Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

They made their choice. They lived (and died) with it. Just like we make choices (for-profit medicine and guns) and live and die with those choices.

Their numbers --- while worse than other Nordic countries --- are still better than many EU nations.

 

Workers weary, patients angry as COVID-19 fills Michigan hospitals

 

Weren't you the one posting endlessly on this thread last year dissimilar areas shouldn't be compared?

The only fair comparison for Sweden is its neighbors, and it fared far worse than them.

Their choice got more of their citizens killed.

 

yes but they got to eat delicious riblets kroppkakor to own the libs

 

I’d say they deserve to be sued out of existence, but there is that while assumption of risk thingy.

 

Reckless disregard for reasonable health measures would negate assumption of risk by the customers. It would show negligence to the nth degree.

 

Made the mistake of reading some CBC articles about the pandemic in Canada. Sounds like border control checkpoints in provinces and Ontario being locked down through mid-May. Nothing gets me pissed off more right now than reading about "third wave" stories.

I think I've brought this up before, but if I were on the other side of the border, to have to do months-long full lockdowns because public health and medical officials can't get their shit together 13 months into this would make me want some politicians (and public health officials) heads on a plate. Don't read too much into this because I've been having a bad mental health day all day, but I'm skeptical of all this lionizing of the "heroes" of this pandemic when this is the best they can do at this point, even in most of the countries that "did it right." It seems to me, whether it's Canada, Japan, continental Europe, the UK or even the US, all of these governments and public health agencies deserve different brands of 'F' grades for their results on mitigating this.

 

liblets?

 

Dissimilar = The United States (pop 328 million) vs. New Zealand (pop 5 million). Not so much Sweden* (pop 10.3 million) vs. Belgium*** (11.6 million).

***2,032 deaths per million
*1,358 deaths per million

Why isn't anyone talking about what a colossal clusterfuck of a failure Belgium is?

 

The DeVos GOP machine has been battling every credible tactic to counter the pandemic every step of the way, including an armed attempt to seize the state Capitol and a conspiracy to kidnap and kill the governor.

 

If you go to the gym, get sick, then spread it to me in the office or while I’m getting groceries, I didn’t assume jack shit from the gym. Sue away.
