It’s your plan; how many of the most vulnerable require that amount of care? Great question to ask; perhaps you should have these numbers available for your own idea.

Talking about making it up as you go. :laughing:

No you don’t it’s basic math.

If one person can infect 3-5 people daily how long does it take for one person to infect 100,000?

That’s a basic model and not reflective of reality. Sweden is still in the midst of an outbreak with 10s of thousands of new cases per week.

A basic exponential equation that doesn’t account for distance, quarantine procedures in other countries that would delay spread, human behavior that would curb spread, the collapse of the medical system and exacerbation of other avoidable death. Plus an anecdote about someone’s grandmother. Ok
I don’t know why I’m wasting my time.

Sweden’s population is basically captive and separated in small villages and a few large cities.

The disease dies out in 14 days in each infected person.
They cannot transmit it beyond that timeframe.

Sweden did not close it’s borders and have a 30 lockdown allowing only for essential travel nor did they quarantine those most vulnerable.

There is no evidence of that.

80% of those who get the disease do not require hospitalization.

Almost all of those who require hospitalization are in the long identified high risk groups that would be qurantined.

I assume they have cars in sweden?
lol

We have 18.5 million cases in the US right now. What is 20% of 200 million people once it runs its magic course?

Swedes average less than 8,000 driving miles annually and only 14 percent commutes to work from one town to another.

Again, they didn’t close their borders, didn’t quarantine the vulnerable, and didn’t have a 30 day total lockdown.

Only 14% is more than enough. Why spout numbers if you clearly don’t understand them?

We have a current total population of about 325,000.

Really? You’re the one who can’t come up with any accurate numbers to support your claims.

Again, you’re just spouting numbers without any clear direction. Here you are on one hand talking about the virulence of the disease and then telling me that 14% of people commute.
G’night

Americans have a six times greater percentage of commuters and drive nearly twice as many miles annually.

The average commute in the US is 4x that of Sweden.

With 86% of the population not communting it’s very hard to spread the disease from community to community.

I’m not the one having a problem understanding the numbers.

How many Americans have already had it and not reported it because they didn’t want to or because their symptoms were absent or so mild the didn’t know they’d had it?

You really just don’t get it at all.

A third of covid cases are asymptomatic over half are so mild they never realize they’ve even had it.

You brought up driving, not me and where do most people have the most close contact with people outside of their own families?

How do most people spend the bulk of their time driving?

While commuting by car.

And trump would hang up.

They haven’t talked for a long time.

Too much animosity between the two

They were negotiating and trump walked out.

Nancy ripped up trump SOTU speech.

How do you negotiate with that much hatred going on.

Allan

No they don’t.

So you said the vulnerable should quartiniine. My MIL is 80. She depends on my wife and SIL to care for her daily. She obviously should stay home out of harms way. But what about my wife and SIL? They are working. In your scenario, where the economy is largely open, and people are just living theyr life, my wife and SIL would have much greater potential exposure to the virus. Should they quarantine themselves not since they potentially could bring the virus into MILs house?
