It’s totally insane to me. Not just refusing to wear one because you’re a spoiled idiot baby, sure, but screaming at other people to take theirs off? What is the reasoning behind that?

I was pretty baffled about Sweden until someone I know from there explained that Their scientist think that a vaccine isn't going to happen or take too long to matter, and that herd immunity will work. So while the numbers are higher now, they will reach herd immunity faster and the same number of people will die over all from corona virus directly. IF they are right it actually sounds semi reasonable. Especially if they have enough flexibility on average to isolate the old and at risk. (Also it will spread faster if no one wears masks.) I probably won't have any opinion of if Sweden is crazy or crazy smart for a few years. I am personally waiting for more information and wearing my mask when we go out. We managed to make it 22 days without going out, and are about to shoot for 40 so we can completely isolate for 20 days then hang out with our old people.

Sweden’s business-as-usual approach was specifically cited as ideal by Rand Paul during his insane rant at the Fauci hearing a week or so ago.

It’s a risky thing to attempt with a brand new disease we don’t even know if herd immunity will exist for. Slowing down the spread isn’t just to lower the curve it gives medical professionals time to find new treatments to reduce mortality from the disease. A lotta chuds keep saying “the same amount of people were going to die no matter what we do so we need open up now” when that is just not true.

I'm just astounded by how no one has been shot yet for coughing on someone or attempting to get them to de-mask when people have been shot for asking others to wear masks.

Also like giving the healthcare system time to prepare. Like flat out, if we hadn't taken measures in Canada we would have been hosed. The hospitals didn't have the equipment or capacity to handle Italy level spikes in March or early April. Not to mention when things get bad, you'd have to compensate for healthcare providers also getting knocked out by the disease further reducing your capacity to treat. Thanks to distancing we've had time to prepare and are in somewhere a better position to ride things out if the numbers stay managed. But I mean as things are they already had to call in the military to help staff long term care facilities because of how many caregivers were getting sick.

Not just refusing to wear one because you’re a spoiled idiot baby, sure, but screaming at other people to take theirs off? What is the reasoning behind that? The GOP death cult has successfully indoctrinated their most loyal base to believe that any attempt to work together as a community (county/state/national level) is impossible, because any type of interaction with someone who doesn't identify 100% with your belief system is the enemy and should not be talked to, only yelled at in a shrill manner. Any attempts that the other side makes to accomplish anything (even if it benefits everyone equally) should be protested, subverted, and destroyed without hesitation. To a lot of them, wearing a mask is a giant political statement (not an attempt to protect yourself and others) and must be resisted and if possible destroyed to preserve the "American Way". Also. . . -Any type of financial assistance from the Government to the people is a handout that makes people lazy* ** -Any type of political concession, appeasement, compromise, agreement with your rivals is a crime -People who are poor, get sick, or die are somehow deserving of their fate. -Having something in common with or doing something that people on the other side of the political spectrum do means you are a traitor -Any bad things that happen to you/your country is the fault of your political rivals, no exceptions. *unless that person is very rich, then they deserve it **unless it's a massive company, then they deserve it Z the IVth posted:I'm just astounded by how no one has been shot yet for coughing on someone or attempting to get them to de-mask when people have been shot for asking others to wear masks. It's the people not wearing masks that are the one who have the murder fantasies and want to shoot people. People who are wearing masks actually value human life.

Opening up just means they will have an open ICU bed for you. So yeah, let's all pile into the local dennys and cough on each other. Everything is great again.

Tegnell's guiding assumption seem to be that containment isn't really possible in the long term, but I think it is likely that he will be proven wrong. A lot of other countries have shown that it is indeed possible to contain the pandemic through a combination of lockdowns at first, followed by the intensive contact tracing and extensive testing. Also, they reaaally haven't been succesful in terms of isolating the old, an astounding amount of the dead lived in nursing homes.

Also don’t go to the ICU if you don’t have the right insurance. Making others pay for your ventilator time is communism. Shake it off at home because it’s deadliness is overblown by the lib media. Even if you have insurance going to the ICU is against the narrative.

Dear Watson posted:It’s a risky thing to attempt with a brand new disease we don’t even know if herd immunity will exist for. Yeah, I am not interested in taking any chances, but I also have anxiety and moved out of a major city because I am worried about things like this so my personal positions are likely unreasonable. If I were in Sweden I would still be isolating as a pretty healthy person. The reality is that I didn't know what a "lipid layer" was last month so I am not ready to commit to calling anyone crazy. (Like official people making decisions. Anyone protesting anything right now looks pretty crazy to me.)

I don't wear a mask because it makes people upset and it's hilarious. It's not at all political. Hey the government also said to drive the speed limit so make sure you do that too. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Son of Rodney posted:Isn't Sweden literally first place on deaths per capita? After the dust has settled we'll see how the tactic of "business as usual but try to keep distance, if you want, idk lol" compares to others but yeah it comes with a heavy price. The last time I looked the death rate per million for Sweden was like 450 and USA with 310. Hypothetically, if at the end of this the difference between massive stay at home orders versus sorta business as usual, the only difference is maybe an 30% higher rate, it is absolutely not clear if that prevented the most deaths overall and almost certainly caused more suffering.

I mean a 30% higher death rate in the US would be an extra 30,000 dead as of now. I'm sure those people would disagree. "I mean it's only the equivalent of if we filled up Madison Square Garden one and a half times and machine gunned everyone inside. What's the big deal?"

I'm waiting for it. But, in my opinion, people who wear masks are generally not the type of people that would be hostile since they are the ones trying to be safe. I don't want to say I'm hoping for someone to defend themselves like that, but I am. Not getting shot of course but punching someone out or something. edit: If someone just touches me I'm knocking them the gently caress out and then pepper spraying them.
