Thailand. I've shown you the stats. (yet again), and you choose to ignore them. Sweden's approach has failed, even the Swedish government now admit to that. Pity you can't.

we will be able to compare the two in a couple of months

when the balance is calculated,

that is to say, the testing and accounting just isnt good enough, we need to see if there is any anomaly in countries after new year

as compared to previous years

No lockdown. No tourists? Good for me.

yes, for me personally it balances itself out,

exotic gourmet  food is now nigh impossible to get my hands on,

but i suffer less traffic jam, but i got pension so

i am not personally affected so much by the horrific economy.

but every other thai that must work to get an income are in a very hard time, i lend out what little i can to help them out

in this self inflicted catastrophe

(not the workers but the politicians)

Sweden:   Cumulative Covid cases 96K      Cumulative Covid deaths 5.9k

 

Norway:   Cumulative Covid cases  13k     Cumulative Covid deaths 267

 

Denmark: Cumulative Covid cases  30k     Cumulative Covid deaths 643

 

Finland:   Cumulative Covid cases   10k    Cumulative Covid deaths 346

 

Actually doing very badly compared to its neighbours who did enforce restrictions.

Even Sweden now admits that it got it wrong.

which nation has seen a lower death rate as of late then sweden ?

No lockdown in Pattaya. I was out until 1am on Walking Sreet Saturday night, had a great time. Out locally tonight, I'm sure it will be the same. Intend to visit several bars tonight but won't get round them all. Still too much choice of bars, restaurants and women in Pattaya. There's life in the old girl yet.

the town is half dead because no tourists,

half the shops are closed

i think its a hint to what the future holds,

next step is eye scan at birth and eye scanners

all over the world to check every last individuals whereabouts

at all times.

part power grab and part in response to technology,

soon enough any individual can cause more havoc on society

with modified virus/improvised explosives/jammer of aircraft

then an individual could when all he got to his disposal was a blunt club

So you think that the rise in hospitalizations is not going to result in a rise in mortality? That is an obviously invalid expectation.

the divide percentage between significant and insignificant

is 10%, i expect insignificant

I’m sure that there will be many doctoral theses from this unique situation. 

yes, but the unique about isnt corona/spanish flu/etc/etc,

the unique is a step back to serfdom/police state/war on self economy/return to peasant life

Regrettably your time line is too short to validate that conclusion and with the very low comparative numbers the cure rate is likely to be better.

 

We can all hope that the death rate in the USA is not going to rise, that is in my opinion not going to be the case.

yes, i too think its just too early to draw a final conclusion.

i'm also eagerly awaiting new year for a balance sheet

of deaths and compare to last 10 years if deaths this year was significantly different from any other year

you should be aware that deaths trail by between 2 and 8 weeks so November is going to see a continuing rising death rate

or not, i can post several nations that show no correlation between cases and deaths.

if your hypothesis was worth its salt, you would see a correlation every_time,

but alas, your hypothesis is falsified by data

Try France or many of the other European countries. Several 100% rise in daily deaths since July/August when they had flattened out.  

 

 

yes i see several european nations got a small uptick at the end of october, a noteworthy exception to this is sweden that show no sign at all, makes one wonder what the secret behind their success is

I was referring to the US.

 

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html

 

(I'm not sure you can log in if not a subscriber)

 

Worldwide it is +22% over the past 14 days.  UK is +121%

 

As ICUs in several European countries are now full/near full capacity we can expect more increases in the next 1-2 weeks before the new lockdown measures start to have an impact.  Definitley in the UK where the situation is quite bad.

 

I would add that while death reports are fairly complete for western countries they are not at all so for India and possibly also not for some parts  of Latin America...and these account for a huge number of infections. So the worldwide figures err on the low side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

see my post directly above yours where i address US daily deaths and trend for the past month

The Swedish COVID-19 experiment of not implementing early and strong measures to safeguard the population has been hotly debated around the world, but at this point we can predict it is almost certain to result in a net failure in terms of death and suffering. As of Oct. 13, Sweden’s per capita death rate is 58.4 per 100,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University data, 12th highest in the world (not including tiny Andorra and San Marino).

the average age was >80, time was up for them regardless of covid

17% increase in daily death toll. I would hardly call that flatlined.

 

Even though case management has improved, there is no way numbers can keep shooting up without deaths also increasing.

 

 

can you link to which nation or state you refer to ? actually i can find myself but i need the name of the state/nation

Hospitalizations are increasing rapidly. You don't see that as having consequences in regards to the level of mortality? 

i still havnt come across a shred of data that the much vaunted 2nd wave is going to be ohh soo much worse,,

as is the trending narrative, the cases are up, but the death toll has roughly flatlined. i know a couple of US states that are on increase, but i see no difference in them two with one having lockdown & mask and the other neither,

fluke or unknown data play a part in this

if you happen to run into opthalmologist worth squat,

do reply to me where and who

if its at regent school outside pattaya then you must go there to get an appointment, and that appointment is around a month later, since the app for foreigners dont work

i cant recall i ever thought anyone was a loss,

but i liked sean connery on the screen,

RIP

ok i only got anecdotal evidence, but a girl i caused an accident for became unemployed cause the hdd factory closed due to governments lock down, i suggested she could take up an offer made by another company but they also got forced to shut down due to governments lock down policy.

or short version, i think this is bs, i got friends that went unemployed due to lock down also, not to mention half the small businesses around here has shut down due to governments lock down policy

This scam has been going on for years. It was legit at the beginning but foreigners were just signing up then never attending classes, so the government put a stop to it. This was just a way to extent your stay it had nothing to do with teaching.  

i and the rest of the class was attending

ThB 40,000 would have probably "sorted" things with an agent!

no, there is no way to get a visa valid for one year for 40k

if you are below 50 beside ED visa, no agent can sort below 50 issue
