Anyone else here see this virus as a blessing in disguise?

Honestly. If it convinces countries to renationalize the production chain of their vital needs and block china, it will have saved billions of lives.

I keep warning. Here in europe experts keep trying to quash the rise of antibiotic resistant organisms. And it works for those originating here. It's even started working with america. But 3rd world and specially chinese farms keep producing, enhancing and spreading that shit. Specially china. I know a professor that works in preventing that shit and you have no idea how much effort, time and money is invested in keeping chinese antibiotic resistant pathogens from crossing our borders. It's really fucking scary. Corona is FAR from the most dangerous shit they're exporting. This could've been so much worse.

Public Health Authority: Far too early to relax

The corona curve goes in the wrong direction.

Today, another 131 deaths were reported. It is clear that Sweden is again at a slightly higher level.

"It's definitely not over," says Anders Tegnell, state epidemiologist at the Public Health Authority.

During weeks 13 and 14, there were approximately 1,000 more deaths in Sweden than expected, overall. According to the Public Health Agency, it is clear that the deaths in Sweden this year will be significantly more than during a regular flu season.
- There have been more deaths than expected. It is definitely not over, we see this not least in this small upturn in Stockholm again, says Anders Tegnell with reference to the general picture of the corona virus in the country and the pressure on health care.
Loss of death
In total, Sweden now has 2,152 confirmed deaths and 17,567 confirmed coronavirus disease cases. Both in Stockholm and a number of other regions, there is a tendency for cases to increase.
One reason may be that there has been an increased backlog of reported deaths lately. According to the Public Health Authority, they still receive cases from the Easter weekend.
If the increase is a consequence of people traveling more, the Public Health Authority cannot answer.
- It's hard to know. It may be that the Easter holidays and increased social contacts may have kicked things off again. If we have a peak that later disappears, that indicates a lot, says Anders Tegnell.
Too early to relax
According to Tegnell, it is still far too early to hope that life will return to normal.
- It is not possible to relax, because then we see this kind of increase again, he says.
The Swedish Agency for Social Protection and Emergency Preparedness (MSB) also warns of an increase in the number of coronary cases if citizens do not continue to comply with the Public Health Authority's clear restrictions.
- There is a significant risk that people start to relax prematurely and stop following guidelines. Continue to follow the authorities' advice, continue to be source-critical and be part of the solution, says Svante Werger, special adviser at MSB.
All of Sweden is affected
Anders Tegnell cannot answer what the spread of the corona virus will look like in regions that have so far managed so lightly. But the forecast is bleak.
- It is wise to have good preparedness, it will come, the question is only when, says Anders Tegnell.

The Public Health Agency also reveals that despite claiming that they were going to try and do something about the death toll delay at the beginning of April, it's still a big problem. http://archive.is/Dme8g
The Public Health Agency has underestimated the death toll

At three different press conferences, state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell stated that the death toll due to the corona virus has begun to stabilize.

That message was given, among other things, during Thursday, April 16, when Anders Tegnell also said that the average deaths per day were around 60 people.

- If we go further back there are quite a few new cases every day. So we can probably expect that these 60 will probably match, Anders Tegnell said.

But later the number has been written up, to the average of 90 dead per day.

According to a review by Sweden's Radio Ekot, the Public Health Agency has on several occasions underestimated the development of the number of deaths in covid-19. While the situation seems to be stabilizing, the average number of deaths per day has increased.

One reason for the forecasts being incorrectly stated is the backlog in reporting the deaths. The delay can cause the development to look in a different direction than it actually does, writes the radio channel.

That picture is also shared by Anders Tegnell.

- That myself and others, we are many who have sat and watched this, have underestimated the backlog and underestimated the development, it seems, when you look back quite clearly. I have no problem with that at all, he tells Swedish Radio.

Anders Tegnell: "Much that will be different"

Anders Tegnell says that the authority has not tried to hide anything, and that the prognosis of the deaths has not affected the decisions taken. He also says that the backlog in reporting has diminished, even though it has become larger in recent days.

On SR's question about the state epidemiologist should have understood that the average was higher than 60 deaths per day, he replies:

- Yes, when I look back, but there is a lot that will be different when you look back.

The Chinese Communist Party must be laughing their asses off that they don’t even need to bribe or infiltrate the American media to have them do their bidding. If they play their cards right: maybe people in this country will be stupid enough to completely tank the economy “for safety.” I can’t decide if the reason people are so deadset on staying closed for months is because they’re making more money off unemployment than they were working or they’re whiny little bitches afraid grandma might die if we open up too soon.

As someone who has a comorbidity: I would much rather take a chance of dying from corona virus than lose everything I’ve worked for and let these pearlclutchers continue to impose their bs on everyone else. People who want to stay locked down aren’t all simps with nothing to lose, but simps with nothing to lose all want to stay locked down.

I had plans to inject some bleach, but then I saw a headline that said I shouldn't so I stopped. Didin't read the article though so idk.

I'm kidding and I hate that I feel obligated to say so, though I also feel that most on here would understand without a disclaimer.

I read somewhere today that in order for the numbers that came from the Santa Clara antibody study to be accurate, six million people in New York City would have to be already infected. You have to admit, even if everyone took the subway and the virus had the means to spread to that many people that fast, which it doesn't, six million is a fantastical made up number.

Alright, news time. Yesterday there were none overall. Today we also have barely any. Since directive finally put the laundry war to rest union's on that sweet spot where they're still on overdrive but don't have much to do so they haven't called me. Which has severely augmented my rate of autism, and I do ask for your forgiveness for it. Hope it was at least entertaining. I take idleness poorly. Though I do still stand by my words just not my manners.

On national news. Economy's in the shitter but it always is. The ONGs are taking care of it and we got the army helping ensure the supply chain and the farms still working on full, so at least we won't be hungry that's for sure. The deescalation is accelerating heavily, I can barely keep up. South is going full open, north is focusing on having ellections again 'cause they had to push them back due to the virus, east is generally going back to the usual level of crazyness.

Overall. This morning will be fun, from the factories that had yet to open, redoubling of exports, letting the children out. Every autonomy is going into economic overdrive, the lockdown is effectively about to die. It'll be fun.

They did manage to get Illa to stop being an idiot so we won't have kids on the supermarket. That's a plus. Memes are fun too. I liked that "resistire" song but I've heard it so much I'm starting to hate it. Seriously people got it on everything. Birds are still dwelling on cities a lot so that's nice. Overall, it's fine. Worrying but fine.

Also, in honor of this most honored of page numbers: hitler's biggest mistake was focusing on the jews instead of the real enemy: those fucking chinks. Change my mind.
