@Spiritual_Chaos, apologies if this was already covered but is there any concern about your hospital systems being overwhelmed? Or is the thought that if you see similar outbreak rates, there is still adequate capacity? Because I could sorta see the argument for this approach if that is covered.0

Until they get a vaccine in place no sane leadership will support this
Which means that Trump will leave it up to others to land in the correct spots on this.
Agree about no crowd activities. They could happen.
If it takes 12-18 I think we will have to do it without crowds.
Or, I could see people who recover being ok to be a part of crowds if they show immunity is carrying.
Who knows ....damn this sucks.Myself?
Im not going to any baseball games, concerts, sporting events in general, for a year. They could open up baseball in July or August, offer $1.00 tickets with a free beer and a hot dog, and there is no way in hell I am going. Same for a concert. Pearl Jam can offer FREE tickets, and I still wont go, until we are in 2021.
Just me.

And both are super duper relevant 👍
Surprised.
I have the guts to admit that my Giesecke posts are friendly mockery, have the guts to own yours as well.
But please, explain where the flame bait lies. Where lies the intention of "instigating"?
Then perheps deal with these feelings of flame worthiness you have, instead of acting out against other posters.
I was just showing a saturday evening in Sweden in april, it being relevant to the thread.Acting out?Trollers gonna troll I guess.You’re either throwing it in peoples’ faces that your country is less affected or you’re throwing caution to the wind despite the advice from the world at large. .

And now you ask - why just two field hospitals? Well:With one hospital in Gothenburg and one in Stockholm, the Swedish Armed Forces has now emptied its warehouse of field hospitals in the country. At the same time, several fully equipped hospitals have been donated over the years.Three ended up in the Baltic countries, where much of the equipment is still in use. Others went to the UN peacekeeping work."Without a doubt, we would have been able to use them today," says Jan Hage, who led the project to build up the Baltic countries' military healthcare - with Swedish equipment.
But at the same time there are a lot of news coverage of there beings problems in hospitals and with ICU beds.
LIke this article I read today:Karolinska University Hospital is now forced to dust off old respirators to meet the expected onslaught of severely ill corona patients.At the same time, the National Board of Health is now warning that there is not enough equipment in the country.- More respirators will be needed, says Taha Alexandersson at the National Board of Health and Welfare.Close to Karolinska Hospital in Solna, the Swedish medical technology company Getinge manufactures thousands of new respirators - but they are [mainly] for export.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

Let me tell you about two trickle down events that have risen because of Covid19, my wife is a forensic nurse she specializes in Rape & strangulation victims not dead victims but victims of abuse, she has to work in tandem with police dept here on Long Island Suffolk county to be precise normally she gets the call either from the ER or police themselves more like detectives. She has learned that since the spike in Corona cases the police have been talking victims out of going to hospital so they don’t have to go into hospitals themselves because of fear of being infected! That just sucks I understand the fear factor but I feel horrible for these victims that can’t be seen if they listen to detectives involved I’m not blaming anyone but it just sucks..jesus greets me looks just like me ....0

Just one of many horrible consequences.
Intimate partner violence appears to have increased significantly, with the need to quarantine. Too much time in close quarters, and no means of escape for victims.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

Domestic abuse cases soar as lockdown takes its toll
Evidence suggests that domestic abuse is likely to increase as a result of the pandemic. In China’s Hubei province, where the virus was first detected, domestic violence reports to police more than tripled during the lockdown in February.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/04/domestic-abuse-cases-soar-as-lockdown-takes-its-toll?Special Report - How the COVID-19 lockdown will take its own toll on health
rapped at home with their abusers, some domestic violence victims are already experiencing more frequent and extreme violence, said Katie Ray-Jones, the chief executive officer of the National Domestic Violence Hotline.Domestic violence programs across the country have cited increases in calls for help, news accounts reported – from Cincinnati to Nashville, Portland, Salt Lake City and statewide in Virginia and Arizona. The YWCA of Northern New Jersey, in another example, told Reuters its domestic violence calls have risen up to 24%.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/special-report-covid-19-lockdown-133743439.htmlCalls for funds to house domestic violence victims during Covid-19 outbreakAs stated - The Swedish Public Health Authority: A full lockdown is something that we see can only be in affect a very limited time.Domestic abuse experts are calling on the government to provide emergency funds as refuges prepare for an influx of referrals amid fears the Covid-19 outbreak will fuel violence in the home.At least 15 violence against women and girls organisations, including Women’s Aid, have signed a letter to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) calling for action over one of the unintended consequences of the coronavirus lockdown.
