You do realize that you conflate variables like masking and vaccination? The Superbowl had nothing to do with vaccination....though enforcement was reportedly lax to be there you had to be vaxxed or tested....the issue was the masks. Neither is the issue with Sweden the masks....the issue there is the vaccination.73% vaccination rate in Sweden. Not great, but better than USA, with 65%. And far better than places like Mississippi, with a 50% vaccination rate.
Not surprisingly, they also have fewer deaths per capita. 1.62 deaths per thousand. USA is at 2.76. Mississippi is at 3.88
Sweden’s “trust the people” policy is paired with people trying to do the right thing. It isn’t some anti-vax, anti-mask utopia. They actually got their shots.
I’d do the same for masking and dinner parties, but I don’t know how to gather accurate data on those. Self reported numbers cannot be compared between cultures.
Hahaha! Still using masks and vaccines in the same breath. Let me remind you that Wilt Chamberlain and my dad combined to score 100 points in a game on 3/2/1962.It’s unfortunate. Xi and Putin argue that many people are incapable of doing the right thing unless forced to do so, and Team Virus is determined to prove them correct.
We know Americans are dying of covid. We know masks work. We know vaccines work. But, somehow, many adults in this country won’t do either.
Even Canada managed better than we did. About a third as many deaths per capita as US. I guess they must be an autocracy like Japan or Taiwan.
Two years and counting. The vax too will have to deal with consequences. My pal sister just died and that is no joke and she was triple vaxxed. I think all ((jab or no jab)) of us are dealing with the consequences of the actions of a few cheaters who got caught and were up to no good. Now that the hold up is up, they will go back to doing what they do best; divide and conquer and divide and war and destroy and evil. We have much more news that will be dripping out so sit back, buckle your seat belt and get ready for a hard landing. Compassion and Grace ((no fun intended)) will be of most importance for anyone to stay on this planet after the real TRUTH comes. Love is a magnet and only love will rule this place. Vengeance is not the way to go but unfortunately, many will fall for that fear.People who are at risk and not vaccinated will deal with the consequences.
"...but still rare"
Coocoo...
Continue with your bathroom fetish. What was it again? Something about dropping trouser or using your fly.
You're a sick guy....
Is it significant to you that the two leaders that share your "people are incapable of doing the right thing unless forced to do so" are Xi and Putin? It is to me.It’s unfortunate. Xi and Putin argue that many people are incapable of doing the right thing unless forced to do so, and Team Virus is determined to prove them correct.
Pfft. That ship sailed a long time ago. The politicians never had faith in their own policies and were just doing it as window dressing. Blanket policies were never feasible, except in the PretendLand that some people are living in. Other than maybe the initial months of the pandemic, it was never about "community spread" or "doing the right thing", it was always about political control through fear (aka using cult type techniques). I'll say it again, only cowards would mask children, regardless of their rationalizations for doing so.Guess they weren't able to enforce the mask mandate at the superbowl despite handing out the free KN95 masks. Horrible optics of elite politicians (including the mayor), actors, and sports figures without masks while kids have to go to school masked the next day.
Go deeper bro. You're getting warmer and I like that. You love kids and the kids appreciate that, especially the ones born in foster care or worse. We will need to teach the kids that mankind can love and treat others with respect and not as pawns or worse, human you know what. Poor kids were taught to fear so many things in grade school the last three years or so. Love not fear. No compassion for others, no grace for you. We will find out that some people were born into some evil stuff that were forced to do things that would make your hair on your back go up. I told you and a few others on PM what this will come down to. The kids!!! Love you man and keep standing for the kids, for the kids sakes!!!Only cowards would mask children!
It’s not just the vaccine. The US per capita death rate in 2020 was higher than Canada’s, and that has nothing to do with vaccine usage.Hahaha! Still using masks and vaccines in the same breath. Let me remind you that Wilt Chamberlain and my dad combined to score 100 points in a game on 3/2/1962.
oh you. We can pick time periods and regions all day.It’s not just the vaccine. The US per capita death rate in 2020 was higher than Canada’s, and that has nothing to do with vaccine usage.
Put another way, your dad carried the team to victory even when Wilt was out with a knee injury. Maybe he is better at hoops than you thought.
You just don't give up. The US was/is always destined to have higher mortality rates than peer countries. Doesn't really matter what you do, unless you cut out pepsi, french fries, donuts, joo joo beans, etc.It’s not just the vaccine. The US per capita death rate in 2020 was higher than Canada’s, and that has nothing to do with vaccine usage.

“Reports”? Do tell.p.s. Russia has been one of the worst in both masking and vaccine uptick. My son follows "Bald and Bankrupt" religiously on youtube. Not a Russian mask to be seen.
Supposedly attendees at the superbowl were vaxxed or tested. Reports of checks though were spotty at best.
oh you. We can pick time periods and regions all day.
How about Canada which dad 4 was tossing up?Flawed comparison, just a political axe grinder. Testing density CA vs USA average? And take a peak at US average population density vs CA.
Vaccines ought to sue @dad4 for slander for comparing them to masks.oh you. We can pick time periods and regions all day.

We can make these comparisons and distinguish them all day....it's literally never ending.
Which is why it is important to make valid comparisons, otherwise it either useless or can be used to drive misinformation. Again, since we see the per 100K so frequently, the questions becomes who are the 100K that are being compared, and is it a meaningful comparison. on this thread I seem to remember a link to an economist who chased their tail for 3000 words or so wrapping their head around the idea that normalization can be used to reveal or it can be used to obscure.
I could compare CA to low density states in the north of the US. Sound fair?Flawed comparison, just a political axe grinder. Testing density CA vs USA average? And take a peak at US average population density vs CA.
