    The Swedish economy is expected to slow down by 4 percent this year. It is a disaster, according to independent savings economist Claes Hemberg. But Sweden has still managed the corona crisis twice as well as the rest of Europe, where the average is 8 percent minus.

    - These 4 percent show that things are twice as good for Sweden as the average in Europe. Our relative openness has made it possible to continue producing, importing and exporting. The rest of Europe has instead sometimes stopped working, says Claes Hemberg.
    Dude, Sweden sounds like trump.  

    "Sweden has still managed the corona crisis twice as well as the rest of Europe"

    With the only measure being economy.  Nice.
    Sacrifice people's lives for the economy, yep very Trump-esque.

    It's maddening to me that Trump is using a tactic to keep himself safe that he won't ensure Americans have proper access to.

    BC is moving to stage 2 September 8th. (These stages have changed. Stage 2 is f/t for all students; there are density requirements that keep all grades in school more throughout the stages as well.)

    For the young kids, learning groups will have 60 kids maximum that share space, so they can be traced when cases occur; the older kids have larger cohorts of 120. 

    https://bctf.ca/newsreleases.aspx - The teachers' union responded: "Government plan for reopening schools needs more time and work."
    and key concerns are:
    • Authentic consultation and collaboration at the local level between school districts and local unions.
    • Health and safety measures in place and tested before staff return to the school site and before students return to class.
    • Time in September for teachers to plan, prepare, and undertake the necessary in-service training and health and safety orientations to enable equitable learning conditions and safe workplaces.
    • Smaller classes to ensure all of the children, youth, and adults that share our school spaces can adhere to the physical distancing protocols we have all been asked to maintain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    • More clarity around the proposed “cohort model” and how that will keep teachers safe while ensuring students still get their full education.

    he's claiming it's possible he got covid BECAUSE of wearing the mask (trapping covid in the mask so he could breathe it in). what a fucking maroon.

    Stella Immanuel, Trump's New COVID-19 Doctor, Believes in Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquine. https://www.thedailybeast.com/stella-immanuel-trumps-new-covid-doctor-believes-in-alien-dna-demon-sperm-and-hydroxychloroquine?source=politics&via=rss
    Just the look of the video seemed like an amateurish homemade propaganda sham. 

    Of all the doctors, and maybe the others are crazier, he endorses Immanuel? 


    What’s the current standing of hydro chloroquine as a viable treatment? 

    I wondered the same thing yesterday & came up with this from the New England Journal of Medicine:

    ”CONCLUSIONS

    Among patients hospitalized with mild-to-moderate Covid-19, the use of hydroxychloroquine, alone or with azithromycin, did not improve clinical status at 15 days as compared with standard care. (Funded by the Coalition Covid-19 Brazil and EMS Pharma; ClinicalTrials.gov number”

    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2019014

    This article about the results are a little more in depth, and mention the study from Henry Ford Health that claimed its use was indeed effective: 

    https://medcitynews.com/2020/07/hydroxychloroquine-flunks-phase-iii-trial-in-mild-to-moderate-covid-19/


    Hardly the end all be all, I would welcome more information if people have it. 

    Well, there has been one positive observational study at the Henry Ford Health system. But there have been 3 actual clinical trials that have shown it to be ineffective as a prophylactic or as a treatment. The FDA has rescinded its Emergency Use Authorization due to concerns that there is no evidence of any usefulness, and unnecessary risk to the patient. 


    Jeff...off-topic...just noticed your new picture.  Seattle Kraken...terrible name if you ask me.  But GREAT colors/logos/jerseys.  Kind like my team, the Minnesota Wild.
    Yeah, I've been waiting so long for a hockey team in Seattle (40 years!) that I decided beforehand that I didn't care what the name was. lol. So it certainly wouldn't have been my first choice, but I'm all in at this point. Hats and t-shirts have been ordered, and looking forward to the sweater design being finished.
    Did the minor league team leave?

    That wasn’t ”Sweden” talking. 

    Sweden is 5th in total per capita deaths and may soon pass Italy for 4th. Remember how bad Italy was?

    Are congratulations in order?

    And the US is doing its best to catch Sweden. First the states opened early and cases exploded. Soon we’ll open schools to ensure we catch Sweden.

    saw on twitter a side by side of a meme he posted of nic cage feeling satisfied with the caption "when liberals scream at you across the street for not wearing a mask" and his death announcement. 

    i take no pleasure in the death of anyone. but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Fauci is now suggesting that eye protection can help against the virus. Makes sense. Whatever germs you can get in your mouth or nose, you can get in your eyes. But it took him four months into the pandemic to realize this and offer it?

    While everyone is solely focused on trump, leaders and experts from all over the world have failed us. This is literally they’re job.

    how have they failed us? this is a completely new virus that no one knew anything about. trump failed because he doesn't take the advice of the experts when they find something out, like most every other free world leader has done with great success.

    But Trump's been particularly bad. As have been the De Santis-types that followed him blindly.

    I’m not getting into a back and forth. It’s my view that countless leaders and experts failed us. Not only Trump. This pandemic completely exposed us.
