    What the LIBERAL RAG The Hill does not bring up (or I missed it):

    A Phoenix-area man has died and his wife was in critical condition after the couple took chloroquine phosphate, an additive used to clean fish tanks that is also found in an anti-malaria medication

    Open up Sweden


    The corona epidemic is a learning process for everyone. We still know too little. But we know some and can draw preliminary conclusions. The statistics from Italy, best communicated by SVT's Italy correspondent Jennifer Wegerup, are clear. On Saturday, statistics were published for 3,200 people who have died, infected by corona. The median age was 78.5 years. 98.9 percent of them had other, usually several, serious illnesses. 17 people under 50 have died. All had other serious illnesses. No one under 30 has died. For a large majority of those infected, the disease is mild. The dark number is reasonably very large and thus the number of immune.

    To attribute 3,200 deaths in relation to something, it is good to know that 50,000 people per month die in Italy, (7,500 in Sweden) most often in a combination of old age and diseases of the circulatory organs and sometimes by the usual flu. No care facility and no society saves all lives at any cost.

    Italy's demographics and society differ slightly from the rest of Europe. The country has an older population and an exemplary close relationship between the generations. But before death, man is quite similar, so let's assume that the ultimate threat to all, the risk of death, is similar to Italian. Is it a reasonable balance to quarantine the healthy and younger population in order to protect the sick and the elderly? Is it not better to do the opposite and, like South Korea, isolate clear risk groups, mass tests and home foules infected, clarify and demand an individual responsibility of the elderly and let the rest of the population function and work as usual and prevent the infection as far as possible with hand washing, sick leave on cold and successive immunity?

    Keeping the economy and society up and running is also a protection, and by extension, an infection protection as health care will not work if the economy collapses.

    Being forced to go down to working 60% (instead of my 80%) because of Corona. While my colleagues go down from 100 to 80. 

    So... yeah....

    Only loosing 5-8% of the pay though... I think... i don't really grasp how it works. A lot of percentages flying around.

    Maybe I can add 20% to my other job though... if they are in a pickle to get stuff done in time. Will see.

    Anyways. It's temporarily so no real harm done.

    Which one from 9 News Melbourne posted it?Kind of reckless of a journalist, not citing sources and posting something in such apparent support of and signal boosting Donald Trump?
