Arkansas just assumes that 2 weeks after a positive test you've recovered.

Louisiana its something like 10 days after you leave the hospital, or two weeks after your positive test if you didn't go to the hospital.
I may have that a little wrong but it's something like that.

See where our poor Governor chose to extend the draconian measures in the State of Texas despite significantly declining rates. I will not cast a ballot for a Democrat and I damn sure won't support any future political aspirations he may harbor. Playing politics with science has no place in matters of governance.

Tennessee just implemented that as well, supposedly following a CDC guideline. It is now classified as “inactive/recovered”. When it was put in place, the active case load in Tennessee was cut in half (from 38k to 18k)

Is there anybody out there that still thinks Sweden did this the wrong way?
Posted on 9/9/20 at 6:54 pm to Crimsonians
But they had more deaths than Norway!!!

Amazingly enough, I'm still seeing articles weekly saying Sweden fricked up. Then I look at their charts on Worldometer and am apparently seeing something different than what these "journalists" are saying.

Bumps in deaths for Cali, Texas and Florida. 7 day rolling average for all three looks close to or under 100. Texas and Florida are clearly on the downswing of mortality. California is around their 2nd peak (likely).

Had to assume that today would suck a bit, and it didn't appear to be too bad except some death dumps after the holiday weekend. Couple more days without outside bumps and I'd feel comfortable calling this spike completely over.

65% of deaths reported today are from the Legacy Deaths Laundering program - meaning deaths date back 3-12 weeks ago.

Sweden has definitely gotten their response together. I suspect they were helped by the fact that fact that 40% of their households have a single occupant, which is the highest in the world. Where they get dinged is how they had so much more avoidable mortality and no better economic performance than their Scandanavian neighbors. Clearly some people would make the trade to keep a few more things open at the cost of a few thousand lives, especially if they themselves and those important to them feel at relatively low risk, but populations of countries that locked down early and minimized the outbreak have high approvals from their electorates.

The economy thing is bullshite. If every country did what they did, the economy would be good everywhere.

If we lowered the speed limit to 55, how many thousands of lives would we save?
How about if we did away with fuel economy standards?

You’re the equivalent of an annoying mosquito.

Georgia and Sweden have roughly the same population, and we have now exceeded their death toll. The problem with this "avoidable mortality" concept is there's no way to build data that would convince you you're wrong.
Bet if you compare suicide rates and other preventable deaths, i.e. cancer centers being shut down here, in many cases for several months, the numbers are even more stark. Were those deaths avoidable? You bet they were.

Sweden mainly gets bad press because there are easy comparisons to make with their culturally and demographically similar Scandinavian neighbors that also have a similar social-democratic capitalism growth model. To riff off Bass's driving analogy, they're all Volvos with lots of airbags and nice safety features and Sweden decided to not slow down under increasingly hazardous road conditions while their similar Volvo-driving Scandavian neighbor drivers did. Georgia, OTOH, is a little more like a 60's Mustang with no seatbelts that at least decelerated a bit first.

So basically the criticism of Sweden in the media is BS. Got it.
Posted on 9/10/20 at 9:16 am to AUMIS01
It's oversimplified and leaves out a lot, but so is the fantasy that we would've gotten similar results from mitigation alone. They have massively more social trust in authorities than we do. As their public health experts figured out what to do with this pandemic, system politicians from their political parties amplified the message and it was unified and they carried out the plan. It's a goat rodeo here because there was all sorts of cross-messaging and politicization and shite-flinging between different levels of government and ultimately no national plan at all, and with predictable results. Still, as much as we libs hammer how bad we've done, at least we're not the UK or Brazil. . I'll let you have the last word, since Sweden is a digression from the thread generally.
