LMAO. Oh the irony. Once upon a time Sweden was a role model for the left.

Sweden was never a role model, I always attacked them.
I think you liked Sweden though, Lakeshow.
You should have liked S. Korea. They know what's up.
In millions/per millions...

The difficulties of death figures
This table aims to provide a complete picture on the topic, but it very much relies on data that has become more difficult to compare. As the coronavirus pandemic developed across the world, countries already used different methods to count fatalities, and they sometimes changed them during the course of the pandemic. On April 16, for example, the Chinese city of Wuhan added a 50 percent increase in their death figures to account for community deaths. These deaths occurred outside of hospitals and went unaccounted for so far. The state of New York did something similar two days before, revising their figures with 3,700 new deaths as they started to include “assumed” coronavirus victims. The United Kingdom started counting deaths in care homes and private households on April 29, adjusting their number with about 5,000 new deaths. This makes an already difficult comparison even more difficult. Belgium, for example, counts suspected coronavirus deaths in their figures, whereas other countries have not done that (yet). This means two things. First, it could have a big impact on both current as well as future figures. On April 16 already, UK health experts stated that if their numbers were corrected for community deaths like in Wuhan, the UK number would change from 205 to “above 300”. This is exactly what happened two weeks later. Second, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which countries already have “revised” numbers (like Belgium, Wuhan or New York) and which ones do not. One work-around could be to look at (freely accessible) timelines that track the reported daily increase of deaths in certain countries. Several of these are available on our platform, such as for Belgium, Italy, Spain and Sweden. A sudden large increase might be an indicator that the domestic sources changed their methodology.
Where are these numbers coming from?
The numbers shown here were collected by Johns Hopkins University, a source that manually checks the data with domestic health authorities. For the majority of countries, this is from national authorities. In some cases, like China, the United States, Canada or Australia, city reports or other various state authorities were consulted. In this statistic, these separately reported numbers were put together. For more information or other freely accessible content, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.Comment -
KVB south Korea did a tremendous job. They were scared to death from the Sars experience so the population had no issue with contact tracing and all the infringement on privacy that goes with that.Comment -
Quarantine is restricting the movements of sick people.

Yup, if the US can really get testing going they can move forward S Korea style and open up while quelling the hot spots.Originally posted by lakerboy
That would be the way to go here.
Problem with the US is all that division you talk about and special interest. I remember Bezos talking about testing and that's what it takes. He's going to help.
Pretty sure that putting Bezos in charge of even the smallest effort to open things up wont' go well, lol.
He benefits more than most from things staying closed.
Such is America.

I just don't want any waves to overhwelm any healthcare in any major city.
All the deaths and the scene that follows will keep any major events with tens of thousand from happening, like sports.
I'd hate for fear and panic to further our sports debacle.
We need those markets to get going.Comment -

All the liberals, like the media and Trump really hate the idea that of a country like Sweden giving its citizens freedom than America. Here is Trump saying how Sweden screwed up so much by not shutting down: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...25648448348161Comment -

if we get a 2nd wave outbreak anywhere, especially a major sports city. The Hysteria will set sports back significantly. The Atlantic is starting to come down from their peaks. the rest of the country seems to be starting to ramp up to peaks in deaths, but simultaneously be chomping at the bit if not already opening up.
The timing is all fuked up and could really hurt us as far as getting sports with no fans back.Comment -

Denmark and Norway (and Finland) were the countries Trump picked when he tweeted about this issue.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
Those numbers are wrong.. Let's break it down some more in other Countries other then Sweden.. -Originally posted by Mike Huntertz
1) How many deaths are happening because people lost their jobs, businesses and ultimately committing suicide because of a Corona shut down economy? How many families are being ruined?
2) How many drug overdoses are occurring now because of the Corona economy being shut down?
3) How many people are dying from violent crimes also as that's on the rise because of a Corona shut down with the economy and schools?
4) How many people are dying at home from Corona now because they are afraid to go to the hospital and those numbers aren't being reported?
Etc..... I could go on and on..
So many factors to consider.. Shutting down economies I never thought was the answer!!!!Comment -
Denmark was the first country out of all those to shut the border down completely.Originally posted by TommieGunshot
Trump is jealous of Sweden. He didn't want to close but he needed an example to justify the closure to his base .Comment -
You didn't break anything down, you just asked questions. There should be some ways to estimate possible answers and provide sources and methods for how you came up with those answers. Until you do that, the numbers Mike gave are the best data we have.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -

USA is locked down at home, lost jobs, businesses, entertainment and many are getting depressed while going broke and being forced to stay at home...
It's a joke!!! Can't even go to the beach here now.. I'm shocked.. .03 death rate with Corona as well.. Not a life ending disease virus for the population..Comment -

If you want to compare social distancing. there no more comparable countries than Sweden, Finland, and Norway.Comment -
It is absolutely true that people struggle financially and with mental health, that was happening before any of this stuff started. But you continually refuse to tell us how much of that is caused by this pandemic. Just more Liberal bullshit, basing things on how you feel more than what is actually going on.Originally posted by JIBBBYComment -
That post was entirely about deaths related to coronavirus infections, not deaths related to the government intervention in response to the pandemic.Originally posted by lakerboyComment -
