You didn’t answer his question and then defended yourself for not answering his question

Boris Johnson to announce UK lockdown

The question is how they are doing now. And without looking I can assure you that their result is drastically better than us and the rest of Europe.
Sweden?

They're middle of the pack in Europe, doing worse than most countries in the same population range as them.


I'm not sure why people prop up Sweden in either direction. They haven't done it better than everyone else based on deaths per 1M, and they haven't done it worse than everyone else by not locking down. They've just been in the middle, not good/not bad. Now you can certainly argue not locking down and remaining middle ground is the way to go to save your economy, I'd agree. But they haven't outperformed all these other countries like many seem to insinuate.


Of the 15 countries with at least 10mil population, they have the 5th highest deaths per 1million



OF 95 YEAR OLD PEOPLE! Who gives a shite. They are going to die of something. You all need to find another hill to die on.

DGAF about "cases." Show us the chart for deaths. That was the question.


You are using the HailMichigan argument though. You can't look at death numbers just when they support your case and ignore the case numbers.

People were trying to use the same argument when La was starting the second wave. When spread increases deaths will increase. Obviously each wave will not look the same, but saying that Sweden will not see some sort of uptick in deaths is just ignoring how death rate works.

That is the other aide of the argument, the balance. “Performance” is function of more than one variable, you are downplaying the bolder one.

The UK is united, unless us. If only Hillary were in charge we wouldn't have so many deaths.

So what have we learned class

You can do nothing, and lose about .05% of your population with an average age of 80


You can go middle ground, and lose about .05% of your population with an average age of 80


Or you can lock the frick down and lose about .05% of your population with an average age of 80

So ultimately, we learned this is a contagious virus and humans thinking they can control it are retarded

Kind of like the weather, no?

The collective hubris of modern society is downright frightening, as is our belief in benevolent governance.

Imagine if Russia appeared out of nowhere with any balls

It would take three days to take over the entire European continent with how soft they have become.

No defenses to speak of. No one can run a underground resistance because there arent any weapons there. They lockdown for a handful of deaths.

The amount of soy is next level.
