On the whole Sweden and Denmark have experienced almost equal declines over the year.

... and Denmark has less than 1/5th the deaths/million that Sweden has. 582/million to 114/million. Seems obvious which strategy worked better for these neighbours. But some will still decide to argue it. :shifty:

And before someone mentions sweden’s bigger population, Denmark has over 5x the population density of Sweden.

none of that matters if you examine the issue from a philosophical viewpoint

    These must be the racist Trump supporters I’ve been hearing about.

    Religion. The opioid epidemic of the masses.

    e.g.: https://abc7news.com/ca-church-reop...ancisco-catholic-covid-free-the-mass/6472228/

    Some religious nut jobs are really butthurt that they aren't seen as the center of the universe as an "essential" service. I thought we were mostly past that distinction.

    Now I just have to mock them. Televangelists like Billy Graham and Joel Osteen have been raking in billions of tax-free dollars over decades getting their word of God out over TV to hundreds of millions of the faithful. But yet while every event and conference and musician and theater act has figured out how to move online, San Francisco Catholics and NY orthodox Jews can't figure out how to use Zoom. :disagree:

    Didn't the US decrease the number of tests?

    Balkan countries getting huge (record) numbers these days.

    I think they did a while back, but test numbers are back up again to better levels.

    More worrisome is that hospitalizations in the US have been climbing for the last 2.5 weeks again. Up 20% in that time period from ~28,000 to over 34,000.

    Which doesn’t align with all the nonsense going around conservative circles downplaying this with: rising case numbers are all young, heathy college age kids.

    But even with study after study showing it was ineffective, proper controlled double blind studies too, certain influential Tuz Trump acolytes guaranteed it worked, the studies were all flawed, all the doctors were using it to save lives, and that it was just mainstream Media lying about it, and democrat partisanship suppressing the truth about this miracle cure. What happened? :lol3:

    Over 60,000 new cases today for the first time since mid-August.... but I thought Trump admin was saying this thing is totally under control... and was just gonna vanish like a miracle soon... :shifty:
