Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Because the Nordic countries have similar population and culture.

Sweden's population is 10 million. It's also twice the size of the UK and is therefore very sparsely populated (although it's claustrophobically overcrowded compared to Canada).

The populations of Norway, Finland and Denmark respectively are 5 million, 5 million and 5 million.

Sweden really dropped the ball by not fully enacting social distancing rules.

The statistics prove otherwise.

Sweden still higher than it's Nordic neighbours.

Just as dumb as a sack of rocks! :)
Thats an insult to rocks.

You be shocked at what you can learn from rock. The entire universe is comprised of rocks and minerals in solids and gasses. Not that much of them to begin with but they tell the story of time, space and gravity with some EM thrown in for good measure.

Last I heard, the entire universe was 99.9999999999% vacuum, and the remainder is 99.99% hydrogen.

All the rocks I hung around with were pretty much mute...…………...poor conversationalists!

You need to learn how to read the rock. Greenstone mafics and ultramafics give me a woody. They have the coolest story behind them. Squat for O2 and Si but high in Fe and Mg giving nice green colours. Olivine is gorgeous. Calcareous ultramafics creates some wild patterns under high pressure and temp that look along the lines of fancy Italian marble with the green and black inclusions.

It's the Si that will tell you the depth, pressure and heat when it was formed.

I did my MSc on the greenstone of the Trans Hudson Orogen . It's relatively new at 1.65Ba.

You'd think JLM would already know that, seeing as how he's so old his schoolbooks were chipped into stone tablets.

May have some questions for you, petros. Bit of a geology lover. For example, Bob Dylan said

I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

So, my question is WHY must everybody get stoned?

Figured a geologist would be the best person to ask.
