@macmcleod1188 Based on your previous predictions, I have no reason to expect these latest guess-timates to come to fruition. But as always, time will tell.

@macmcleod1188 Meanwhile, Sweden just keeps on keepin' on, as the daily rate of new deaths continues to tank. Just look at the daily new deaths chart. Speaks for itself. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/

@macmcleod1188 2,000? Where does this come from? I have checked with people who live there, and they say Swedes did not increase their social distancing as you have been insisting for weeks now. Serology tests are not even near 100% accurate, as they require a minimum level of anti-bodies in order to be detected, so many more may have been infected than some studies show. And if not, this would indicate a lower r0, as I have already pointed out. And you keep insisting their economy took the same hit as those who did more stringent lock downs, but have not provided a single source for your on-going claim. Moreover, you claim children have had their hands and feet amputated, as a result of covid19. Add all this to your failed predictions, which are off by many thousands, and many months, not just a couple of weeks, and it becomes clear I cannot believe a single word you say.

@macmcleod1188 ??? "You can't have social distancing AND a low case rate." That makes absolutely no sense. The whole purpose of social distancing is to limit cases. Now I know you're just trolling.

@macmcleod1188 4 months ago ... "Sweden is now 17 deaths per million behind Italy and will pass it soon." Dec. 17th ... Italy 1,113 / million ... Sweden 779 / million Wrong again!
1
@macmcleod1188 6 months ago... "Sweden will have roughly 98,000 cases in 46 days and roughly 9,800 dead in 90 days." ... so by late September. Dec. 17th ... 7893 deaths ... way off!

@macmcleod1188 You are ignoring the terrible way people are being treated in the Countries you choose to praise. I get the impression you don't care much for human rights and freedoms?
1
@macmcleod1188 So Tegnell (and I) got lucky? There you go again. You just cannot bring yourself to admit Tegnell knows his shit, and that I know how to recognize patterns, and contextualize and interpret data. This all started with you saying I didn't. You have been wrong at every turn, where my predictions were nearly spot on. Admit it. You were played by the Media and those who desire to push this pandemic narrative. Your sources were incorrect and misleading, and continue to be.

@macmcleod1188 "Ten to Twelve weeks til herd immunity by my calculations." "80,000 deaths" ... "For them to achieve herd immunity, they're going to suffer that many deaths." 7 months ago you said Sweden would achieve herd immunity in less than 3 months. You also said there would have to be 80,000 deaths by that point! Not even close!
1
@macmcleod1188 6 months ago you said... "Sweden will have roughly 98,000 cases in 46 days and roughly 9,800 dead in 90 days." ... so 9,800 dead by fall... way off!

Never happened... Hope you're not too disappointed.

@georgebenson6279 Sweden's daily increase is down to less than +2% ... ~ 33 deaths daily, on average, this past week. 5000 - 3000 = 2000 more deaths. At 33 per day and dropping, that is indeed months, not weeks.
1
@georgebenson6279 Explain... How can Sweden go from 3000 dead, to hundreds of thousands dead, at a daily increase of less than +2% ??? Show us the math, or stfu. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:COVID-19_pandemic_data/Sweden_medical_cases_chart

@georgebenson6279 People with a brain? It is obvious all you have is insults, and no math or predictive skills. The numbers did not skyrocket as you (the one with a brain, allegedly) predicted. Better "luck" next time.
1
@georgebenson6279 wrong again.
1
@georgebenson6279 they say ignorance is bliss, so laugh it up.
1
@georgebenson6279 People like you, who make predictions based solely on a personal whim, are not helping matters. You are only adding to the confusion and misinformation being spread around, which in turn leads to more alarmism. You need to study the stats, and arrive at fact based estimates, rather than pulling numbers out of your ass. People are dying, and you only care about sharing your opinion. and "wild guess-timates". Shame on you.
1
@georgebenson6279 Exactly, it's your guess, and that's all. You need to learn how to use deductive reasoning, based on data analysis... instead of inciting hatred and ill will. Every Sweden Basher like you has been wrong... very wrong. And if my being educated and disciplined makes me an asshole, in your view, so be it. I can live with that, especially considering the source.
1
@georgebenson6279 No, you're being obtuse, so it's time to stop your shameful Sweden shaming.
1
@georgebenson6279 sweden's daily increase in deaths is now down to about 0.9%, and falling. They are still under 5000 dead. 99.95% of Swedes are still alive. 99.8% of their seniors are still alive.

@LindaStevensBZ I heard home depot is open for business. Let me know if you need help putting together a material list.
1
Well, you were right about protests... but wrong about the agenda.
1
It is not the lack of lock downs resulting in all the deaths, but rather, the lack of care given to the most vulnerable... most of whom were in long term care facilities. If folks want to blame someone, they need to look into this matter, and find out who is truly responsible. This has happened worldwide, lock downs or not. This is the real issue requiring our attention.

Just ate there.. The "I Can't Believe It's Not Bat" was excellent. I paired it with a bottle of red.

Then stop looking in the mirror.

@macmcleod1188 0.6 - 1.6% of Sweden's population is ~61,800 - 164,800. At 4,350 dead, and a daily increase of less than +1.5%, and dropping, that will take many months.
