As more "granular data" is crunched, analyzed and announced to the public and to government officials, the situation seems only to worsen. Sweden took a different approach. They issued recommendations that those at high risk take precautions to isolate themselves. Logical, not emotional or panic driven. They recommended "social distance" protocols for the rest and hand washing, etc. They recommended avoiding groups of 50 or more. But, they did *not* shut down schools, businesses, restaurants, etc. for the rest of the public. They emphasized the responsibility the public has to avoid becoming infected as best they can while recognizing that over 80 percent of those who *do* become infected will recover, most with no need for hospitalization. As of this morning Sweden, with a population of just over 10 million, has 5568 confirmed cases with 308 deaths. Wondering if this approach would have been more appropriate. Interestingly, California seems to have successfully "flattened the curve" yet testing in California lags well behind other "hot spot" sections of the country. I suppose everyone is entitled to whatever conjectures float their boat. I have no idea how many in this country will die, and neither does anyone else. But...if it is less than some of the scientists predict, you can be sure Trump will take credit for less deaths than predicted. Littlt ****bird you can't make this political. -- .. ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

You're a trip. *Everything* Trump says and does is political, aimed at pumping up his chances for re-election. He is the worst human being to ever hold high political office in this country. I know you right-wing deplorables love him for how well he insults every group and country and idea you hate, but that will all make it worse for everyone in the USA. I wonder how he will fare in the New Trump Economy with record high unemployment, business failures, hundreds of thousands of Americans dead, a tanked stock market, and plenty of legitimate evidence pointing a lot of the blame at him, his lies about the pandemic, and his delays to take strong action...and the lies and delays continue. |

If you believe the most extreme guesses, there will be fewer deaths than they predict. The real way to tell is to start with 2.8 million that will die in any given year and see where it goes from there. |

The numbers indicate that there are big differences in the rate of hospitalizations depending mostly on population density and propensity for travel. High density areas like the northeast are totally overwhelmed in just a few weeks time while lightly populated areas are getting by just fine, at least so far. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
