Its going to be a long rotten boring summer and I'm not willing anymore to put up with it. I'm in the at risk category and I couldn't give a ****. More and more this lockdown seems to have an ulterior motive behind it.

But you're also increasing the risk for your partner and everyone they (and you) get in touch with afterwards. Are you going to ask all these people for their consent before you engage in your high risk sex ? No? So who's the extremist here?

The virus is extremely contagious The virus spreads most actively before or just during the onset of symptoms. So the person that infects you most likely shows no symptoms at all or just a light sniffle that could be anything or nothing. The virus could kill you...perhaps it won't, perhaps it will

However if you are going to ascribe opinions to someone at least give the link!. Btw I'd suggest you take a look at the raw data regarding death rate and the economy in Sweden not someones opinion of 'Stockholm' :rolleyes: You do realise that unemployment projections are just a small part of any possible scenario yeah? Quoting Swedens Cental Bank this article detailshttps://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/30/coronavirus-sweden-economy-to-contract-as-severely-as-the-rest-of-europe.html As for Swedens and its handling of Covid - it would appear most of the stuff about Sweden rate ofbinfevtion is the product of social mediahttps://www.thejournal.ie/sweden-coronavirus-debunk-5076859-Apr2020/ Oh re "herd immunity" even the World Health Organization warns that there's "not enough evidence" yet to guarantee people who get COVID-19 will be immune from re-infection, stressing that "no study" has yet evaluated the question.

In the first scenario (scenario A in the chart below), gross domestic product contracts by 6.9% in 2020 before rebounding to grow 4.6% in 2021. In a more negative prediction (scenario , GDP could contract by 9.7% ... The International Monetary Fund predicted earlier in April that Germany and the U.K. will see their economies contract by 6.5% and 7% this year, respectively. France is expected to see a 7.2% contraction, Spain an 8% contraction and for Italy to see its economy shrink 9.1%. Sweden's neighbors Finland and Denmark, which also imposed lockdowns, are also expected to see their economies contract by 6% and 6.5%, respectively... Sweden's supply chains and businesses have been damaged by the pandemic and the Riksbank warned that "many companies will be hit hard and many people will lose their jobs," although it decided to hold its benchmark interest rate at zero this week.

From what I read the important ones are hairdressers/barbers, book shops, sports equipment stores and shops that sell laptops, phones etc. Obviously social distancing measures will still apply. For example, the guideline for hairdressers/barbers is: one customer at a time in the store, the customer shouldn't touch anything-they walk in and go straight to the chair, single use gowns, cleaning of all combs and scissors between clients and face masks mandatory for both clients and barbers - that last one I'm not sure I understood it correctly, I am not sure exactly how wearing a mask will work when you have a haircut. Use of debit cards still encouraged. Phases in Greece are I think in 2 weeks intervals, with the same warning that if numbers go up, restrictions return. Use of masks apparently mandatory in public transport, taxis and hospitals. The restrictions in Greece were implemented on the 12th of March. They were similar to ours from March 26th (a bit stricter in that you had to get "preapproval" to go out) but the enforcement was much stricter and police had full authority to implement it and fine people. At the moment Greece is down to single digits of new cases and deaths - albeit they don't test as much as we do here.

Now if its verified and they've said they'll publish the data in medical journals next week then this has been around a hell of a lot longer than people think
