Define 'fine' and 'minor'.

 

And while most businesses in Sweden are still operating, the economic cost of the pandemic is already being felt. Last week, 25,350 Swedes registered as unemployed, according to the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce — a larger increase than during the 2008 financial crisis.

In contrast, just across a narrow strip of sea, neighboring Denmark is already talking about reopening society. They imposed a much stricter lockdown four weeks ago, closing borders, schools and businesses. This week, the prime minister said by acting early, Denmark averted the tragedy that struck hard-hit nations like Italy and Spain, which together have seen at least 37,000 virus-related deaths, and will be ready after Easter for a slow return to normal life that starts with reopening preschools and primary schools.

For weeks, the numbers of COVID-19 cases and fatalities were proportionally similar between Sweden and Denmark, but while the economic results of the strict isolation are being felt in Denmark, Sweden’s mortality rate has reached more than 88 dead per million, compared with around 47 dead per million in Denmark.

Sweden, with a population of 10 million, has registered 899 deaths, while Denmark, with 5.8 million people, has 273 deaths. Worldwide, the virus has infected a reported 1.8 million people and killed 114,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. 

 

After a sharp spike in deaths in Sweden, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven proposed an emergency law allowing the quick closure of public venues and transportation if needed. Lofven also warned citizens to prepare for possibly up to thousands of deaths.

Minor as they are not locked down and they can go out and eat at restaurants, gyms and work, economy isn’t shut down....etc.  Fine as in there isn’t a massive hospitalization that many predicted.  They are reaching herd immunity in a week so about 6 million or so in a country of 10.1 million getting infected.  And getting infected doesn’t necessarily mean showing symptoms as most will be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

So USC and Stanford have projected that from testing they have done the actual infection is 55-80 times the confirmed case count.  So that puts the mortality rate to much less than 1% the regular flu levels.

Why not just make wearing PPE REQUIRED for entry into sporting events for now? 

Seems like an easy way to limit transmission in large sporting events. Not perfect but it would help and at least be a way to get fans into the stands

It was obvious from the outset of the ridiculous, fear-mongering projections that this would be the case. 

Based on the ease of transmission and lack of testing, it was clear that there were many more infected than reported. 

Also being manipulated are the death numbers. As suddenly influenza and pneumonia are killing virtually no one, allegedly. 

I called this three weeks ago. Because of what a few doctors had stated publically. But most of them went radio silent.

Random antibody testing in New York revealed approx. 1 in 7 people in the state have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, which translates to an infection rate of about 14%. In NYC it is even higher - about 20%.

This is far better than what was measured in Santa Clara and LA counties (2-4%), as it would indicate that if one is immune once they have been infected, NY is closer to reaching a critical mass of infection where herd immunity inhibits transmissibility. However, it also means that in the absence of near-term containment and mitigation, New York could potentially realize 5-7x the fatalities they have already. 

From LiveScience:

1 in 5 people tested in New York City had antibodies for the coronavirus

Nearly 1 in 7 people in New York who were randomly tested  for coronavirus antibodies turned out to have them, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced today (April 23). In New York City, the number is even higher: About 1 in 5 people tested positive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. 

If those early results translate to the rest of the New York population, that would mean about 2.7 million people across the state would have been infected.
