    Wait you mean people don’t actually need what baby cow’s need? 
    I've always found this interesting.

    Benefits of being lactase persistent in adulthoodEdit

    The consumption of lactose has been shown to benefit humans with lactase persistence through adulthood. For example, the 2009 British Women's Heart and Health Study[46] investigated the effects on women's health of the alleles that coded for lactase persistence. Where the C allele indicated lactase nonpersistence and the T allele indicated lactase persistence, the study found that women who were homozygous for the C allele exhibited worse health than women with a C and a T allele and women with two T alleles. Women who were CC reported more hip and wrist fractures, more osteoporosis, and more cataracts than the other groups.[47] They also were on average 4–6 mm shorter than the other women, as well as slightly lighter in weight.[47] In addition, factors such as metabolic traits, socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and fertility were found to be unrelated to the findings, thus it can be concluded that the lactase persistence benefited the health of these women who consumed dairy products and exhibited lactase persistence

    I honestly was shocked when they said it wasn’t necessary to wipe down groceries. People touch stuff and put them back every second. How could you recommend to not wipe down anything that comes in from a store? Terrible advice 
    Doubt you really have enough authority on the subject to decide if the advice is terrible or not.

    It is terrible in my opinion.
    See they present as fact and use an escape clause like "little risk" when we know from actual experts over and over that this stuff can live on different materials ...including cardboard and plastic.

    Again, they pushed milk and bread on everyone as what they needed to be eating to be healthy and that is hogwash.

    According to a daily report on the corona situation from the County Administrative Board, there are now “signs of flock immunity in Stockholm”.

    Former state epidemiologist Johan Giesecke is not surprised by the conclusion:
    - Yes, it is perfectly reasonable that being the case. 50 percent of Stockholmers will have had covid-19 within a month.

    He bases his view on the DNA tests and antibody studies done so far.
    - Right now, about 30 percent of Stockholmers have had this infection. It's about 500,000-600,000 people, says Johan Giesecke.

    What are the consequences?
    - It will have small consequences for all these restrictions in our daily lives, they will be put in place for some time, but that means we have better control over the spread.

    When can we feel we are passed this?
    - We cannot by then because there are always some that are not infected. But when you reach 60 percent, you can safely say that it is about to shrink away.

    Science and facts and "opinions" are two different things though. 

    And a baseless opinion could also lead one into thinking desifinacting streets etc is a good thing. 

    Etc. 

    And you should not drink milk. Be vegan.

    Show me those schools outbreaks m8.

    Countries are opening up their schools now. Sweden leads the way once again. This is the 1970s law against corporal punisment of children all over again. Sweden the avant garde. Leading the pack. Ahead of the curve. ABBA.

    None of us (or at least you nor I) are the types of experts to know for sure
    People we both believe are experts say they are unsure, right?

    Either way ...I don't like the FDA.  
    I still think they should be involved if that is the process.  

    I hope the tests work

    I'm not defending the FDA here. I bet they are trash.

    But one expert says:

    Someone asks - how long does the virus live on different surfaces. 

    Giesecke: There are different information coming about that - from minutes to a day. A day I do not believe. But for a while it will live.

    I have enough authority to form an opinion that it’s awful advice. People do gross shit. Cough in their hand, touch a box of cereal, then put it back. I’d rather wipe my shit down thanks. I live in NYC. I’m wiping my stuff. Thanks fir your input though. Useful

    Sweden isn't leading, but it is #10 on the most deaths/1M population due to coronavirus.  I think it was an interesting idea to see how it would play out, unfortunately people were at risk of dying.  Now - it isn't over.  Maybe other countries with a second wave or whatever will fly past Sweden in this terrible statistic.  

    Regardless, I just hope this ends soon.
