Yes I understand that and agree. But my opinion still stands, we made it worse and the general population were just sheep and let it happen.

US deaths from corona are very unreliable. I bet if you compared deaths from all the other normal causes they are all down and transferred to corona while overall deaths are about the same or lower to pre-corona levels

they have no election to remove an anti-globalist president

Sweden has a much higher case mortality rate, and more deaths per capita.

If the NY area hadn’t screwed up with nursing homes. We’d had even fewer deaths.

Truth is they did shut down, it just wasn't government mandated. Mostly elderly deaths though. Their results suggest that how you protect the elderly has a bigger impact on your success.

New York got herd immunity, that is the only thing that stops this.

We cant hide from the virus no matter how hard we try.

Good movie, your name btw.

Well, the trick is to develop herd immunity in healthy people under age 55.

Not to develop it in nursing homes.

None of the recent surges outside New England have a high mortality rate.

Death rate per capita in Sweden is slightly higher than entire US as a whole at this point. But they are way less than New York per capita. We are adding many deaths in states like Cali. Subtract out the over reported death counts and who knows where we are.

We should have done nothing, except to tell older and more vulnerable people to stay in lockdown. But keep the country moving forward. There was no reason to do what we did.

Death rate per 100,000 people New York: 168 Sweden: 56

Sweden also lists everyone with positive test as covid-19, regardless of cause of death.

This is done on purpose, it is deemed better to have upper bound.

more deaths per capita, because they got there quicker. US will go there eventually. it's only about time.

yep that is what I am saying. They are almost done completely, will are adding single digits a day.

Even over reported erroneous cases and deaths, we will still pass them and also have a 30+ million unemployed, trillions more debt and prolonged suffering since we are trying to hide from the virus which is impossible in the end.

US fucked up so badly. because of democrat governors but also republicans. it was election year so Trump couldn't call everybody's bullshit. media created fear and obsession, which led to tons of money wasted on tests and ventilators.

still no one talks about HCQ.

if everybody can go to grocery stores, and government employees can work, journalists can fill a small room every day for a press briefing, how is it possible that other people are not able to work?

what really got me angry was, they were asking Kayleigh 10 questions if it is safe to go to church, while they are sitting in a fucking room whining. so, it's safe to be in the press briefing but it's impossible to sit in a church?

Yea I could tell Trump wanted to call BS on this in the beginning. But they used to old “YOU DONT CARE ABOUT GRANDMAAAAAAA REEEEEEEE” and everyone got in line.

So disappointing, it’s like how they get people to vote for more taxes, “YOU DONT CARE ABOUT TH CHILDRENNNN REEEEEEE”

In the end we will probably have more that died during Swine Flu, the flu no one cared about. Oh yea Obama was president for that one

I don’t trust any of the numbers anymore. It’s impossible to do comparisons.

Overall, I think we’re very close to one another.

Take all of the numbers and divide them by about 90% and you'll get the true numbers. This is the flu. If you get the flu, this one, or A or B, it will suck for some, inconvenience most, and kill a few.

Flu kills more across the age board, too.

If you wear the mask for covid, you must continue to wear it in perpetuity for the flu. That’s the real issue. People are scared of the thing that is less likely to kill them unless they’re 80 years old.

then we really should have done what Sweden did, NOTHING. Yes it would suck to get it, but that is any flu or previous outbreaks like swine, bird, etc etc. No one cared then. You took your chances in life and that is what we should have done this time as well.

Yet here our country is, afraid of it’s own shadow. Jumping on any trend that is supposed to”save” us.

well even more reason that we did the wrong thing. This whole ordeal is screwed up and we keep getting worse trying the next thing and next. Herd immunity is the only answer.

The Dems stretched the pain out as long as possible for maximum damage against GEOTUS. They are literally killing people and bankrupting people to bring down Trump. The most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

Cases are up in CA but deaths are dropping still and now the Dems here are thinking of a stricter lockdown. Intentionally destroying the economy—no fucks given.

Crazy that Sweden is the voice of reason in this scamdemic.

They actually gave their citizens “Freedom” during the crisis. No mask mandates with fines and misdemeanors. No mom and pops closing shop for good. I swear the way we did it is how I would think they would do it.

Talk about backwards. Even their prime minister said that he thought it would be steeping on the citizens civil liberties to enforce these measures on them. Yet here sits Americans not caring about it. We have lost our way.

And Sweden is a joke and a failure anyway.

I don't care what they do or what comes from it; they need to collapse already

Hey I hate socialism as much as anyone, this is not about how they run their country.

This is only a comparison of how we handled the commie virus vs them. They gave heir citizens freedom, didn't force companies out of business, didn’t force their population to walk around like zombies with masks and if caught give you a criminal record and fine for not complying. We the United Stats of America did that.
