    Doom: US Are World Beating!

    US sets world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours | World news | The Guardian

    The US has set a world record for coronavirus cases in 24 hours, according to one count with just over 100,000 new infections recorded.

    The daily caseload of 100,233 – as counted by Reuters – surpassed 97,894 cases reported by India on a single day in September.

          Trump may be right.

          The number of cases isn't the important statistic in terms of health impact, it's number of hospitalisations and deaths. So if the virus has mutated to a less serious strain then the more cases the better as it gets you to 'herd immunity' faster so it's harder to spread to the vulnerable.

          It ain't going away and the sooner it reaches status of just another coronavirus we live with year in year out the better. Suppressing transmission hoping it goes away won't work unless doing that until a vaccine is available for the masses. NZ are in that boat hoping nothing sinks it.

          Any word how Sweden and other non-bedwetting countries are fairing in comparison to the 'keep em scared, everyone's going to die' European countries?
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

              Google is your friend but you knew that didn't you:

              Sweden hits highest daily COVID-19 spread as chief epidemiologist says herd immunity not '''ethically justifiable''' - ABC News

              Sweden's death rate per capita is several times higher than its Nordic neighbours, but lower than some larger European countries, such as Spain and Britain.
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Sweden have lower deaths per capita than the UK and they still have an economy.
