Oh dear, I'm sure the Swedes are shaking in their boots, or not.
No, just realizing they may not have had the best approach.

Since "obesity" is one of the "high risk" factors, your starting point would appear to be to "quarantine" approximately 39.8% of adults aged 20 and over (that includes the 7.6% who are "severely obese"). That would mean that, since those "quarantine camps" do not include any production facilities, the US unemployment rate would be AT LEAST 39.8%. That would mean that the American work force wouldn't be sufficient to maintain the US economy (and that includes feeding and caring for those in the "quarantine camps") UNLESS the remaining 60.2% of all Americans were REQUIRED to work where, when, and how they were directed to by "The Gummint".
Some how that doesn't appear to be a very attractive type of society to me, although, I suspect that the owners of the means of production wouldn't be all that upset (or even affected by) it. Mind you, it might also require a "slight" re-interpretation of the 13[sup]th[/sup] Amendment in order to implement your proposal WITHOUT causing mass starvation and/or economic disaster.
87,712 is WAY short of how many Americans would be dead had we let it spread and infect Americans faster. it's more like 140,000 as of today.
you okay with 140,000 dead Americans as of today?
Warm and fuzzy emotional things are not really my cup of tea, thanks. I like the unpleasant and brutal truth supported by cold rational analysis. :mrgreen:

What do you think? What has shelter in place and a closed down society really provided from the public health perspective?
Only history gets to judge that. I'm betting history will show they used the right approach.
Yes I know, Wikipedia likes to write history according to a certain agenda.
Nah, sometimes you don’t have to wait for history. They realize they made a mistake and are looking at course correction.

Neither can I. We don't have to.
But knowing how bureaucracies protect their turf, I've been forewarned.
Third time you've refused to answer. How many Americans are you willing to sentence to die in order to feel safe to crawl out from under your bed?
Seems the swedes are finding novel ways to convince people not to congregate

Is that real? It doesn't seem like the best course of action. Spreading feces all over public areas may have some unwelcomed side effects...I mean besides having chicken **** all over the place.

well, since you're willing to let 80some thousand Americans die (which would actually be 140,000-150,000 as of today, i'm going with as few as possible with a rapid response and Stay at Home orders coordinated from the Federal/Administrative branch (who gets the intelligence reports) to the states.
you know, actually being prepared, acting quickly and saving 1000s of lives. that okay with you?
and here's what we got instead...

"As few as possible" is not an answer. What's the number you feel comfortable with dying so that you can go out and get your hair cut?
It is idiotic to call Trump supporters a "cult". A 3% death rate for people who contract the virus is small by any standard. And wrecking the economy will cost more lives in the long run..
sure it is. for example, i don't want your parents to die because of the US Government/President being slow on the uptake.

Quite the opposite. It has nothing to do with that, so I've still missed your point.

Problem with Death Cult of Dirtbag is they seem to have no qualms about doing things that will cause the deaths of theirs and somebody else's parents and grandparents.
LOL. Like you give a flying flick about my parents.

Apparently, neither do you for yours or anyone else's.
decent humans don't want others to lose loved ones.
is that foreign to you or something?
now, i will say that there are some people so evil (Hitler, Dahmer, Timothy McVeigh, Pol Pot, etc) that i have a hard time feeling bad when they die.
My parent are dead. I didn't see any mass cards from you when they died.
