Texas is in play

Oh,and BTW-the latest Sweden numbers might not be as bad as you hope they are. And no. I don't feel like spoon-feeding it to you. Spend 30 seconds and do your research on it.

Your "statistics" looked at the death rate in selected European countries over the last two weeks. Here's some other statistics:

Sweden Population 10 Million Cases 118,000 Deaths 6,000
Norway Population 5.4 Million Cases 19.000 Deaths 280
Finland Population 5.5 Million Cases 15,000 Deaths 350
Denmark Population 5.8 Million Cases 43,000 Deaths 715

Denmark's numbers are considerably higher but still significantly less that Sweden. Your expert cherry picked some numbers that makes his conclusion look better.

And the claim that Sweden has no mandates is wrong as well. Their restrictions weren't as significant as in other countries, but they are still more that what people in the U.S. are screaming about. Social distancing of one meter has been required between groups in bars and restaurants since July. Public gatherings are limited to 50 people, and sporting events have been cancelled. And cases are going up now in Sweden just like they are in the rest of Europe because of the colder weather, more time spent indoors and people being more lax about following safety measures.

And while Sweden was sacrificing 6,000 of its citizens to keep the economy going, it still contracted worse in the second quarter than did its Nordic neighbors.

Sweden - 8.6% decline in GDP in second quarter; Denmark - 7.4%' Finland - 3.2%; Norway (March to May, which is how they keep statistics) - 7.1%

I am curious. When you are studying the epidemiological scientific papers and so forth behind how to handle Covid do you ever run across something in the ones that you agree with that raises a question? Like, I think he is mostly right, but I am curious how he accounted for this?

Or is it only the papers and scientists that you disagree with that raise a question?

Or more significantly, is it your game to play Gotcha with an ignorant, Trump voting , Minnesota farmer and you really have no concerns about how Covid is really spread.

Frankly, I don't see much concern from the Covid people here about the recent super-spreading events in Philly-So I think you guys are all full of crap.
