Death Rate


This will be the only thing that will matter... in the end... anything else will be too complicated...

Richard Seymour wrote an article on response to the NYTs article. I can't read it because it is behind a paywall, but here is his tweet.

And, of course, Thomas Friedman supports the 'Swedish model'. The Left needs to pay close attention to the growing chorus of support for this disaster.

Ontario is about the same size as Sweden -- 14 million people to Sweden's 10.75. The economies are similar; demographics in terms of population aging are similar. Ontario is vastly more ethnically diverse, and has much more diverse population migration patterns and international points of contact. It may be that in a year's time Sweden will be better off, but currently Ontario, with its lockdown, has seen only 1/3 the number of deaths that Sweden has, and is predicted to be COVID19-free 2 months before Sweden.
