I just wish each country was apples to apples, so we could really compare what's going on.  You have a few countries flat out lying about their cases and deaths they are reporting, but just importantly you have countries who are barely testing.  Its like the countries who are testing the most and reporting accurately are being viewed as the bad guys in all of this, when it should be the other way around.

Agree. Here the talk has been about the number of ICU patients, hospital parients and the number of deaths. And not about the confirmed number of cases.

Sweden has a big problem with the testing. In the beginning there was not enough material because it was used when the initial tracing was done on people visiting Italy and Austria. 

Seems like they actually succeeded to contain that spread. The strains that has affected most people has its origin from Britain and France. (Some from the US.)

Then there was a shortage of testing material when the whole world tried to buy whatever was on the market.

Now there is a laboratory capacity of 100k per week but the regions (states) who are responsible for the health care only do about 28-32k tests. Utterly failure.

 

People mentioned age of the dead. Sweden currently 4350 reported deaths.

0-9 1 infant

10-19 0 people.

 20-29 0,2% (8)

30-39 0,3% (12)

40-49 1% (42)

50-59 3% (132)

60-69 7% (303)

70-79 22% (955)

80-89 41% (1789)

90+ 25% (1108)

Hope you're not insinuating that postal employees are stealing your packages.  It is next to impossible for postal employees to get away with stealing packages. 

Literally just watched USPS employee zoom by my house without stopping and marking my package delivery as complete.  So yea...

My USPS guy today had a broken horn on his truck. It was blaring like a stolen car as he drove around the neighborhood. Good times.

My package was medical supplies and USPS driver was running 3 hours behind.  So my stuff is likely in the garbage or stolen.  On the phone now to report the delivery person.

Sign up for informed delivery, it emails you pictures of your mail.

It had 1 Oz of CBD flower in there that looks and smells like weed.  I ordered 3 packages that got shipped thru USPS and all 3 went missing.

Use UPS for anything important if you can.  We dont play that poo.  Especially critical care packages.  If the building shuts down for bad weather such as ice storm or something we still make sure we deliver all next day air and critical packages.

Definitely report it,  sounds like it might be your carrier.  If someone is taking your stuff they will figure out who.

About 95% of the deaths are 60+.  Again, it illustrates that demographic should use the utmost caution.  Granted everyone should, but especially these people.

They are investigating.  I will likely just get my refund.

More people under 40 probably got killed by falling trees in that survey
