Lol this was the country that all the right-wingers were holding up as a "common sense" solution and wondering where all the deaths in Sweden were if shutting down our economy was so necessary not even a week ago.

I love wildly pivoting positions and lines in the sand on a day to day basis.

Worst part about the situation in sweden is that the virus has been spreading mainly in Stockholm so far, but this looks to have changed now. If you think it looks bad now rest assured it's gonna look loving terrible very soon

its probably correct for that small town but is definitely missing all of the people who were infected there during the celebration and then left when measuring outcomes. also we know that some communities are hit harder than others. theres a lot of wider evidence that the CFR is still north of 1%

“To me it looks like we don’t yet have a large fraction of the population exposed,” says Nicholas Christakis, a doctor and social science researcher at Yale University. “They had carnivals and festivals, but only 14% are positive. That means there is a lot more to go even in a hard-hit part of Germany.”

the article is not in any way positive.

My sister is an NP in a management position for a contract group that provides care visits to SNF/homes in the state. She had 3 NP's quit last week because they were too scared to go into those plague dens and I don't blame them. "Oh none of our residents are positive for roni!" Except all of them are having an unspecified respiratory illness and nobody is being tested. I'm glad my sister isn't a fox droid like my parents and is operating under the assumption these places are all zero hives for the roni queen.

14% of the population in one town. There also seems to be weird differences in CFR no one's been able to explain adequately, in some Italian towns it seems like it's as much as 5%. I prefer the Bill Mitchell explanation that the weak canoli blood of Mediterraneans makes them vulnerable to the virus
