I think its disingenuous to say that because deaths are way down in Sweden its because they reached herd immunity. Deaths are even lower now in Denmark and Norway and no one is saying they reached herd immunity.
How ingenuous are you given I did not say they reached herd immunity. How "going for herd immunity" is tantamount to asserting it has been archived or that I claimed they did?
I am not amused at your kick me sign pranks ...
I simply refuted your analysis in choosing Sweden for high levels of social control on this particular subject.

Like I said I am fine with Sweden doing it their way. Lets see where we are at when the pandemic is over. We are probably not even half way though this so any declaration of victory seems premature.
I am fine with you being able to express your opinions. I would be even more pleased with them will a great deal of refinement.

Sweden did much worse than Norway and Denmark. But better than the UK, Spain and Italy.

Such hostility...
You did not refute anything. This thread is full of erroneous so called facts that I had to call out. Sweden is not doing better than their neighbors and the reason they are not doing better is not because 80% of the deaths came from nursing homes. And comparing Sweden to NYC or other totally different areas is silly. I could compare Sweden to New Zealand and they look bad but what does that prove?
Like I said I am for what Sweden did. The results are mixed so far. Not the worst not the best. But worse than their neighbors. And it is surprising that they would choose an almost Libertarian way to deal with the pandemic. Refreshing actually.
And like I said any final conclusions drawn in the middle of a pandemic is premature. Only thing one can predict about this pandemic is it is unpredictable.
You have a nice day. Take a deep breath and relax!
weasel words are cute since they work both ways. "could" can be "could not"
