"COVID-19 herd immunity strategy could lead to 'overwhelming death and devastation' "

Fake News.

Facts:

Sweden thought they were going to reach herd immunity months ago. They were wrong! Their strategy was a colossal fuck-up failure.

Sweden had 1 death yesterday, 8 the day before. They did it right.

That's nothing. New Zealand had 0 reported - infections - & deaths for over 100 days & returned to normal life.

Sweden's 3 Nordic neighbours continue to destroy Sweden as they did in the early pandemic. In November they crushed Sweden's performance badly.

The 3 countries combined - Norway, Sweden & Denmark - have 17 cities over 100K population. Sweden only has 9.

"Sweden has way more total deaths than their 3 Nordic neighbours (Norway, Finland, Denmark) combined while Sweden has a 50% larger population than the 3 of them combined. And Sweden is no better off economically. Clearly hard lockdowns, as occurred in those 3 nations, were the superior choice to Sweden's soft voluntary isolation approach.

Sweden dead = 5,918
Norway dead = 278
Finland dead = 346
Denmark dead = 677"

So Sweden's approach was a colossal failure.

No wonder they been moving toward more restrictions recently. They finally woke up to the truth. Which also explains their recent lower death count, lol.

California about to shut down the state. There will be no fans for the National Semifinal at the Rise Bowl also.

6 months ago Captain Cotard was explaining to us how "I heard" immunity was imminent in NY and NJ.

That didn't quite work out, missed it by about 10k a day.

So to save that cowpie of a face he is now pointing the finger he removed from his bunghole at the liberals.

I figure about half a milly by. spring depending on the bear hibernation cycle in the upper midwest and the always imminent "I heard" immunity. Or the tards poke their own eyes out pointing their fingers at anything blue that is smarter than them.

Kind of relevent - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...rkers-are-quitting-leaving-icus-short-staffed

Stockholm’s ICU capacity hit 99% this week. Sweden
is also completely out of ICU nursing staff because of high resignation rates. There are now fewer ICU healthcare staffers than in spring surge. #COVID19 burnout is real. Chasing herd ruins HC systems.
I dont think you can believe a bloomberg article, they imply the same thing here, but few places have more than 15% of hospital beds filled with covid patients.

Yes kind of relevant looolz.

Every birdbrain who championed Sweden's approach, in a fledgling pandemic, you can't go back and fix stupidity after the fact.

No one had any data making their decision correct and thete still is no data.

Err on the side of caution and throw every effort at it Before it buries your country.

Not a half cocked, unplanned fukkup after it is out of control and then jump up and down saying shit don't work.

We've been over this 100 times. Sweden has many big cities and the other countries mentioned have few. You just said that population density plays a part. Sweden did it right.

Raiders the Retard has been wrong so many times in 2020. He wins the 2020 title of dumbest poster of the year at Eog. Taking the title previously held by Dumb Alfie. It's a far right wing pattern, not only at EOG, but in America

Here's a link to an article where the King of Sweeden admits their approach to the Coronavirus has failed. He apologizes for his counties failed response.

Raiders the Retard couldn't have been more wrong. It's a pattern that won him 2020 Dumbest Poster of the Year at EOG.

is that from IHME?

their model tends to underestimated for long term. They can be a bit optimistic about compliance, But they've been pretty close. with every projection they are able to use new data to get a better estimate of compliance. After all a mandate doesn't solve anything if it's not followed.

there are laws against murder and drunk driving. that hasn't got those numbers down to zero, and they have pretty stiff repercussions. So the biggest variable on the models now is Compliance. and that differs by area.

I documented these IHME projections on this site, when they occurred and when the came in, You'll see they undershoot, but getting pretty darn good as they can tweak the model.


May 4th they projected 134,775 by Aug 4 ended up at 144k

In July they projected 224,500 for Nov 1 it ended up at 235k

looks like they have 399k projected for Feb 1

let's hope they aren't optimistic and conservative about that projection

and let's hope the vaccine has something to say about that first.


they were optimistic again, but in the ballpark for sure

currently projecting

566,720 by May 1

Are you impressed with Bidens statement today that "there's nothing we can do about Covid"?

Cases are falling in something like 42 states, hospitalizations crashing in much of the country, this time the end could be for real.

Does the Thundering Herd come stomping into the Spring to trample the Lions AND Lambs or are we gonna stagnate for a few more months?

Joe Biden said on his 1st day as president we're entering dark days and it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Looks like he was wrong huh? Actually i dont think it was possible for him to be more wrong.

Only 100,000 people died from Covid in January. As Merlin would say, you're wrong to say that's dark.

Fair Warning questions who's feeding Joe Biden false information. Republicons! Ron Johnson says the insurrection on Jan 6 were impostors posing as Trump supporters.

"Republicons are very special people".

Conservative party ideology: Conserve cash flows and power to themselves.

Change to a conservative is transfer of permanence.

Republicon is someone that only thinks of themselves. Dishonest and hateful.

Mitt Romney a very wealthy Republicon who has a car elevator in his mansion says minimum wage of $15 is too high. Lol

North dakota hit a new low of 21 people hospitalized today, down 94% from their peak(334) in mid Nov, their positivity % is down to the 2% range. They've also vaccinated around 25% of their eligible population, to go with approx 50% natural immunity.

It looks like they are the first state to achieve herd immunity.

This should be all over the news, letting people know that it's almost over would be a great thing.
