Worth remembering that COVID wasn't measles-level infectious when it first landed.

Nice piece of fish posted:And we have to what. Just take this? I mean with sky-high productivity, insane prices on everything, we are just supposed to accept breadcrumbs at the bargaining table? well it's the inevitable consequence of the political direction we're on, which is non-negotiable to the parties of state on both the left and the right and to which even SV are starting to warm up. the current government won power by basically promising to fudge this and somehow square the circle, but it immediately and obviously failed, as represented by the ongoing electricity-price debacle. i am likewise very unhappy with the development, but i really can't see how to reverse it without measures which would dramatically increase the level of conflict within our society as well as between it and our neighbours.

Orio posted:No, I'm asking how that would help in terms of achieving zero covid, which is very different from just limiting infection. I thought that was pretty self-evident from the rest of my post. What kind of answer are you looking for here? Your assertion is that the only way to pursue an elimination strategy for the disease is to "faultlessly implement extreme levels of state control". I don't think that's true in a world where most countries attempted to eliminate the disease, but obviously I can't provide evidence for counterfactuals. I can point out that zero covid wasn't an exclusively Chinese policy, and I don't believe New Zealand or Vietnam welded anyone into their homes. Every country (except maybe North Korea) has abandoned zero covid at this point, but covid is substantially more infectious now than it was early in the pandemic, so the level of lockdown needed to control it now is not the same as it was then.

Sweden also has a system where at least an overwhelming majority of workers can stay home if they feel sick and their employer has no say on the matter. That probably helped a lot when compared to other "open" countries where a lot more people died.

Yeah the presence of a serviceable social security net was probably immensely important, and it being already in place meant that the government only needed some occasional tweaks (karensdag) to make it more manageable for the average Joe. Compare that to the rollout of elptisstödet which apparently was in effect already before November 1st but actually not until just a few weeks ago and also oops big surprise most of it went to corporations no you can’t see the receipts you have to wait 20 years first shut up YOU are corrupt!

Scandinavia by all accounts fared really well through the pandemic, and it seems to annoy some people to no end.

I feel like Norway was pretty close to going with a similar policy to Sweden's at the start of the pandemic. My recollection is that that was initially the plan, except that some of the largest city kommuner imposed their own restrictions and the national government was forced to back them retroactively or look very stupid. At least in Trondheim the kommune itself seemed like it was pushed into that, since several of the largest employers in the city (including the university) sent everyone home a few days before the kommune came out with its own "everyone* stay home" policy. *assuming you work in an office

Because just bruising up people on the streets as a cop is to be expected, I guess?

evil_bunnY posted:I'm already 'ed from all my non-white friends (and only my non-white friends) getting poo poo from the cops when I was in uni. There was an criminal event near my house (sorry for vagueness, specifying the type would turbo-doxx me), and my neighbors looked horrified by how I talked to the cops lol. The only people more incompetent than the perps are the cops who'll never find them. Sadly the cops can't do poo poo if people don't testify and they get some hard evidence. Luckily for a severe crime near our place the perps got filmed doing the deed and hosed up so much that the police found both willing witnesses, so they could arrest the perps an hour after the deed, and ample evidence, so that the perps eventually confessed basically everything. But that confluence of lucky factors is really not the norm apparently.

Nye Borgerlige implosion continues, you love to see it. Now Lars Boje has been deposed and excluded from the party. In other political deroute news, Mai Villadsen will be co-hosting a show with Messerschmidt on DK4. I was worried for a second there that EL couldn't possibly gently caress up any worse.

She went to Støjberg's brother's farm a while back, where she could be portrayed as the out of touch big city politician, being taught how the real world works by the salt of the earth. Imagine thinking "Debate me!" is a thing you should do with right wingers in 2023.

Arguments in D&D are meant to stand on their own rather than on the credibility of the posters who make them, because they are pseudonymous, and knowing forums lore should not be a requirement for participating in or understanding D&D.
