Did Sweden's herd immunity approach work after all?

The proof is not in opinion, but in the actual numbers!


Many unfairly just compare Sweden to the other Scandinavian countries. But the truth is that Sweden has a population and specifically an urban population that is far more in line with your mainland European countries than with the lesser populated Scandinavian countries. As pointed out in other posts, the vast majority of Swedes live in what most would consider an urban environment. Much of Sweden is uninhabitable and the population is concentrated in a few major hubs. 

As it stands, their overall death rate per million continues to drop in comparison to many others. At one time Worldometer showed Sweden in the top five for deaths per million, and they currently reside just below France at 23 (the United States sits at #10). While these numbers are not magnificent, they are fairly decent for a country that allowed their citizens many more freedoms and choices than most other countries. 

Obviously Sweden's approach had many critics, both within Sweden as well as outside of Sweden. But ultimately those are simply "opinions" and "criticisms". The numbers tell a story much different than the one those critics are wanting to sell you.

Haven't heard anything about Sweden so it must be working.

Does the CDC know something the @WHO and @ECDC_EU don't know? Because Europeans sure don't seem to care about keeping kids six feet apart and in masks in school

The divergence in covid school mitigations across the Atlantic is stark and fascinating



It's called the "science" of teacher's unions and their control of the DNC

Fry's Electronics to Close After 36 Years in Business

WASHINGTON — Officials plan to distribute 25 million masks to thousands of community health centers and food banks nationwide beginning next month, the White House Coronavirus Task Force announced Wednesday.

“These are nationwide networks that serve populations hit hard by the pandemic,” White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients said. “While masks are widely available in many different shapes and sizes, many low-income Americans still lack affordable access to this basic protection.”

Fry’s Electronics, Inc. has made the difficult decision to shut down its operations and close its business permanently as a result of changes in the retail industry

Been to the Frys in Renton, Washington. Not far from our place in Seattle. Cool shop. We have what is called Microcenters around here that appear to still be thriving. But they concentrate more on the computers and computer parts, whereas Frys was more electronics in general and appliances.

Frys was a cool place. It will be missed.

California is now the last state keeping gyms closed, once again following science that apparently only Gavin Newsom has access to.


Would be real tough if you are in a room with a TV in California

The irony is rich. Today’s press event. At a restaurant (that’s closed).


Well he probably had dinner reservations for that night.

Last one out please pull the blinds shut.

Roger, my God, you just can't stop being stupid.

"In February 2015, RadioShack (RSHCQ), a renowned electronics store, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following many financial and operational missteps. The company had too many stores that cannibalized revenues from each other and generated losses. RadioShack failed to adapt and stay relevant when most electronics sales shifted online, and the retailer was stuck in brick-and-mortar locations only."

Most Republicans Support Biden’s Relief Plan

Morning Consult:
“While Republicans offered the lowest amount of support, more than half of GOP voters still back the stimulus package at 60 percent. Thirty percent said they somewhat or strongly oppose the package.”

Moderna Inc. MRNA -3.58% said Wednesday it has made the initial batch of doses of a new Covid-19 vaccine designed to better protect people against a new strain of the coronavirus that has shown some resistance to the company’s original vaccine.

The Cambridge, Mass., company said it shipped the new shots to the National Institutes of Health to conduct the first human study of the variant vaccine, which could start within weeks.

The new vaccine, code-named mRNA-1273.351, is designed to better match the virus variant that was first identified in South Africa but has since spread elsewhere.
