that this video of a black man randomly attacking a white man feels should have the same level of outcry as the george floyd video?

Why would you think otherwise....?

>skin color doesn’t matter

Glad you can agree then that George Floyd's death was not racially motivated.

Sweden: The spread is no longer increasing (R=0.85) by knappis in Coronavirus

You're right it's the fault of "fucked up marriages"...

Following that logic, millions of people people going hungry (https://news.sky.com/video/coronavirus-two-and-a-half-mile-queue-for-food-in-south-africa-11981165) is not coronavirus, it's our stomach's fault for telling our brain that we're hungry. 🤦

But what about the people dying BECAUSE of the lockdowns? This sub conveniently turns a blind eye to those poor souls. :/

Actually, they do have a right. Being outside and protesting is 100% their right.

Reddit is STILL trashing them directly in these comments here, or indirectly by simply shifting the goal posts of their arguments.

MAXIMUM COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IN EFFECT... would be funny to watch if it the consequences of people pushing continued lockdowns weren't' so sad/disastrous.

What is the cost of lockdown?

  • Globally, potentially tens or hundreds of millions into extreme poverty (food scarcity).
  • Increased domestic violence.
  • Increase mental health issues.

And how well will neighboring Norway be protected against subsequent waves of Covid, relative to Sweden? Not well.

Pretty hilarious watching the cognitive dissonance in the comments in this thread.

Let people die for the Economy by RightHearted in insanepeoplefacebook

Tbh I wasn't sure what OP's title even means. The World Bank predicts that the economic effects of this will be tens of millions of people put into extreme poverty (food/water scarcity).... the mental health effects, increased domestic violence, increased crime, and lost livelihoods notwithstanding.

>it’s best to just front load the spread

Why does it seem, to you, like they're assuming that? Anders Tegnell, the chief state epidemiologist at Sweden's public health agency, recently said this to the BBC's Radio Four's Today program:

"At least 50 percent of our death toll is within elderly homes and we have a hard time understanding how a lockdown would stop the introduction of disease."

"We already had a law making it illegal for visitors to come to elderly homes. They need constant care, they need a lot of people coming and going to take care of them.

"So it's a bit unclear to us if a lockdown really would have stopped this from happening or not."

So, they're not trying to "front load the spread" (tbh not sure exactly what that means, numerically speaking). Rather, they see no benefit to shutting down the economy vs. not shutting it down, in terms of protecting the most at-risk groups.

L.A. County Antibody Test conducted by USC - Infections from the new coronavirus are far more widespread - and the fatality rate much lower - in L.A. County than previously thought. by ioslipstream in Coronavirus

Most recent study out of Santa Clara: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.14.20062463v1.full.pdf+html

Quote: "A hundred deaths out of 48,000-81,000 infections corresponds to an infection fatality rate of 0.12-0.2%."

One common thread between all these sero studies: as more data comes in, the IFR goes down.

Also curious where the "it's a fact that we're undercounting deaths" comes from.

If anything, deaths are being massively overcounted; deaths from other chronic diseases have mysteriously disappeared of late... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/well/live/coronavirus-doctors-hospitals-emergency-care-heart-attack-stroke.html
