A .7% death rate, with 70% of the population infected (assuming 330 million as the US population), means over 1.6 million deaths. That's my point. Seems kinda bad, no?

You can't shut it down based on those percentages. We just need to cycle through it and deal with it.

The world is a dangerous place.

Welcome to 2021: We tried the non-confrontational approach, but the school denied my son's class change request. Now, I had to write a note explaining that we would not be subjecting him to the absurdity of wearing a mask with a hole in it so he can play the saxophone.

Anyone who thinks that only "a small percentage of the population" has had CV19 is living in fantasy-land. Do they disbelieve the seroprevalence reports? Half of our friends and at least some members of just about every family I take care of have tested positive by now.

I really don't know how people that come up with absurd things like this feel at night. Are they proud they came up with something? Do they realize how stupid it is? The example above, hand shaking after football, etc. It's just nuts people actually come up with these things and run with it.

He should change and be a percussionist.

It's not absurdity. I stand by your son's school - the science is sound. Welcome to my wheelhouse.

Following multiple studies and a large-scale study performed in multiple phases, it has been determined that participating in performing arts such as band, choir, and orchestra are safe so long as specific guidelines are followed.
  • Musicians must be at least six feet apart, with the exception being that there be nine feet of space in front of trombone players
  • Musicians can rehearse in a facility for no more than an hour, with at least an hour afterward to allow aerosol dispersal
  • Masks with holes for mouthpieces are acceptable for rehearsals, but a regular mask should be used for the remainder of the school day.
This is the information the colleges, universities, and most school systems are operating under.

Please reconsider depriving your child of this opportunity because you don't understand the science. Most students pulled from a performing ensemble never return.

Dumb. None of those masks in your videos can stop a virus sphere.

And you do know all mouth blown instruments have spit valves and spit frequently has to be blown out of the valves. Is the instrument wearing a mask too?

Yeah, I guess I just don't understand. It's complicated for a physician with a pretty damned good understanding of viral transmission. Give me a freaking break.

I feel like I can’t even be surprised by stupidity any more. Between this mask silliness and our once proud football program I’m convinced I’ve been cursed from a former life to live in a bubble of ignorance and incompetence...and there is no escape.

So wait, I was expecting the article to go into detail about how Sweden has possibly failed in their approach. But that wasn't what it proved at all. It just spoke about how bad Britain fumbled the ball.

I'm confused. Did the writer prove the Swedish model failed?

It's strange - headlines and articles rarely match these days. And that's assuming the headline can even be interpreted.

You hit the "NYC/Sweden has herd immunity" ball out of the park.

NYC certainly does appear to have reached the point where a good portion of their population is protected.

Sweden is seeing a similar trend (certainly not worse) to just about every developed/Western nation during respiratory season.
