But let's be like Sweden.
Good snark!! But pull back a bit and think. Lock downs never were put in place to prevent people from getting the virus. They were put in place to slow the spread....but ultimately lock down or not the same number of people will be infected....lock down or not.
Sweden decided their medical system could handle the sharp curve while most decided to not test their health care systems luck and try for a flat curve.....but, the area under the curve will be the same in both cases.
I’m not defending Sweden nor am I criticizing them. I’m just saying we will not truly know the results of their approach for another year or so. I hope it works, but we’ll have the data either way.
And in the bigger picture.......No one knows what’s best. Some will guess right and some will guess wrong. My suggestion is that you act like an adult and not like a 14 yr old HS student.
Sweden’s infection rate is currently 1,739/mil and the US is 2,758/mil. The death rate in Sweden is 213/mil and the US is 156/mil. Seems to me things in Sweden aren’t horrible and they still have an economy.
They have one of the highest infection rates per capita in the world and their kill-rate is TRIPLE ours.
But let’s be like Sweden.

Sweden is just getting their killing over sooner. We’re just delaying the inevitable. Everyone gets the virus until we reach herd immunity levels. We do it slow or we do it fast.
I've been watching how 'elites' are reacting... they're all staying in their homes - ordering out restaurant meals...
