Covid vs. 1918 Influenza Pandemics.

Ruining the economy, making people lose businesses is worse. You people are just self centered.

I disagree.

Selfish because we don’t want hospitals and heath care workers overwhelmed?

Do you live in New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut or Michigan ?

Those states needed to shut down so hospitals would not be overwhelmed.

If you do not live in one of those states you had plenty of warning to save up and prepare for whatever might come to your state.

Florida was open Hair salons , nail salons , gyms etc .( maybe restaurants at reduced capacity until mid May ) IIRC .
 
If they admit they "got it wrong" why is their death rate per million lower than mask wearing, economy shut down countries? They would LOVE to be that "wrong"?

“If we were to encounter the same illness with the same knowledge that we have today, I think our response would land somewhere in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done,” Anders Tegnell said in an interview with Swedish Radio.

Tegnell is the brains behind Sweden’s controversial approach to fighting the virus, and the government of Stefan Lofven has deferred to the epidemiologist in its official response to the pandemic.
