Not very populated country, and yes they at well above everyone else at 7.68%
Rest of the world is 1.6%

I guess 4 times the death rate of the rest of the world isn't badly hit to you..

I think you'll find Sweden is nowhere near as badly hit as many of the lockdowners, including on here, were predicting.

As it says in the article I posted yesterday, lockdowns don't seem to be working in many countries.

Difference is I have met members in person on my travels.. kind of hard to hide the truck :lol:
I didn’t say that posters were not real people , just that they can be who they want on the internet . I believe you are a long haul driver , but the rest can be true , B.S. or anywhere in between , only you know for sure . Some posters are paid political operatives pushing the party line , are they real ? Yes probably , but you are not getting truthful interaction , you get the party line . Some are one trick ponies , remember Tontington ? He had every graph ever made to prove global warming , and could argue the sky is falling until he was blue in the face . Never really got much else from him . Like I say it is the Internet .

I went to get a Chinese from the Lucky Star on Deane Road yesterday but it was shut.

So I got some fish and chips from Syd's on Derby Street instead.

Texas becomes first U.S. state to announce dates for relaxing some pandemic-related restrictions, starting next week
source: WAPO
We can watch and see how it works outforthem.
BC professionals are saying that mid May might be the time for BC to start gradual lifting of restrictions.
Actually...BC is showing good results now........but has to maintain current path for now.
Dr. Henry and team are doing a fanatic job........... including providing excellent information to the public.
British Columbians for the most part are dong their part to assist in getting this under control. So much depends on people behavior.

Saskatchewan not looking at lifting COVID-19 restrictions for travel, gatherings

REGINA — Saskatchewan's premier says lifting restrictions on mass gatherings to allow for large festivals and major sporting events isn't likely to happen for months.

Scott Moe said the timing for easing measures meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 will depend on the infection rate and will happen in phases.
"We are not talking about kicking the economy wide open. We are not talking about going back to doing business as we did before this pandemic hit," he told a news conference Wednesday.
"COVID is here for awhile."
Moe said his government is working to determine which businesses and services may be allowed to reopen if the number of new cases remains low.
Businesses and activities posing a low public health risk will be allowed to resume first, the premier said. A full list is expected next week and will be followed by some time for sectors to prepare.
Moe repeated that grocery stories are already operating, as are other types of businesses, and expanding that list will provide a chance for the provincial economy to start its recovery.
Statistics Canada said Saskatchewan lost about 21,000 jobs in March.
"We are not just in one fell swoop in any way going to reopen the economy," said Moe.
Health officials reported three new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, for a total of 304 in the province.
The premier said lifting restrictions on mass gatherings, non-essential travel and visits to long-term care homes won't be considered in the short term, because they pose a high-risk of spreading the novel coronavirus.
He said it's also likely kindergarten to Grade 12 schools will remain closed.
The Opposition NDP has asked the premier to form a committee of government members to work together on responding to the pandemic.
NDP Leader Ryan Meili said he also wants to see leaders from municipalities, First Nations and labour unions involved in the process.
Moe rejected the request in a letter, saying regular engagement is happening with community leaders and their feedback is helping inform the government's response.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 15, 2020

Get off the pot , you know nothing .

I know you don't care if people die of this illness.

It's pretty clear you don't think is serious so spare me your crocodile tears.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

A fair comparison would be other Scandinavian countries:
Rate per 1,000,000
Iceland 5,140
Sweden 1,369
Norway 1,290
Denmark 1,250
Finland 664
It's worth mentioning that Denmark and Norway had much higher rates of COVID two weeks ago, but managed to flatten their curve.

Sweden's death rate per 100,000 people is half that of the UK, which has a lockdown.

There’s no direct evidence that the lockdowns are working: https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/17/theres-no-direct-evidence-that-the-lockdowns-are-working/

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Despite recording the highest number of cases of COVID-19 yesterday, Florida is beginning to relax self-isolation rules, and now the Beaches have opened again, and are packed.
Americans are stupid.

Good on them. It seems as though the lockdown isn't working.

Many other countries are leaving lockdown, too, such as Belgium.

You don't care that many more people will die of the lockdown.
