    A total of 27 people have died as a result of the virus in Sweden after several new reported cases on Monday.

    One of the intensive care providers in Sweden right now is a 31-year-old pregnant woman.

    The Medical Association warns that 6 of the 9 who died in Stockholm are Swedish somali, reports SVT.

    Is that because they are in a tight knit community or something?

    The headline is now changed, to 6 out of 15. (as in, people are dropping off quickly in Sthlm)


    Here is an explanation from the article:



    According to Jihan Mohamed, a member of the board of the Swedish Somali Medical Association, several of them had underlying illnesses.

    - When it spread to Sweden, there was not so much information in Somali and many lived as usual, says Jihan Mohamed, board member of the association, to SVT's Agenda.

    According to Jihan Mohamed of the Swedish Somali Medical Association, five of the six deceased Swedish males lived in the Järva area in northwest Stockholm, while the sixth lived in Järfälla municipality.

    - I don't know why the Järva area stands out when it comes to deceased people in Covid-19, but many live narrowly here. Several generations can live in the same apartment and it can play a part. At the same time, we also know that public health is generally worse in vulnerable areas like Järva, says Jihan Mohamed, to SVT's reporter Rebecca Randhawa.

    Johan Mohamed also says that cultural aspects may have weighed in.

    - In the Somali culture it is important to socialize, support and visit each other, especially if someone is ill. When the virus spread to Sweden, there was not much information in Somali and many people lived as usual, he tells SVT News.

    The Swedish Somali Medical Association has now released information about the virus in Somali.

    Aftonbladet also reported chaos in Stockholm traffic. A nurse who took a bus from Södertälje in the morning tells the newspaper:

    - I listened to the Prime Minister's speech yesterday, that everyone should take their responsibility and keep their distance. So I was absolutely amazed. It was completely packed, I have never been aware that it was so packed in rush hour traffic. I do not have such a job where you can work at home, I have no driver's license and no choice.

    I live across the street from a Somali Mall and mosque here in Minneapolis. It's a BIG social center for the population. It's been dead quiet, eerily quiet for a couple weeks now.

    Unless I missed it, I don’t see much outrage here about the bill that was held up today. Weird. 
    Why?

    This bill was designed to fail by the GOP so they could blame the DNC.  You fell for it hook, line and sinker.
    They could have easily divided this up into manageable smaller simple bills and pass them individually.
    Instead it was written by the GOP as one big bloated corpse, full of corporate hand outs with complete lack of transparency.  

    .....but tell me again how both sides are bad.....

    Do you really believe one side is the cause for all of the problems in this country? I think it is time you take the blinders off.

    I believe one side is the cause of most of the problems.  

    Do you really believe that both sides are equally bad?

    No, but in this particular time there is nobody on the democratic side that is as terrible as McConnell.

    The GOP leadership is particularly rotten to the core.

    Unequivocally. You might identify with one side more than the other but both sides pull the same kind of bullshit.

    The businesses that are deemed "essential" is really shocking to me, at least in IL.  I like a beer as much as the next guy, but when I saw a big liquor store chain would remain opened because it was deemed "essential," it quickly struck me how out of touch this state is (and country).  Either shut it all down or don't.  A store that sells nothing but booze is not essential in a crisis like this.
