Sweden's top state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell must feel vindicated now. Tegnell has admitted that Sweden failed to adequately protect people in nursing homes and the elderly and sick. And has said that if he were to do things again, he'd implement a policy that is somewhere in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world did. But Sweden didn't turn out to be the absolute disaster that fearmongers thought it would be. Some epidemiologists said that Sweden would have 100,000 COVID-19 deaths. They had 5,744 in a nation of 10.1 million people and the death curve was like 99% crushed or some shit (I'm not exaggerating). Something absurd like that. Back in Apr 10-16 Sweden averaged 99 daily deaths. Now the 7-day rolling average is 1 daily death. So Sweden (10.1 million) is basically at or maybe slightly better than where Ontario is at (14.7 million people) right now. With a much lower unemployment rate. With only voluntary social isolation.
Now Sweden's cumulative death rate is +140% Canada's. However Canada is living in fear of a second wave with massive unemployment and massive deficit spending while Anders, Mats and Ingrid are drinking pints of Carlsberg and laughing their fucking ass off at the rest of the world.
I understand what Sweden did is controversial. Imagine trying to convince the Canadian public that if you open up the economy, COVID-19 deaths in Canada will be 21,443 instead of 8,947. A lot of people won't be able to accept this. After all even in the nasty 2018 flu season (one of the nastiest flu seasons we had in a long time), only 8,511 Canadians died of flu/pneumonia. 21,443 deaths is a lot. Even if Canada learns from Sweden's mistakes and puts in a better effort to protect long term care homes and protect the elderly and sick. Even if Canada may very well catch up to Sweden in the future with a second wave, third wave, etc.
At the end of the day it would take a lot of balls to do what Anders Tegnell did. Anders received death threats.
I'm in contact with some street-involved people and always just avoid physical contact, stay away if I can avoid touching them/stuff/things and give a fistbump instead of a handshake, wash hands and generally act like a non-retard around these types of people who are more likely to be vectors to me, I think that's how I caught it.
It was like a rough flu. The ones that already caught it and died were probably already immunocompromised. I never usually get the flu.
I was already recovered by the time it was even on my RADAR, and before CBC knew what it was.
Sweden has actually become far more capitalist in recent years because they realized that too many third world immigrants were pouring into their country to collect gibs rather than to work. I am not Swedish myself but I know of an acquaintance in Sweden who is half-white half-Arab Muslim. Born and raised in Malmo in an immigrant ghetto with lots of Muslims, Africans, South-East Asians, etc. And he says that the welfare office only pays like 8,000 Kronor/month these days (800 euros/month). Which is worth fuck all in Malmo. Malmo housing and rent is expensive as fuck. And he has to go to the welfare office on a regular basis, attend job, interview and resume workshops and show proof that he's applying for jobs. He is depressed because he says that he's too low IQ to find a job in Malmo. Leftists would say that he is a self-hating Muslim for admitting this. No one wants to hire him because he's not worth minimum wage. And rent is too expensive in Malmo to get by on welfare. So there is this cycle of hopelessness in Malmo for immigrants and children of immigrants.
I actually agree with the left that poverty is a problem. But because we aren't allowed to have frank discussions about race, we can't solve the problem. The truth is a lot of poor black, indigenous and "people of colour" in poverty are low IQ, have developmental or behavioral problems, fatherlessness problems and have trouble adapting to rat race capitalism, especially with increasing automation and outsourcing abroad. I think the solution is to lower the minimum wage and provide more affordable housing to the people who are already here because these people already uprooted their lives coming here. And outsource less. And then reduce further immigration.
It's amazing to me that when New York implemented their stay-at-home order March 22nd, they only had 209 confirmed COVID-19 deaths. And by the time they lifted their stay-at-home order June 13th, they had 31,470 COVID-19 deaths. What the fuck?
I know that some pneumonia and other respiratory illness complication deaths in the early days weren't diagnosed with COVID-19 because there was far less testing in the early days. But you'd think that as soon as you notice all these people coming into the hospital and fucking dying that you'd shut it down before it gets to that point right?
Yeah case numbers are more reliable than COVID-19 deaths because with cases you either have COVID-19 or you don't. The meditating factor is how much testing you do. Whereas with deaths you have to make a judgment call as to whether COVID-19 contributed to the death. Hypothetically speaking if pneumonia fluid was filling your lungs while you were driving a motorcycle and you lost control of your vehicle while you were struggling to breathe, you could make the argument that COVID-19 contributed to the death. But if you weren't' on that fucking motorcycle, you would probably survive that pneumonia. If you have pneumonia, you shouldn't be driving a motorcycle anyways. You should be resting at home until you recover.
I wouldn't put it past China to be going to public parks with a lil spritzer bottle of COVID, either. Why aren't the homeless dropping like flies? Why isn't Africa in flames as we speak? why does Vietnam have 0 cases and only 500 deaths total?
Remember everything that happens in an election year is about the election.
Because COVID blew threw the homeless communities already in Dec/Jan and any deaths weren't attributed. (minimal, homeless immunoresponse BTFOs the virus).

The same people who cry about 13/50 or the %50 cured trannies.

Unironically based and IQ-pilled.
You generally at least have to be "midbrained" to to an honest self assessment and compare yourself to the average.
It's unironically a sign of intelligence to admit you have a low IQ.

I can answer that:
