Norway has a population roughly half what Sweeden's is....so naturally there should be more in Sweden. 10.1 million versus 5.4 million as per google. I think that's a good gauge though because they're geographically close. Canada/Austrailia are further away from the epicentre so the surges...

I'm not buying into the conspiracies, so far I've heard this was a bio-weapon of the Chinese meant to crash world stock markets so they could buy up on the cheap....of course they can't buy unless shareholders actually sell....and the big holders employ deriviative strategy's through instruments...

Excellent point...operative word being "known", the real case count has to be many multiples of that....

I don't trust the data out of China at all....I really don't care about the case rate, because testing is woefully inadequate everywhere, there aren't enough test kits. The only figure I'm really viewing as having a decent level of reliability is death figures...and again with China, I'm not...

Thank you so much for sharing this...with all the sensational reporting about what's going on in NYC, and coronavirus ravaging nursing homes here in Canada, I wasn't even aware that Sweden was adopting a "business as usual" approach....which in my non-expert opinion is the proper course....so if...

I haven't looked into statistics or data on NYC during so called 'normal times'......how much excess capacity there is, if any...if they're overwhelmed during harsh flu outbreaks....things like that. I do know that in Ontario Canada where I live the health care system has almost no excess...

I'm saying that, based on the numbers of deaths out of Italy and China that it doesn't appear to be any worse than the flu at this point....its evolving obviously, and we're learning more and more each day. I don't have a high degree of confidence in the Chinese data, but I'm reasonably...

Away from whom? Is there anyone living in any reasonably populated area in the world who can say "its far away from us"??? There is a northern community in Canada's Northwest Territory that is not accessible except by air, it has reported zero cases and 0 deaths from Covid-19. A 35ish year...

For what its worth I am complying with all the social distancing and other directives being put out by our governments here in Canada....the thing is the rules are changing rapidly. Yesterday I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up some medication, obviously a necessary trip....and to minimize...

Before I hit the sack I probably should explain why I'm such a skeptic. When news first started being reported out of China I followed the news....because I know enough about epidemics and pandemics to know that they spread and there's not much that can stop them once they take hold in our...

I've said there are many similarities with common flu and covid-19, and differnces of course....both have similar symptoms, both in the most severe cases attack the lungs which can lead to pnemonia and the need for a ventilator....both are particularily lethal with older and immune compromised...

Great point...nobody's hands are completely clean here, that's why we need a Saviour.

While I said I wasn't a Trump fan, I'm also not a Trump hater either....I don't love or hate everything about him, there are some things I don't like...and some that I do. Just wanted to post some number from the statscanada and the US CDC. In Canada we had 276,689 deaths recorded in 2017...

I'm not a Trump fan, but with that being said he's going to be attacked no matter what. When he unilatteily closed the border with China (figuratively speaking of course) and then Europe he was criticized for over reacting....now they're saying he didn't do enough. The United States was...

We'll look back and see which study was more accuarate when all is said and done. Too much has been said by academics about what a joke peer review has become because of the "perish or publish" disease that runs rampant in academia. For those who, like EH, have perhaps never heard of the...

A quick note on the Oxford study....Britains two most famous universites are Cambridge and Oxford. Cambridge is generally considered the more conservative of the two, hosting people like Jordan Peterson for symposiums.....Oxford by contrast is more classicly liberal...not that it matters but I...

You're suffering from what is called confirmation bias.....you have formed the opinion that the coronavirus is an extreme and dire health emergency, thus any news that doesn't agree with your opinion must be wrong. Given that the overwhelming majority of MSM coverage confirms your opinion, you...

Here in Canada a huge component of the death totals is coming from Nursing Homes....aged people with underlying health issues. How many of them would have died regardless of the coronavirus is an open question of course, but obviously they're all pretty much at the end of their lives. Those...

Stress is a slient killer, it weakens our immune system making us more prone to disease. Right now the way most media outlets are reporting on coronavirus, its designed to increase fear, anxiety and stress....and drive ratings. Hyperbolic messaging with scary sounding words and eerie music in...

This might help those who are feeling high levels of anxiety and stress over Coronavirus, I've fact checked what I can in this video and everything that I've come accross is accurate....its from the United Kingdom where the death toll was initially forecast to be around a couple hundred...
