This was after all supposedly before anyone even knew much about the virus. So I feel the same way about Sweden. If Sweden is developing herd immunity why is the the medical system not overwhelmed. If two million of Sweden's 10 million people had contracted the virus, even over several months, the hospitals would be overrun. If you ask a nurse or a doc here they'll tell you here in Stockholm its pretty bad. The elderly cant or couldn't be moved to hospitals as that would be the last trip they'd make. They're too weak. Some hospitals were full. Its taking a toll on workers in the long run. 12-14 hour shifts and recently they were told they can forget summer holiday. Problem is and was, the homecare companies and their staff. Its a free market these days, before it was the state health care, they employ very poorly educated people in just healthcare, low paid, some hardly speaks any swedish. Swedes don't want these type of jobs as the privileged middle class are too precious for cleaning jobs , drive taxis, long shift at hospitals. You get the drift, its capitalism in its most ugliest shape. Money is more important than lives. They the staff had no clue this stuff was going on as they don't follow the news or media. No protective gear and adequate training. I'm being kind in my description of these private owned companies who hire as little staff as possible to make big money from the tax financed health care system. They are parasites, I hope they ...........of ........with lots of agony, and get....... up the ass right before. Twice. What was the question again? Herd immunity. Yes, thats what we need before the vaccine is out. You can't lock up the virus, it would take months or even years, and no society will survive that. Sorry for the rant. Happy workers day.

I think the point was that apart from fluffy lap dogs there were live animals like fish and chickens being sold for food alongside wild animals like lizards, frogs and parrots which could transmit infectious diseases which could then be passed on to humans.

Along with meat producing factories and prisons. Some states are still not reporting the number of cases specific in these type of places. In Ohio one prison with over 2000 inmates had an infection rate of around 70% plus 168 correctional facility workers. One US federal prison reported no inmate cases as they had performed no tests. But four of the workers there tested positive. The county I live in, less than 1/2 million population, has reported around 350 cases and about 20 deaths. The next county over, and less populated by maybe 15%, has reported about 1800 cases and about 100 deaths. They have a meat producing plant that employs 6000 people. They closed the plant for a cleaning but apparently Trump says it's full speed ahead to meat producing plants. My state did what was suppose to be a Phase One opening this week. You could pick up non essential items curb side from stores that were previously closed. No restaurant dine in or barbershops yet. I went out today and many stores were open that I didn't expect and the grocery stores were at nearly as full as a usually weekday. About 20% not wearing masks. The have been very slow for the last two weeks. It is 79F/26C today so the weather doesn't help cabin fever. If summer doesn't slow the spread of the virus I predict states like mine will start will suffer by the end of May (I'm not a doctor I just play one on the internet).

You can't lock up the virus, it would take months or even years, and no society will survive that. Sorry for the rant. I have no problem with rants as I do them probably way too often. But I still have the same problem with herd immunity. All the people with herd immunity will have to have been infected. The latest population numbers I saw put Sweden's 2020 population around 10 million. How many will it take for herd immunity? If half the population were infected over a six/nine month period there would be a huge load on the medical system. You can't have infection without a certain number of people getting very sick. I therefore just don't believe in herd immunity unless one is willing to live with the resulting disaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 " under the skin " surveillance may define this epidemic . by this time next year or maybe the year after we will all have to download an APP of some kind that does more than track and trace. When the history books are written this may figure as part of the new world order for better or worse . I bet the tech guys are as busy on this as the boffins are studying the virus... we will have to see.

seven Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Sweden admits failure to protect elderly in care homes Sweden, whose softer virus approach has garnered international attention, admits it has failed to adequately protect the elderly, with around half of COVID-19 deaths occurring among nursing home residents. Stockholm (AFP) - Bjorn Branngard's mother died in a Stockholm nursing home where five of the eight people in her section and more than a third of residents have so far succumbed to the new coronavirus. "They didn't have time to take care of my mother," he told AFP. Her coronavirus test came back negative two days after her death, but Branngard, who claims she died of neglect, says the nursing home staff lacked protective gear and were spreading the virus around the home.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The flight from Italy was one of the last arrivals that day at the Stockholm airport. A Swedish couple in their 50s walked up and loaded their skis into Razzak Khalaf's taxi. It was early March and concerns over the coronavirus were already present, but the couple, both coughing for the entire 45-minute journey, assured Khalaf they were healthy and just suffering from a change in the weather.

That has been a big issue here also. A significant percentage of deaths have occurred in nursing homes in comparison to the population in general. The Chief Medical Officer has been running the show and the politicians have kept out of it except when making decisions and announcements based on his advice. This has now resulted in an R number of about 0.5, so all going to plan it will continue the decline of the spread.
