    Fear and panic is not good. Anxiety levels rise and people so irrational things.

    Sorry if it was discussed already..in Sweden life remained pretty much normal with small exceptions but schools, creches are open, people are working etc. yet their numbers are not really much higher than anywhere else (?)

    They're doing very badly compared with their neighbours - Norway and Denmark

    It looks like a disastrous strategy

    The Swedish are distinctly more inclined to follow guidelines. Many people will work from home or take their children out of school and will socially distance anyway.

    We're more cavalier and if we weren't specifically told to stay inside we'd be doing business as usual. It's all down to societal norms. The media never give a context for its stories, that's the problem.

    Your point almost hints that these specific cases should not be reported?

    It's common sense that the sick and old will die in greater numbers or have greater risk of dying from from pretty much anything.
    However it was pedalled by media/government that it didn't affect the young and healthy with any great significance. We know now that isn't true and it's important to highlight this because many of the isolation breakers are young people (not exclusively )

    If Sweden had followed Norway and Denmark, instead of 239 deaths, they would have had between 80-180.

    Calling any of those figures 'disastrous' is ludicrous.

    This time last year, if I suggested shutting millions of people into their homes for weeks at a time to save between 60 and 160 people, I would have been laughed at.

    This is a mass delusion. In a year you won't wonder what came over you to think that this was reasonable - you'll deny you ever thought it was a good idea at all.

    To be fair though, they would most likely have witnessed someone being blown to bits in front of them or some such so that might entitle them to a bit of a lip wobble.

    Sure. But if we missed people having issues after seeing their friends blown up how many other issues did we miss. Like they were the most obvious cases going and people still go on as if they got on with it with a stuff upper lip. So what else did we miss?

    Yesterdays numbers:

    Denmark - 247 new cases and 14 new deaths
    Norway - 236 new cases and 5 new deaths
    Sweden - 512 new cases and 59 new deaths

    Things are significantly worse in Sweden.

    A 6 week old baby died in America. A 13 year old died in the UK, a 16 year old died in France. A 42 year old died in Ireland (going by what another poster said here yesterday).

    I think there will be deaths of all ages and not just the old.

    Context again. Not every young person (or baby, as I know all too well) is completely healthy.

    For fcuks sake people, if you're going to read a media article at least do your research before jumping to conclusions.

    you're framing is wrong unless you have a good certainty over the total numbers, not the numbers as of today. There is a trade off somewhere though

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    yup, it's a a grim experiment they are running. hopefully a sad lesson for other countries thinking of going a similar route.

    You're right, Nermal, if last year you had suggested shutting millions of people into their homes I would have laughed at you.

    But that's all you're right about

    I've seen your posts before. Why do you spout such crap? If we were free to roam there'd be thousands of deaths. You cannot extrapolate from false assumption and claim yourself a soothsayer.

    Go off to America and see how long you last, c u next Tuesday.

    Before people criticise or be pedantic they need to realise they don’t know what’s going on in someone’s life and what people are going through we all need to be a lot nicer and kinder at the moment

    Swedish population is double just to start with
    In fact both Norway and Denmark has higher number of cases per million people

    A few weeks ago Norway were at about 500 cases new a day, lockdown seems to be really working there, I guess the population density in spain and italy is f*cking everything up.

    Also the worst thing one can do after no sleep is go on the internet. How can you destress or put a coherent thought together?

    like in Spain, cases rocketting again, despite being on lockdown for almost 3 weeks.
    its gonna spread anyway, just get it over with, now all they're doing is destroying the economy and peoples mental health.

    I was listening to one scientist (can't recall who or even the show/pod) in the field talking about the different tactics used by different countries. It was at the time GB appeared to be changing tack from herd to their present position. Was that a week ago? A year ago? He reasoned that while some methods appeared riskier than others and he understood the "lowering the curve" for health care management he said that countries should stick to the path they've taken.

    His hypothesis was that there was little to be gained by changing tack during a process as the genie would be out of the bottle either way. However by sticking with the initial plan there would be data gained from differing approaches. While I don't mean to throw out a "but a random scientist said..." but this did strike me as sensible.

    We kinda need different approaches in western democracies for future best practice.

    Chinas active cases are going down roughly about 250 a day they now have less than 1900 active cases on worldometer if its spreading so rapidly around the world how in gods name have they only had like 85k cases.

    Would it be something to do with them being prepared due to SARS?

    The economic impact of coronavirus will be least severe in Ireland among OECD countries according to new report.

    The OECD has published a report evaluating the initial impact of coronavirus containment measures on its members’ economies, with Ireland expected to be the least scathed.
