Coronavirus - International stories and thoughts

Sweden 300 deaths in the past 48 hrs

others under 60 deaths combined

 

Wow, they are up to 132 deaths per million, last week when this new talking point started showing up they were in the 70s.

 

. Succinctly says it all.

 

I watch Cuomo Presser each day around 11:30...he explains his proposed mitigation efforts important to re-opening so very well with facts and data supporting all conclusions. Without grandstanding or back patting, or self adulation...it is so refreshing and reassuring that we have some grownups in leadership positions doing excellent work for the benefit of their citizens.

Somebody please explain to me how France, whom we were told had the #1 healthcare system in the WORLD by the WHO, has a death rate of 11% from Covid-19? I've had many a debate with progressives about UHC and how France was the model, etc etc. What a joke.

Great to know so many are donating plasma...

 

Someone was telling me the other day we should have done what Sweden did because it was a more reasonable approach, and when I looked up there numbers, they already have more deaths than Florida (which has more people, and no one would say is doing a "great" job managing the epidemic). I was wondering how in the world what they are doing would be considered 'reasonable' if its worse than Florida?

 

Its true, we need to look to Cuba, not France for how to deliver quality healthcare
