did i miss a report? did the virus suddenly disappear? how about we let it play out more than 8 weeks. Maybe it didnt work. I have an open mind. but to declare that it didnt is premature.
I don't even know what you're arguing there, really. I just know that for someone who insists they have an open mind, you keep repeating the same things without adjustment, no matter what the response is or who the responder is.
If you want to discuss/debate, have at it. Be civil, make good arguments, provide good sources. Be fair and actually open.
I THINK what you're suggesting is that we don't know how things will go. Well, this is a pandemic and it depends on medical consensus. And medical consensus is NOT "let's just keep trying stuff and see what works." In fact that would be irresponsible.
In fact some places have managed to control this far better than others. It's useful to compare their approaches. Based on an understanding of how infectious diseases work and how people can address that threat. Not just "I want it to be this way so let's just do that."
In terms of Sweden--they themselves, the policy-makers themselves, openly say things went wrong that they did not anticipate would go wrong. That's the people who formulated the policy.
