Both options of herd immunity or locking down are shit and will result in deaths. Waiting for a vaccine isn’t much of an option as we will be stuck in this purgatory for years.

You’re out of other options.

We don’t compare with Sweden, they don’t need to be guilted into wearing a mask or washing their hands to help each other out

The Swedes don’t wear masks in the main

You couldn’t put those blonde bombshells behind a mask.

That’s it in a nutshell.

[Heyyoubehindthebushes]

We are out of options

They are making it up as they go along and its to protect an underlying health service that has been neglected and in badly need of reform for decades. They are petrified that the system will crumble with any sort of significant rise in ICU numbers and nobody wants blood on their hands.

So our economy is effectively being held to ransom by the mismanaged of our health service over many decades.

This. A FFG made problem.

But the real problem is the civil service

[Thomas_Brady]

Who told you?

[EstebanSexface]

This is your utopia lads

‘It’s been so, so surreal.’ Critics of Sweden’s lax pandemic policies face...

They refused people over 80 and with a bmi of over 40 access to ICU

And that’s just the men.

Fat lives matter.

[Thomas_Brady]

The BMI thing you can understand…over 40 BMI is as good as dead. I’ve no time to read that, but what was their plan for over 80s, home care?

[EstebanSexface]

Morphine

What’s the survival rate of over 80s who contracted? … Didn’t Italy and Spain do the same ?

[EstebanSexface]

They did but it was widely reported. Sweden are keeping everything quiet. They dont release test data because they aren’t really testing enough

[Copper_pipe]

2665 cases in the 75-84 age group.
615 deaths in the 75-84 age group. 33.85% of total deaths to date.

2574 cases were aged 85+
813 deaths were aged 85+ 44.67% of total deaths to date.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

So 1 in 3 die for 85+

1 in 5 roughly for 75-84

Would that differ wildly from the seasonal flu particularly when many of these have underlying health conditions?

That’s fantastic. Hopefully it keeps trending down and we get to level 2
