Is this SC's success thus far backfiring?

If the area under the flattening and non-flattening curves is the same, and H1N1 infected 60+ Million Americans, and considering how Covid is much more contagious, aren't we in deep caca, period. If we don't have a vaccine for 12-18 months, which before we politicized everything was the...

Sweden's economic hits don't seem to justify their death rates......so far. Wasn't the claim to their semi-let er rip strategy, to not suffer through the economic losses of other countries? After the game and the armchair coaching dies down, it seems to me that it will come down to how fast a...

This is sooo true. Not to mention....dangerous. Although far from perfect, BBC and Reuters are less inclined to tell ya what you should think. Perfect would be a Martian network who could give a rat's arse about Dems and Pubs etc.etc., and who blandly ala Joe Friday style, delivered: just the...

There are a some Sweden fans here, but although Sweden is as close to a let er rip strategy as a Nation could be, even they aren't truly open for biz as usual.

The question is...for how long. The mantra of the let er rip crowd is....Oh my gawd at the suicides and depression with this stay at home crap. Well, see a bit of hypocrisy here!? Considering the number of vulnerable involved, it's gonna take even more people to make it possible to have them...

Yeah, the devil in the details. I can assure you that I wasn't talking about April style shutdowns for 6 months and I'm gonna go out a limb to guess you aren't talking about 6 days.

Not you per se, but the board here in a number of cases is in fact cavalier about: just hide the old folks. You actually don't see post after post about going to Tech football games? If not, read some mo. If you for example, do any of what opening up too fast means, you can not possibly protect...

Good for them. They are being smart. However, millions of people similar to them need more help in order to be isolated to the degree that many on here so cavalierly suggest they be, as if it's no problem to do so, in order of course for their young arses to go to ball games, dine out like...

isolate and stay home = locked up, and isn't hyperbole. It's also not hyperbole, to say that isolating tens of millions of people is not so straightforward, especially in the casual off handed way it's been suggested here many times.

Sorry for the confusion. Must be my stuttering. I was trying to say that imo we are at a point of having to take risk to open back up--gradually. I don't think my NIMBY point is confusing to anybody.

Now that has to be disappointing to the Swedes.

Switching deaths now instead of hospitilizations ? The near 40% rate stands. What are we gonna do---lock up all the fat people now? They and the elderly are millions, ok? Who is suggesting sheltering until a vaccine is in place? Not me.

How is Sweden doing economically with their let er rip approach?

Who cares? Well, maybe, perhaps, the near 40% of people hospitalized to date under 65 may care, huh? What age group is going to care for those who aren't going to "participate"? I hear what ur saying bwelbo, but I don't get the casual manner by which people think the older among us, which btw is...

Truth of the matter.....IMO, of course. FOX, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS, all suck. Some more than others, like CNN. The excitable, vaudeville, fear like manner in which they all open their broadcasts is pathetic and not helpful. Watching the same topics covered on BBC, most of the time, gives you a...

I think you may be right, IF there is a vaccine out by November to January. Downer Debbie reminds us however, we have never developed a successful vaccine against the coronavirus family, and it's not as if we haven't seriously tried.

points, the brd here has no bounds on trashing brilliant very accomplished people. These accomplished people are fallible and don't bat a 1000. This licenses people who can't hold a candle to them, to trash em because it makes them feel better, but in reality it makes them appear smallish.

I read it-good article. Do you believe mitigation efforts are part of the reason hospitals are ok for now? Part of my concern about hospitals and infection rates is based on the CDC's projection of 3,000 deaths per day by June vs the current 1,750 or so. Doesn't strike me as a situation under...

Your first statement is certainly not in the majority. Drs., politicians, and economists, would have bankrupted my business in short order. Would you trust yours to them? Your second statement is exactly what I'm hoping for, as long as the team has a clear cut leader. Your 3rd statement is absurd.
