Hedge Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 20 minutes ago, snafu said: No, people in those countries who don’t have a defense budget but like the US to protect them are happy where they live — and like to throw shade on capitalism and the freedoms that the US permits it’s citizens to enjoy. When people in the US hear opinions like yours coming from people living in those countries, we mostly chalk it up to bitterness and lack of information. Perhaps you should go to one of those countries. You sound bitter and underinformed. 7 minutes ago, Hedge said: @jrober38 do I recall correctly that you are Canadian? 4 minutes ago, jrober38 said: Yup.

I thought you'd point to more statistics of the near halt of the virus in warm weather states. Remember how Louisiana was going to be the next disaster zone? The data suggests that every state, but CT, NJ & NY should start looking to reopen ASAP. Build up the herd immunity in advance of the fall season. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not working for Sweden any more. They recently passed us on deaths per capita and they are close on cases, and their numbers are on the rise. The early PR about how they were living smartly and well was just that. Early PR. their per capita numbers are now similar to US, but they did not lock down seems to be working fine for Sweden they are much farther in developing herd immunity since they did not lockdown yet their numbers are no worse than the US which are skewed by the NYC cess pool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
