Covid breaking my hopes

This is not correct. There might be some validity to the fact that when someone exhales aerosol particles might be exhaled, but that isn't agreed upon, and most doctors don't think it is. Aerosolizing procedures such as patient intubation can cause particles to be suspended in the air, and that's hospitals have cancelled elective procedures for the most part. The rest of what you said is false.

The question, which you keep skirting, was simply at this moment in time did social distancing help keep the deaths down in other countries e.g. does social distancing work in keeping deaths down when it is being implemented. The question wasn't whether you can keep social distancing forever or whether or not people will eventually die from something...
I thought that for someone to be able to make the claim that something works, that it has to work in the long run.

If you go buy a used car and you ask if it works, I assume you are not thinking that it’s only going to work for 3 months, it’s the same with these measures:

The point of it supposedly was to save lives, not postpone deaths while fucking everyone else over.

Fine, if you want to go there, fair enough.

Will there be some people who die from this eventually who didn't die from it initially due to social distancing, yes. To say that everyone who would have died from it had social distancing not taken place, will die from it eventually, is silly. Getting the cases to a low enough point where they can be contained will save some of these people as will "kicking the can down the road" till better treatment options are available.
 
asymptomatic means they have no symptoms..in that case they wouldn't even have been counted in those numbers because they wouldn't have even gone to the hospital or gotten tested (at least at this point).

That was in response to his doom and gloom “permanent damage to lungs” and “most cases take 2-3 weeks to get over.

Here’s the asymptomatic based on REAL data, not model predictions or speculations. Four fifths of cases. Four fucking fifths.

Covid-19: four fifths of cases are asymptomatic, China figures indicate


This is all deflecting off the original point. Yes, deaths occur. Yes, that is unfortunate. But does this (not so) deadly disease justify closing the economy and financial hardship for millions of people. Millions of people vs less than 200,000 deaths worldwide. Did the projected risk justify this level of action. No. Absolutely NOT. History will NOT remember this disease but it will remember the global economic collapse of 2020 because we OVERREACTED to this disease.
 
Pretty fucking convenient that the only way to get Trump out is to crash the markets! This is partisan politics at its worst! Funded by pinko commie scum.

Disclaimer! I'm not for or against Trump. I think all politicians are fucking scum these days. I lump him in with all the other egotistical garbage in that sphere! He has done some great things and shit I don't agree with.
 
Read an article talking about poverty stricken areas of the world where expected child deaths will be adding up into the hundreds of thousands due to the economics of closing down most of the world. It’s heartbreaking to think that a few people made this decision and it will cause more harm than good.

Who are these "few" people that made the decision to close down most of the 1st world countries on the globe? Last time I checked they were each able to do what they thought best for their own country, right?

Yes, that’s exactly who I am speaking of. In a world of 7 billion people there were a “few”. I’ve been against the shutdowns since the beginning, and these “few” making the calls to shut down everything are causing more harm than good.
 
Sweden didn't mandate social distancing...

but whatever I or anybody else say or show isn't going to convince you otherwise and that is certainly your choice.

why you wrote bullshit about Sweden?? Were you take your fake graphic?

Sweden, in Europe, is the country that is doing best of all, without having closed even schools. is all open, also gyms !!

and despite this, they have few new daily infections, they are also learning to treat patients, as you can see from the graphs, people die less and less. Sweden should be an example for everyone!

and it is a proof that there isn’t any kind of pandemic!
And covid19 is only collective psychosis, created for other purposes.

Neither of the charts are fake. And both are used to mislead.

@Professor Karman: Denmark, Poland, South Korea, Norway, and Finland are all doing much better in terms of the linear death scale than Sweden. But that is a misleading use of data to make a specific point. Why not compare Sweden to Spain, France, or Italy with strict lockdowns?

@Den84: Why would you post the Worldometer Sweden daily death chart to refute the previously posted linear scale chart? You could have just as easily posted the linear scale chart from Worldometer which was on the same page. Of course the curve looks very similar and doesn't refute anything:

I didn't create that chart, I pulled it from a third party. If you have the scaled data (they should have scaled the graph I put up too, e.g. per million people) for Spain, France and Italy do post it. How early stay at home measures were put into place would matter as well. While I could have used a more comprehensive plot, I think that at the end of day saying that there is no proof that "social distancing" helps limit the transmission of contagions, and hence deaths, is kind of silly. Whether one thinks that it is worth doing and in the process messing up the economy, at least temporarily, is a different story.

In terms of why those specific countries were used, I would be guessing, but a few of those countries are neighboring and I think they are all of similar size hence you wouldn't have to scale them (e.g. deaths per million people or something) so probably the person making the graph was too lazy..lol. If you have the scaled data for Spain, France and Italy do post it.
They would not have included South Korea if that were the case. South Korea has 5x the population of Sweden. Similarly, Spain, Italy and France have 5-7x the population of Sweden.

To me, I think the motivations are clear.

Sweden vs. Denmark, Poland, South Korea, Norway, Finland chart

It was created to "prove" that Sweden (no confinement) is doing FAR WORSE than countries with some level of confinement (Denmark, Poland, South Korea, Norway, Finland).

Sweden vs. Spain, France, Italy chart

This chart could be created to "prove" that Sweden (no confinement) is doing MUCH BETTER than countries with strict confinement (Spain, France, Italy).

For what's it worth, I generally agree with you. I just don't agree with the biased, disingenous use of the data to make the argument. And both of the charts above are more interested in "proving" a perspective rather than arriving at the truth.

That wasn't my intention (e.g.I was trying to prove a point but I didn't "cherry pick" on purpose) but yes, even if you scale the graphs you showed per million people (I just visually did it based upon total populations), it looks like Sweden is doing better than Italy, France and Spain. Interesting. Since you do seem to agree that "social distancing" SHOULD work towards decreasing deaths, do you have a theory as to why that isn't the case with Sweden compared to Italy, Spain and France? General health of the population perhaps? Population density?
