Schools are still open in Sweden and the number of children died with or because Covid-19 is... 

"Infants" 0

0-10 year olds: O

10-20 year olds: 4 

20-30: 4

Our outbreak is still merely concentrated around Stockholm and some eastern and middle regions of Sweden also have a notable number if cases.

If open schools would have this severe impact, shouldn't the rest of Sweden then also have an explosion of new cases.

Sweden is going to be a very interesting case study on how to handle this. If their numbers don't explode over the coming weeks then maybe other countries need to use their approach as a guideline.

Today one agency announced that they will look into the numbers and secure the data. They did do a quick dive into it, saying it looked about right but now they will go through every case again.

Hopefully a few other countries also are up to the task. 

I tried to find the numbers for the US but it's a jungle. I couldn't find any data that included when the person actually died. There are alot of delayed reporting so it's hard to predict trends.

Yeah, I feel like there are going to be two different prediction models and response protocols in the end.

1) How does the virus spread in densely populated areas (NYC, Jersey, Italy) and what response is appropriate.

2) How does the virus spread in less dense populations (Sweden, much of the US) and what response is appropriate.

well recently their numbers have been going up. But its still to early to see the true impact of their approach.

Sweden doesn't know what the word "exponential" means. They're right up there with China in misinformation.

Critics question Swedish approach as coronavirus death toll reaches 1,000

Quote

SWEDEN has recorded its highest number of coronavirus deaths in one day after refusing to lockdown like the rest of Europe.

The Scandinavian country's death toll hit 1,203 with a record 170 fatalities reported in the last 24 hours.

We'll never truly know, but if I was hazarding a guess it's probably in the 1% range. That's still 10x deadlier than the common flu.

That's gonna be the biggest problem with this as estimates are all we're going to have to go on.

I think the coming antibody tests will provide a much clearer picture and probably enough of a picture to produce a decent SWAG at least. Right now we don't even have that.

      Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?

      2026 Team Needs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board.  ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig.  CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.
