I’ve been wondering if Forumosa should ban the conspiracy theorists spreading falsehoods about corona virus- not from other subjects on other threads; just this one, where their misinformation can kill. I’ve come to the conclusion: no, because nobody listens to their ranting anyway. Still. it’s a thought.
I had enough it this time, such a load of bullshit!!
You call out these conspiracy theorists they don’t even bother defending the random shit they posted…They already moved onto posting more shite somewhere else…
They always seem to bunch their conspiracy panties together…It’s like the whole world is arraigned against them …Vaccines…Tests…Health experts…morons!!!
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING ON FB OR TWITTER IT DOESNT MEAN ITS TRUE. ITS OFTEN POSTED BY BOTS.
Sweden’s been quietly removed from the UK’s quarantine list. It appears that having 13 people in ICU and zero deaths a day is finally enough to be considered safe.
It’s something to chew on, but Sweden is also pushing social distancing in a big way. It’s not that different than many other countries is it ?
For some reason they aren’t seeing a ramp up of cases that you see in other countries though . Probably because they have less poor neighbourhoods in general and smaller numbers of shared accommodation units and they are truly able to keep distance . Until I see some hard data to supporting herd immunity I wouldn’t bet on it being a big factor.
They also do contact tracing in Sweden .
Everyone in Sweden is currently advised to work from home if possible until at least the end of 2020. That applies regardless of your job, risk level, or contacts, but it is subject to what is agreed between employees and their workplaces.
People whose jobs cannot be done from home will in general still be going into work (although those in risk groups are eligible for compensation if they cannot do so), while other workplaces require employees to come into the office at a limited timetable or for certain meetings or tasks.
Another interesting one is they don’t wear masks much although the karolinska institute is now recommending people to wear masks there.
It also seems that they have implemented local lockdown in Sweden.
No, it still doesn’t. If you go into Google and then type in “local lockdown Sweden” you should get it for free. It’s how the FT attracts new subscribers.
Because when I look at the details, Sweden still takes social distancing and other measures very seriously. Everybody who can is recommended to work from home No bar service. No groups bigger than 50 etc. It’s not particularly normal except for they didn’t have a national lockdown. They are fortunate the disease isn’t spreading rapidly like many countries right now.
I think I read that Israel is going back on lockdown.
Dunno how France will do with the jump in cases from 5000 to 10 thousand a day. UK going from 1000 to 3000 a day and counting. Spain 12 thousand a day.
