Covid 19 inconsistencies

[The avantgardener]

This is a pretty straightforward chart from the University of Stockholm with predictions of just how likely you are to die from Covid, I bet seasonal flu would show similar numbers.

Have they got a chart for surviving but then having resultant organ problems,  respiratory  problems , thickening of the blood etc etc ?

Email them and ask. Have you got any charts showing how many of these survivors didn’t have these underlying issues before they got Covid?

We all have our own confirmation bias, it’s human nature. You’ve more than alluded to your own. I did post facts, unfortunately you could not read them. But as it does not sit with you’re own personality held views I doubt you’ll do any of your own digging into it. Such is the way when you sit in your own echo chamber.

 

I never said Sweden had herd immunity, I said they where heading towards it. I’m not plucking these views out my ass you know.

 

 

Yes, we are all heading towards herd immunity and it does sound like Sweden my be getting there quicker which is good news for them. They do have a high death rate though. I had already read that article, the experts who claim Sweden has herd immunity have been criticised by quite a few others. The headline is false as they don't have herd immunity. So yes it comes down to which facts we want to believe.

 

Just because I don't agree with your views doesn't mean I only read what I believe to be true. I'm more than happy to change my views. But since I'm not a virologist I will listen to the advice from people like WHO, PHE,DOH, CDC, ECDC. Suppose it makes me a sheep.

I also read the headline I myself posted....

Again, I have not personally stated they have. At the time I was on my phone and the app will not allow links to be attached. There is plenty of articles clearly stating that Sweden is well on its way to having herd immunity, which if you look back at every post Ive made on the subject is all Ive ever claimed.

That is a very subjective subject. It will be years before all the data can be collated on this subject. A few extra deaths that are potentially a few weeks early verses an endless list of life saving measures canceled due to the over reaction?
