Sweden’s Semi-Lockdown: A Middle Way That Won’t Crash Their Economy

This is not really in that category, Ken, because this is a biological warfare weapon that was unleashed on the world either accidently or on purpose. The Chinese were researching a way to take HIV and Sars and combine it with a virulent bad virus to make it infect humans. They succeeded in killing at least a million of their own as the virus escaped the lab perhaps on purpose or perhaps accidently. It is the Chinese economy that is going to crash because no one will ever buy anything from them again, at least not in the USA.

 

This strawman argument is an outright lie. Every epidemiologist acknowledges that it will peak and decline on its own. The problem is what will happen to our populations and health systems if we just let that happen without any intervention.

With regard to Sweden a lot of people inside and outside of Sweden feel their approach is a ticking time bomb about to backfire.

It is starting to look that way.

Sweden Coronavirus: 9,141 Cases and 793 Deaths - Worldometer

 

I work in Commercial Land Planning (Architecture/ Civil Engineering/ Government Permitting) and we are already seeing leading indicators that look TOO much like 2008 all over again. Big Business has started hunkering down and putting the brakes on new Commercial Projects. That translates to an abrupt decrease in new construction starting in about 3-6 months.

I agree, the shutdown is crushing the economy.

 

here in the State of WA we have adopted a sane approach of sorts.

counties with less infection, more activity is allowed/suggested - WA is now in mortality decline.

my county - mason county - population 60,000 - 18 total virus cases - no deaths.

went into Shelton yesterday for a car repair. about half the normal traffic on the road.
in town no one wore masks, no one seem to care about the 6 foot social distancing.

i did see a sign on State route 3 "please stay at home".

 

I began calling and cancelling my cardiac stress test patients scheduled for the month of May this week.

It looks like perhaps mid-May or June we may begin to perform elective procedures on a very limited basis.

Here in SE Pennsylvania we are deep into the epidemic. Isolation is the only way to combat its spread currently.

Here in WA hydroxychloroquine is allowed per request of the patient.

WE NEED TO protect ELECTION DAY before the commies shut it down!

 

How are we going to do that?

 

GET THE HEALTH AND ECONOMY OF THE NATION BACK TO NORMAL

 

They have what, 10 million total population?

 

They have many Muslims who live there just for the welfare benefits.

 

Easier then say us with what, 350 million?

 

Might be like escape to New York, those big walls around the big city, eh?

 

So now the beloved liberal paradise of Muslim rape and big welfare, aka Sweden, has announced that they will ration care and not give everyone the whole nine yards of medical treatment because of limited resources. So maybe St. Greta was wrong--it won't be as long as 12 years and it will not be carbon dioxide but Wuhan lab escapee.
