Sweden admits mistakes in COVID approach

[Althea]

Mostly the states did the shutting down. What did #COVID45 do -- half an hour of social distancing, yelling at the (D) governors to open back up, refusing to wear a mask even in crowded areas, calling the virus a "Democrat hoax," and simultaneously praising and blaming China?

Ignoring the intel for 3 months was a nice touch. Now he lies about it, and the 'dummkopfs' eat it up.

Nope. we can't actually do more than one thing at time.

Don't know who this guy is but great tweet:

not "mostly" but ALL.
The feds can't come in and shutdown anythingwithout a state of emergency
what the WHouse Task Force did was give the guidelines-but the governors made the final decision
as to implementation how would re-open.

By giving guidelines though that allowed the states to see the basic,
and they could tweek that by county or timeline etc.

So that was Trumps part
This business by ALTHEA that "Trump had the intel for 3 months" is pure hogwash.
the WHO didn't get the basics truths until mid February

We do have sources for information other than the WHO, you know. It's been documented that our intel agencies were aware of and trying to get #COVID45's attention on the seriousness of the virus as early as January. (Some sources I've seen said December but I couldn't verify that.) The Covidiot-in-Chief didn't stop air travel from China till Jan. 31. It took another week or so before he shut it down from Europe, and a couple more days before including the UK. Then he kept calling it a hoax and repeating the bullshit that it was just another attempt to make him look bad and to ruin his big beautiful economy.

Sorry, but your Mango Messiah royally screwed this up, and all because he was worried about negative publicity and the election. It's okay if you can't get yourself to admit it. The rest of us know what's true.

Trump's people are in charge of CDC.

This may come as a shock to you, but the leader of America's executive branch (aka, Trump) is responsible for the performance of the Executive Branch agencies, bureaus, and commissions.

But why was last weeks protests ‘killing grandma’ and this weeks protests are all honky-dory?

And does this mean we can have football in the Fall?

I do not accept your attempt at a terrible analogy.

The gun humpers were protesting the slight inconvenience of not being able to go to the firearms store or stuff their face at Hometown Buffet. The government did not order them tear gassed.

The current situation is a response to long standing lawlessness, murder, and manslaughter practiced by bad elements who are given safe harbor in our tax payer funded law enforcement agencies.

i really love that they phrase it as 43 out of 10000 instead of saying 0.43% is the highest globally because that would make it clear that the 3.4% was a hoax

I am pretty sure mortality rates are calculated on the basis of how many die out of the population which actually contracts the virus - not the entire population

are you saying 0.43% of the swedish population died of covid? lol

Correct, but that would require him to have knowledge of something past 3rd grade mathematics. The two measures are completely unrelated.

You still don't get it, do you? The mortality rate is the number of deaths per 100,000 population. So no. You're off by a full decimal place. .043 percent of the population died of Covid. The infection death rate is the percentage of those infected who eventually die. Right now, for Sweden, that number is extremely high, 11.1%, most likely because Sweden failed in their testing as well.

so yeah its the population that gets covid so 0.43 percent of them? which is way lower than 3.4%.

You are going to have to pay someone money to teach you math, probability theory, and statistics - I am not going to teach you for free.

Dumb as a rock.
No he obviously does not get it, and he is not remotely aware he is conflating two unrelated metrics
