the electronics sections at Meijer or Target.

                                D-1 used to be great for the week-long weekend series threads, but those have gone the way of corded phones. Where did guys like Happy, Gurtholfin and Dirty go? I miss reading some of Gurth's stuff.
