I printed this off and used it instead of toilet paper. Trying to conserve. Plus the fresh ink feels kinda cool on da buttox

China calls Harvard when they want advice on propaganda.

For you? Definitely.

TL;DR
First pic:
Assuming this is not seasonally affected: A 4 week social distancing does practically nothing. A 20 week social distancing is the best case scenario.
Second pic:
Assuming this is seasonally affected: The best case scenario is no social distancing at all and we achieve herd immunity before June. Social distancing makes the epidemic worse by saving everyone for the autumn rush.
Third pic:
Third option they present is 10+ intermittent periods of social distancing until 2022. This will save the most lives, but will absolutely destroy the economy.

We can’t keep doing this for 2 more months much less years

So the science isn't even settled on it then?

Good. I hope more and more studies like this come out. It’s time to stop the police state and get back to work.
The government needs to focus on treating the people that have it and stop preventing people from earning money to pay taxes to allow the government to actually do something meaningful.

If this thing is seasonally affected, then Sweden's "let it ride" philosophy will bring them out of this practically unscathed. There will be a window in which they will be overrun, but it will be over in a short period of time.

Utterly meaningless.

I think the bigger takeaway from their findings that no one seems to care about it on here is that short-term social distancing could actually present a big problem for us, as herd immunity won't be able to help us when fall comes around.

Yup. Kind of why I always laugh when I see people bitching about others not maintaining proper social distance. If every individual citizen were to quarantine themselves perfectly, the results could be disastrous when everything reopens. Some exposure is absolutely essential.

Sweden isn't as vast of a country as the United States so couldn't we expect it come in more of a wave here as it spreads across the country?

I spent a bit in DC working at a think tank and some of the absolute dumbest people I have met in my entire existence, and I am from South LA and live in South AL now, are Harvard graduates.
Not only are they dumb, but they are dangerous because they think they know something.

I thought everything was based on ventilators not critical care beds.
