Where is everyone at now
Sweden looking like they got things right then.
Who knows ?
Maybe, maybe not.
Vast areas of Sweden have very few inhabitants. But there's the elephant in the room for all of Europe which the Mainstream media don't like published. Large parts of the big cities in Sweden have a very big mainly North African/ Middle Eastern population who thumb their noses at social distancing. They also tend to be mostly young therefore not as likely to catch it or at least be asymptomatic.
Which is the norm here as well. The obsession with diversity and the lack of will to tackle any mass gatherings by these communities have distorted the statistics. The government should release figures based on ethnicity. It wouldn't be racist as they'd be cold hard facts. But of course they never will.
With this new 'Rule of 6' it will be interesting to see if anything changes. We wait with bated breath.
The government refuses to release any statistics which go against what many see as a deliberate policy of engendering fear in the community. People described some of the tactics used in the Brexit debate as project fear. This fucking nonsense is project fear on steroids FFS.
We now know, according to proven scientific data that MILLIONS have caught this disease worldwide and have recovered fully. We also know that many people have died with the virus. However we also know the vast majority of the fatalities are among the elderly and people unfortunate enough to be in poorer health than most. But the government, aided by the media persistently emphasise the negatives. The infamous "R" number appears to be god at this moment in time.
Surely it is totally unreasonable for a government in any democratic society to dictate how many guests we may invite into our own homes. Most people are not stupid. They know there is a virus which potentially they could catch. So they have a choice, just as we have a choice whether to invite people round or not.
We are forced to wear those ridiculous face coverings when in supermarkets. Yet we select for our own consumption fruit, vegetables and all manner of produce which potentially has been handled by dozens of people before ending up in our trollies.
I've just C & P'd this which I think is very interesting. I wonder why the "recovered" figure for the UK isn't shown ? Answers on a postcard. It's also interesting to note that the confirmed cases figure for the UK is thought by many medical and scientific professionals to be very low'
