Also enjoyed this recent podcast with a doctor talking about palliative care...



Thought I suppose anyone calling themselves 'BJ' is likely to make a good first impression.

But the deaths per capita in Sweden are 10x Norway and Denmark. I also saw that the economic hit in Denmark was in the same ballpark as Sweden. So Sweden had similar economic hit for 10x the death rate.
The Swedish approach by design was going to have more cases and unavoidably more deaths to get to the herd immunity threshold. The death rate was about 10x Norway but 5x Denmark. It's also about 34% less than Belgium, and 20% less than Spain or the UK (all of which had heavy lockdowns, and a current case and death rate much higher than Sweden), so a lot of criticism of the Swedish approach is based on cherry picking. It's ludicrous to think just comparisons with geographic neighbours is a conclusive argument. There are actually many reasons why Sweden differs from the other Nordic countries other in ways where more deaths were expected. Here's a paper that looks at 15 of them.

Both Denmark and Sweden have very trade dependent economies, so a certain amount of GDP loss in each was baked in. Norway has a petrodollar based economy, so it was partially shielded, though not entirely because of the fall in the price of oil. A lot of the economic damage from lockdowns is medium and longer term, so the comparison has not played out entirely yet. Economic loss is only one negative consequence of locking down, there are also additional deaths due to lockdown and quality of life factors. It's foolish to put the downsides of lockdown all in the economic bucket.

For another comparison here's Sweden vs Illinois, which may seem kind of a random, but they are similar is population, density, and rural/urban distribution.

Well anywhere in the US will be worse than just about any other country in the world.

How about Sweden vs. South Korea?

Taking a step back, I think the point of lockdowns/masks is to get the number of cases down to a level where testing and contact tracing can keep the virus under control. Some countries seem to have done this and some countries have not. Part may be how early they started doing testing and tracing or how soon they had lockdowns. In the US we did not start testing until way too late, and then did not test enough to find all cases, did not have lockdowns until too late and lifted them too soon. The lockdowns are not supposed to go on forever, just long enough to get the number of cases manageable by testing and contact tracing. If you start early enough it doesn't take long. The other issue is overflow of ICU beds and hospital resources. We have had this in some states and countries. That's what flatten the curve is all about.

The Great Barrington Declaration
As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection.

Coming from both the left and right, and around the world, we have devoted our careers to protecting people. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health. The results (to name a few) include lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health – leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden. Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice.

Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.

Fortunately, our understanding of the virus is growing. We know that vulnerability to death from COVID-19 is more than a thousand-fold higher in the old and infirm than the young. Indeed, for children, COVID-19 is less dangerous than many other harms, including influenza.

As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.

The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.

Adopting measures to protect the vulnerable should be the central aim of public health responses to COVID-19. By way of example, nursing homes should use staff with acquired immunity and perform frequent PCR testing of other staff and all visitors. Staff rotation should be minimized. Retired people living at home should have groceries and other essentials delivered to their home. When possible, they should meet family members outside rather than inside. A comprehensive and detailed list of measures, including approaches to multi-generational households, can be implemented, and is well within the scope and capability of public health professionals.

Those who are not vulnerable should immediately be allowed to resume life as normal. Simple hygiene measures, such as hand washing and staying home when sick should be practiced by everyone to reduce the herd immunity threshold. Schools and universities should be open for in-person teaching. Extracurricular activities, such as sports, should be resumed. Young low-risk adults should work normally, rather than from home. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sport and other cultural activities should resume. People who are more at risk may participate if they wish, while society as a whole enjoys the protection conferred upon the vulnerable by those who have built up herd immunity.

Since it is just old people getting sick should we even consider opening overflow facilities? What's wrong with just pushing them out of existing hospitals on to the street? This has to be expensive:

Hope you have all taken your Zofran today. Spent an hour and a half with a student Masters social worker on the phone ('calls will be recorded for quality assurance') attempting to appear competent and 'normal' as a successful psychosocial assessment is required for a transplant. After all the necessary stuff about not starving and becoming homeless, and did I have a will and an enduring POA (not a Piece Of A...Ahem), along with an appointed substitute decision maker for "those times when I cannot speak for myself", she ended with introducing us to "Spoon Theory". I was polite and restrained, as the situation required (running Empathy v.2.01β, as I try to do these days). But for recovering ex-Pharyngulites who wondered about their lack of spoons, here is the link forwarded by the charming and well-meaning young woman: https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles ... on-theory/

Poor child has no idea what she has to deal with here. Dinosaurs from a previous æon, we don't complain, nor accept it 'might take a year before you feel as good as before in terms of fatigue' - we just get on with it. I'll be on top of the world by merely surviving. Fatigue is not a symptom; it is a mode of whining. Suggesting those who cannot understand what I am experiencing will suddenly get it by having me throw spoons at them was actually rather amusing. I refrained from going full Monty Python: "Dessert spoons or tea spoons?" Nor even "Do we have to use hospital spoons or are we encouraged to bring our own spoons so we can feel at home?"

Actually, the poor kid did OK. I would take off one star for the repeated use of my most disliked word in this respect: 'journey'. She did not know I am sworn to kill anyone using that abhorrent word for the experience of cancer treatment. I know, they mean well, and use it to make their experience of talking to the dying easier. But it does get fucking irritating to those who are doing the dying. I did suggest that not only would I prefer not to be pestered by a padre of some stripe, but that said padre would also prefer not to have to meet me. Nonetheless, apparently I must show suitable acceptance of the program's norms by bringing my own bed linen, pillow, comforter and artwork for the room in which I am to be confined for some weeks. I guess that means the hospital cannot afford sheets and blankets any more.

Ha! This is beginning to sound like the memoirs of Paul Frederick Schnellbecher, more fondly known as Queen Pee, Paul Ess, or Da Kween. An old alt.tasteless poster who described his descent into the various hells of care homes, as a very gay, diabetic amputee until his death in 1998. Glub save us all.

Woooow. See, I thought they were going to make some clever analogy about the number of clean spoons you have before you're forced to re-use them and as time passes your ability to clean them is reduced and they get dirtier and dirtier each time but no, just spoons as currency. I guess we must all be "counting [our] spoons" each month, eh, screw?

Good luck in confinement! :handgestures-salute:

Not sure why anyone would waste their time plotting to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, when all you'd need to do is throw a bucket of water on her.

Little Missy might want to wonder about the all the cutlery these lucky friends voluntarily send her way putting up with the deadweight. Just saying, insensitive bastard that I am. How about the poor sod who pays her to sit in front of a computer nursing her hands?

I read your scary post on Harris. It appears she is more of a traditional politician; scheming, conniving and power-hungry. Gimmicks like identity politics can get you elected, but you don't succeed and get re-elected unless you make life better for the average voter. To go OTT, one imagines a crazy pol being elected on a platform of reparations for all oppressed minorities, but the consequences would mean no second term. Successful politicians are willing to do what the majority of voters want in order to stay in power. Trump got that bit right for a start, but has failed to change in response to the public's mood changing; instead he has stuck with the same script and it doesn't look like it will fly a second time.

Politics is all about getting elected. Promise whatever you have to to get elected. Thinking a politician means what they say is no different than thinking an actor is the same as the characters they play. For example:

As a party operative back in the last century, I got up close to plenty of politicians -- both figuratively and literary, as in once holding and umbrella over Walter Mondale's head.

I recognize that nearly all politicians are damaged creatures: narcissists, egomaniacs, with scant scruples and often no moral compasses. Kamala, imo, goes well beyond that typical moded. As I wrote, I firmly believe she is a sociopath. Couple that with the Dems' current zealotry and mob mentality, and their determination to blow up the Republican form of government with its checks and balances that've served our nation so well for two and a half centuries. I fear a Harris presidency will result in a totalitarian, one-party state.
