Hello Sebastian, thanks very much for this update. I'm just curious, how hard is it for Americans to get Swedish citizenship and how popular is Starting Strength there?

The Reason Interview With Nick Gillespie – Reason.com
Interview with a Boston area ER doc. Seems pretty measured and knowledgeable and worth a listen. The take home is that the IFR is likely to settle around 0.5 to 0.6%, as speculated here several times. He says, however, that this is not merely 5-6 times the fatality rate of flu (and that it presents much worse clinically than any flu), as the 0.1% rate typically thrown around is likely a wild overestimate, for many of the same reasons that this disease has been hyped--public health, vaccine advocacy, etc. (or government control, depending on your politics). While he believes any comparisons of COVID to even a bad flu are grossly irresponsible, he advocates for reopening the country ASAP, with more rural and less population dense states freer to do so earlier.
"Freer." Amazing.
Big shout out to Georgia for being the guinea pigs...and I love that he is gonna open massage parlors, tattoo joints and hair and nail salons with " strict social distancing in place"...so you are gonna need a massage therapist , a tattoo artist and your hair stylist to have at least
6 foot arms
Also in the end we are gonna have to thank all those HIV + people because it was the knowledge we gained from treating them which will help us tame this virus and I am sure it will be a HIV med which will treat this too
The authors have reported their conclusions on news outlets such as ABC and LA Times, yet they have not made their paper available for public (or any?) scrutiny. This is unethical.
So I guess Belarus had a 12 self quarantine for folks coming in and then the President recommended vodka and saunas.
It has worked as well as anything else....but to be far, the people I have met from there are tougher than most, so maybe they had the Chuck Norris factor in their favor.

Centuries of culture, history, tradition, tastes, preferences, genetics, religion and group-think opinion do not somehow leave the body of immigrants like an exorcised poltergeist the moment they cross the border.
In unassimilated communities, those differences will persist indefinitely; In many examples, this has lasted over 1,000 years. You are from an area that seems to have learned this from experience.
New Yawrkers are a good domestic example of the same. When they flee NY, they bring their problems and political philosophy with them, they don't leave it behind.
The 50 year time frame is a scenario conditional upon the specifics of the system and in particular, its international ramifications, which I think will be large. Your 10 year scenario could be correct too under different scenarios. Too many variables exist, so I can make a guess, but I am only confident that most of it will be wrong or strictly dependent on the specific scenario.
My views are similar, but instead of calling it "aggressive opening of markets", I would call it "aggressive globalization and increased government intervention in the markets"
I was curious about Noah's modelling paper, so I did a google search and came up with this instead:
"If you want to pass... random topics (like his cat) that you will need to remember."
"...He usually talks about Geography and his cat during the class."
Don't they let you have dogs out there in LA?
