Sweden's daily tally of new COVID-19 cases falls to lowest since May I'm sure you and the U.S. will get there eventually, QG. Stay positive, avoid new contacts and wash your hands. https://www.yahoo.com/news/swedens-daily-tally-covid-19-144454730.html STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden's daily tally of new COVID-19 cases fell to its lowest since late May on Tuesday, a sharp reversal from June when expanded testing fuelled record numbers in a country that drew global attention for its rejection of a lockdown. Cases in the Nordic country have declined sharply over the past few days and on Tuesday only 283 new cases were recorded. That contrasts with a torrid month of June when daily numbers ran as high as 1,800, eclipsing rates across much of Europe, even as deaths and hospitalisations continued to decline from peaks in April. Sweden was slow to ramp up testing for any but the seriously ill and healthcare workers, but weekly numbers for tests have more than doubled since late may, putting the country in the same bracket as extensively testing nations such as Germany. Health Agency Director General Johan Carlson said the slow expansion of testing had left the country with a "testing debt" that produced a surge in cases when thousands with mostly mild symptoms rushed to get the tests suddenly available to them. "In all likelihood, this was a mountain that we needed to dig away at," he told a news conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pdoggg Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Quote "Running the World Since 1776" But one of the few super developed countries in which health care is a privilege instead of a right. Maybe it's better for the average citizen if one's country doesn't run the world. It's a real shame that mask wearing has turned into a political issue and an absolute disgrace that Trump doesn't wear a mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashoka Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just now, Pdoggg said: Good point. But if people were dying in hospitals wouldn't word leak out? Except Thailand has 2 distinct demographics.. young thai's and elderly retiring farangs. Would elderly farangs that pass away really cause news headlines out of the ordinary? Seems to me the only headlines farangs get in Thailand anyways are when they jump out of buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdoggg Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I'm talking about the Thai demographic. What I'm thinking is that lots of people work in hospitals all over the country. Doctors, nurses, orderlies. If people were dying of COVID wouldn't word leak out among the population? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seven Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Here you go , rxpharm. Brand spanking new report on how to stop future pandemics. Among many things: "The report explores the role of animals, and in particular non-domestic animals, in emerging infectious human diseases. This is essential for our global efforts to improve our response preparedness because the frequency of spillover of pathogenic organisms jumping from animals to humans has been increasing considerably, due to the growing magnitude of our unsustainable natural resource use in today’s world."
