Default Damn those Swedes

Would somebody please tell those self centered Swedes there is a dangerous PANDEMONINEMIC , making the rounds of planet earth! They need to put on masks, get the hell out of the bars and restaurants, stop smiling and having fun; go home and be scared like responsible earth citizens.

Doctor Fouchi and Big Pharma will tell you when it’s okay to go outside and play again. Sheesh

Studies show that if one infected and asymptomatic person goes out and assumes normal ops his illness will infect 1093 people over 6 weeks. And that if he stays home it will only infect 127. Do you think, even for one moment, that you might be a tad premature with your insight? Cuz, stuff happens. Over time. Enstuff.


Please come back in six weeks with statistics from Sweden. And, pics of hot Sweedish ladies.

China cracked down.

China hasn’t been forthright with their data.

Default Who should we blame for the mess?

Looks like one of United's Super Cool Airline BoyS would like the credit.

Google "simple flying/united-coronavirus-pilot" and read all about it.

Only during a strike do you get this quality

Sweden already peaked. No need to wait 6 week. They are on the downslope and with a similar mortality rate as the US.

Is that your determination or an expert’s? If it is an expert’s, could you provide a source?

IHME projections disagree, with almost three weeks until their hospitalizations/deaths peak.

Worth the reads in my opinion. The New York Times Opinion from the epidemiologist suggests until an effective vaccine is made the only option at a public health cure is herd immunity.
