If we didnt have that first lock down we were on trajectory to have 60-70% of the pop infected by now. Thats the 2 million death toll. Ive been watching pretty close and it looks we are approaching the levels of infectivity that New York had at the start within the month if nothing is done.

I expect maybe 500-600k deaths by Feb 2021 when the vaccine comes out. Assuming americans arent still fucking retarded by then and refuse it we can reach herd immunity by maybe April.

Take the vaccine people. There were 39k people who were part of the trial and it had no negative effects so far. Chicken pox causes shingles. We dont know what covid will do.

Practically no testing of anyone who isn't wealthy or a high government official.

True that it's nowhere near the level of the measles, but it's extremely infectious.

We cannot yet evaluate the effectiveness of this move, and it was likely at least partly due to public push and criticism. Their graph already looked pretty good IMO, after they lost all those elderly in the nursing homes. AFAIK the Swedes wanted it more strict measures, despite gov't waiting for more evidence to support it being the right move.

My question is, what IS the right move at this point? I've not yet come to a firm conclusion regarding the effectiveness of masks and lockdowns, but believe they are both socially unsustainable as long as a vaccine is not being rolled out at the same time. Hinging a plan on a hypothetical seems bad move. Barring some China style event that breaks the social instability. The simplest solution is obviously to let people govern themselves, but this comes at the cost of a lot of death, largely due to ignorance that the media forced on us by polarizing the topic, and entrenching beliefs on both sides.

I try not to have an opinion on this stuff as it's just divisive, even among my close friends. I try to remain detached, objective and skeptical (due to the complexity of the situation, so many variables) but my friends, who are not mathematically or logically inclined are all so entrenched that if I voice any opposition, right or left, I've created some friction in our relationship. They think I'm implying things or 'taking a side' when really I most often just try and paint a picture of how complex and inherently unknowable these things are. Unfortunately this concept is true for most topics these days.

You guys don't really have the polarizing media circus we have in the USA right? I think that's our biggest problem, along with different policies between states and open travel between them.

With the state of the media in the US I'm just not really sure what our best move would be.

I also feel that Sweden is likely just getting the deaths out of the way sooner, and that if this goes on long enough your death totals per capital may be very similar (considering some degree of inherent randomness ofc).

I think the communication part is one of the reason it has been successful (so far). You have to get your citizens on board. But honestly who knows if our approach or Sweden's approach is the best one in the long run. We will see. I'm comfortable were we are at now though.

Most of the infections now come from abroad. Foreign workers that were either exempted or broke quarantine.

Must a god have those specific qualities? You said yourself only the christian god is claimed to have these qualities (I doubt that, but let's roll with it.) There are many other god described by religions throughout history and across cultures. The qualities attributed to these gods are very diverse.

Perhaps a god would allow a 2 month old to die because the god thinks that is hilarious. Or maybe the god draws power from child sacrifice. Or maybe the god doesn't care about humans and instead only cares about the wellbeing of Martians. Or maybe the god has been taking a million year nap. There are a myriad of possibilities, which you seem blind to because you have limited the scope of your consideration to gods with the properties attributed by christians to their god.

Then I shouldn't care. In point of fact, the more the vulnerable population suffers and dies, the better off I'll be in the long run. Less people = more capital, more jobs.

Look after your own affairs, and let other people look after theirs. They can get vaccinated if they're at risk. No virus eradication scheme in history has relied upon universal vaccination. Smallpox was treated by localised vaccination. There's not even talk about doing that this time.

Perhaps because the test was set up so 2-3% of the results will always be positive? A positive result does not correlate with any symptoms, let that sink in.

Its just the flu. Normal flu can kill you too. Have you ever had a high fever? Some people go blind over a fever. One of my uni math teachers died from some flu-pneumonia lung thing 20 years ago, he was 49, he tought it was just a flu. He was right it was just a flu, people have died from flu and fever and hemorrhoids and ulcers and heart attacks at 36 forever. Its normal, 1% of the population dies every year.
