So, this WHO expert agrees draconian measures are not the first choice. South Korea did it right, and the U.K. was on the right track?
In the U.S., 45,000 die from the flu, annually. Covid19 death rate, in the U.S., is less than 1.5%. But using 1.5%, the U.S. would have to see 3,000,000 confirmed cases to see 45,000 deaths. Currently the U.S. has about 54,500 confirmed cases. Covid19 cases would have to increase/multiply by 55X in order to produce the same number of annual deaths caused by the flu.
Italy's overall rate of spread works out to about 1.1x (Initially higher at epicenters, then dropping) At this rate, the U.S. could expect to see 3,000,000 confirmed cases by as early as the first week of May. But that's with a sustained spread rate, and a 1.5% death rate... I guess we'll know, soon enough.

Shroom Tea you gave me sources to opinion pieces that do nothing more than promote the official narrative. I asked for evidence. Apparently you do not know the difference.
Moreover, I have been trying to get people to stop simply bashing Sweden, and look at the real issue... the failure to care for, and protect the sick elderly, around the globe... NYC, Quebec, Finland, and so on, and so on. It's the same all over, lock downs or no lock downs. That's the real story, but apparently you are stuck in a rut, trying to shame Sweden for not submitting to political will. Either, you cannot grasp this reality, or you choose not to. Either way, it's getting old, especially seeing as all of you bashers and shamers have failed, at every attempt, to forecast Sweden's outcome, which is no better and no worse, on average, than any other country. In other words, their results are pretty much right down the middle, proving lock downs were not the deciding factor.
Moreover, when comparing test numbers, case numbers, and fatality numbers, to say Italy, and adjusting for population, Sweden has a higher case rate, and yet they have a lower death rate, proving the two are non-proportional.
Do you, or can you comprehend such things??? I don't think so.

So, Italy's system was, admittedly, stressed... but not completely overwhelmed, as some would have us believe.
As of a.m. Mon. Mar. 23rd, 0.1% of Italy's population had tested positive, and 0.01% had succomb to the virus (about 90% of whom were elderly, and had at least one serious pre-existing condition). Death Rate varied from 12.7% in the epicenter, to less than 0.5% in the south of Italy... about 4% to 5%, avg. Currently, the U.S. death rate is at about 1.3%, and Canada's is at 0.9% (of confirmed cases).
Lombardy represented 57% of all covid19 deaths in Italy (3456 out of ~6100). Emi...Rom 13%, Piedmont 4.5%, Marche 3%, and so on. Spread Rate, Death Rate, and overall case rates, all decreased significantly as the virus spread out across the country. Italy saw about a 1.1X (AVERAGE) spread rate, overall. (I.e; 1 × 1.1 = 1.1; 1.1 x 1.1 = 1.21; 1.21 x 1.1 = 1.331, etc.) In reality, the spread rate was closer to 1.25 or even 1.3, initially, and then slowed. The same numbers are currently playing out in New York City, as of Mar. 26th.
For context, as of Mar. 23rd, 99.9% of Italians were not confirmed cases, and 99.99% had not died.

@Shsjier Of course Gaza's population has decreased. But Israel's population decreased, too, on the morning of Oct. 7th. So, according to this reasoning, if Israel is guilty of Genocide, then so is Palestine. And not only based on sudden decreases in population, as the direct result of the actions of each other, toward each other, but even according to the U'N.'s very vague definition of Genocide.
Are you willing to agree/admit Hamas/Gazans committed Genocide, and are determined to do so, again.?
