Funny if you look at these exchanges and wonder, who you would like to have a conversation with at a dinner party or BBQ.

Ha, I do the same, I’ll have a beer with anyone.

So let me get this straight. You cherry pick countries that have nothing in common with Sweden, with no justification whatsoever, and then say "See, Sweden's doing great."

I respond with a selection of countries that can be justified as being more like Sweden than any of the countries you chose, and your response is, essentially, "Nope, I disagree with your justification for selecting those countries, so I'm right!?!?!''

.

Demographics is not your strong point. If you feel that Finland and Norway are "equal" to Sweden.

Again, Demographics are not your strong point. Perhaps you don't get out much. I have a colleague in Sweden that I communicate with regularly, Gagnef area. I lover her so.. Sweden is nice... I thought to relocate there once. But... "what is here is elsewhere, What is not here, is nowhere". It's tough living in paradise.

But think of the children.... Transmitters every one! Hidden infectious enemy of the people! Certainly the enemy of SCIENTIST and ExPERTS! They DO NOT COMPLY!
What shall we do?

My father warned me about battles of wits with an unarmed opponent.

May I seeeee your papers sir....

Once hailed as a COVID-19 “success story,” Peru is now the COVID-19 case study that lockdown advocates no longer want to discuss. Lima is on pace to surpass Belgium (another strict lockdown country) sometime next week as having the world’s highest COVID-19 deaths per million. So why is no one talking about it?

Road to ****, paved with best intent....

....It is pretty safe to say that pretty much no research is "definitive". I admitted to as much earlier. That's how science progresses. But claiming "I refuse to believe" when there is overwhelming evidence is naivety at best, or worse, willful ignorance....

"Overwhelming evidence" to what degree?...what the "evidence" does prove is that distancing (from the point of dispersion) is more important than a mask...and then there is the question of what kind of mask/filter, material type ?...

To get any real insight into the degree of effectiveness wearing a mask provides (in dealing with the spread of the COVID virus) test subjects both mask wearers and non mask wearers would have to be studied over periods of time...knowing the number of mask wearers that still become infected would be paramount in determining the effectiveness of (identical) masks...

Knowing that masks can be effective in limiting disbursement of droplets and may filter microbes...is not evidence of limiting the spread of COVID per se...

I don't think there is anyone contesting that masks help by controlling the disbursement of droplets...but IMO of all the precautions the public has been advised to heed ( i.e., distancing, don't touch face, wash hands etc., etc...)...wearing a mask is by far the least important...other than when close proximity is unavoidable...

citing all the studies has really nothing to do with the actual subject...some peeps want the public to think wearing masks is as good as a vaccine...

BTW...just curious...how many of those studies you cited are funded in by private sector entities and how many by public resources??...and finally, just who are the entities in the private sector?

BTW...ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand...LoL...but some peeps (or is that profs) will believe anything...:laughing:

Kids just don't get it these days.

And from this chart, they don't give it either.

Maybe aerosol transmission is the reason.

"They're dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression, but staying in shelters is simply not an option for some people. During the pandemic, homeless shelters have had higher rates of coronavirus than outdoor encampments...

Maybe if they just wore masks, everything would be better for them..
