Any Swedes bothering to read this thread? If so would be interested to hear your views on how it's going.

Sweden is interesting because it's the only western country I'm aware of that isn't bothering with a lock-down and instead relying on the developing herd immunity quickly strategy the UK originally wanted to follow. Some reports this morning suggest it is working: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ses-chief.html

Herd immunity doesn't work like that with a virus........that's why nobody but the really fucking stupid are trying it. There are currently thought to be two versions (h)(j) but too early to verify.

Yes this is very interesting. Read this article https://www.project-syndicate.org/co...gstrom-2020-04

The COVID-19 death rate is nine times higher than in Finland, nearly five times higher than in Norway, and more than twice as high as in Denmark.

In order to achieve herd immunity you have to front-load the cost. It appears that's what is happening here.

Also very interesting is the international perception is that the Swedes are choosing this as a rational and informed strategy but the article heavily implies that they arrived at this result through incompetence or at least bad organization and leadership.

Healthy people protesting so they can go back to work.

TBH their mistake for not spending their best years cultivating piles of unpainted Warhammer models and video game addictions, like us cool and normal, well balanced folks did.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I haven't bought/collected in a very long time. I've got a tau and space wolf collection gathering dust in a drawer. The persons I use to play with moved away and there just isn't that many people in bum fk no where who play.

cool and normal

My social distancing is miles

Two very cool and very different armies! Maybe you should open the drawer, dust off those old man dollys and start arranging some toy soldier fight scenes? Then again, eq is a very good investment of spare time too...

My social distancing is measured in years [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Y'all better maintain social distancing or the man will come and take you away.

tried reading this swedish model but its written by a guy who likes the sound of his own voice. Can anyone sum it up into 1 or 2 sentences?

Epidemiologist who doesn’t believe in the seriousness of covid-19 leads Swedish response, Swedish government finds itself on its back foot and reverses course months after the rest of Europe, due to statistics showing Sweden having a death rate significantly higher (at least double) than neighboring countries
