Corona Virus

[nullnor]

and before the hurricane hit Puerto Rico they had the biggest 3M manufacturing plant in the US for N95 mask. but instead of rebuilding the island we threw paper towels at them. there's the irony.

[nullnor]

I'd have to disagree. According to North Korean reports, they have precisely 0 cases of coronavirus and 0 deaths. How did the South do better than THAT metric?

dude they are on the border with China and more tourism with them than any other country. obviously N. Korea shot anyone with the virus. i may be authoritarian but even i'm not that naive. and i am pretty naive.

Can we get that in a per capita format.

a year from now you'll find out that N Korea was one of the hardest hit countries and that is why Kim Jong Un is in hiding.

i blame Brad Pitt. he's from hollywood. heh. he can play any role. he's a very good actor. tremendous. he knows about viruses, he was in a movie where he played a CDC guy.

[nullnor]

when an authoritarian is in hiding he's not supposed to officially quote unless he is in double secret 'hiding'.

Thank you sir--the other link was difficult to traverse.

Yeah, you are right. Not sure why I used that one.

Ok, so this is what we have so far among Scandinavian countries:

Cases/Million
Sweden: 2,368
Norway: 1,471
Finland: 1,006

Deaths/Million
Sweden: 291
Norway: 40
Finland: 45

Years later, maybe Sweden's model will have emerged best. But based on evidence that we already know, it's quite easy to pick out who's done it right and who hasn't.

Um, no? I mean, Sweden went in eyes open that they'd have a greater first wave rate. But it's not going to be years before wave two hits; probably only five to seven months.

Lead poisoning cured the Coronavirus cases in North Korea.

Might be a difference in semantics, but they said recently that the high death count surprised them.

Well, I guess we'll soon see if their theory works out for the 700% more they sacrificed as their neighbors did in Wave One.

[nullnor]

you can't actually debate with someone or a country going all in with eye's wide open. and Sweden was the only industrialized country that did it. i think it will work out for them. but just because it worked for them won't mean it works for us.

it's time to go down a dark road. just because other countries were more prepared to handle the carnage doesn't mean it's not the path we must go down too. they are showing us where and how we made mistakes in preparation, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't follow.

but this is advice from a hoarder and hermit and seclusive guy. i've been doing this my entire life, so your mileage may vary. but now you are in MY WORLD. and in the world of the blind, the one eyed guy is king. so i got that going for me.

demonstrably false as shown by this thread.
