According to this article, Sweden seems to be plateauing despite the horrible idea that gyms are still open and someone might have gotten stronger during this. Interpret as you will.

Let me be the first...
I ride on a very short bus, with a helmet.. trying hard to lick the windows. Basically a bubble head.
And even I can see the following:
The virus is bad, very bad. Highly infectious and will mostly likely kill loved ones who are high risk if not careful. Who may die even if careful...
This caused a “shoot first, aim second” hyperactive panic.
That panic caused a “throw the baby out with the bath water” melt down. The economic fallout from that which we may never really recover from.
Worse than that, we've given up Civil Liberties and Constitutional rights (for us in the U.S.). History shows once given up... it’s unlikely to ever get them back. Without more deaths.
Once we open back up there will be a second worse wave of all of the above... that’s when the crap will really hit the fan. More lack of trust for the media, and government. Civil Unrest, martial law, war, etc. etc.
I believe evil mean and women will continue to conspire against us. By us, I mean free people who are saddened by the loss of life, but who cling to personal freedom and responsibility. People who want to have the right to choose.
Admittedly though, I’m not one of the smart ones with neat graphs, percentages, and sources. So what do I know? Plus... I’m an optimist.
Unsure if this has been posted yet...
RTL Today - Leading German virologist: “So far, no transmission of the virus in supermarkets, restaurants or hairdressers has been proved.”
Good one, Mike. An excerpt:
These research findings have already provided some indication on how the virus works, as Streeck clarified:
“There is no significant risk of catching the disease when you go shopping. Severe outbreaks of the infection were always a result of people being closer together over a longer period of time, for example the après- ski parties in Ischgl, Austria.” He could also not find any evidence of ‘living’ viruses on surfaces. “When we took samples from door handles, phones or toilets it has not been possible to cultivate the virus in the laboratory on the basis of these swabs….”
“To actually 'get' the virus it would be necessary that someone coughs into their hand, immediately touches a door knob and then straight after that another person grasps the handle and goes on to touches their face.” Streeck therefore believes that there is little chance of transmission through contact with so-called contaminated surfaces.
The fact that COVID 19 is a droplet infection and cannot be transmitted through the air had previously also been confirmed by virologist Christian Drosten of Berlin's Charité. He had pointed out in an interview that coronavirus is extremely sensitive to drying out, so the only way of contracting it is if you were to “inhale the droplets.”
However, there are different findings on how the coronavirus spreads. Experts from the US Institute of Health CDC and NIH had come to the conclusion that the virus can survive 24 hours on paper, three hours in aerosols and up to three days on plastics and stainless steel. As the Robert Koch Institute states on their website, however, scientific studies like this are realised under experimental conditions, which is why they are not very representative for the risk of transmission in daily life.
Venezuela, China, Hungary, North Korea, and New York get close enough, Noah.
