Yes.

which in my opinion is a tacit acknowledgement that it will not
work.

Nope, that a lockdown works much better with far fewer corpses.

Are you trying to say that the probability once you're infected with
Covid is better as time goes on? Does the virus weaken over time?

Or are you confusing a death rate with an absolute number of deaths?

If you assume 1% will die from an infection then 1% will become
corpses.

But perhaps rather more than 1%, and an excess of people with other
serious illnesses, if the hospitals are overwhelmed.

Agreed and that is the point. The lock down can be relaxed as long as
the demand doesn't overwhelm hospitals.

Its not just overwhelmed hospitals, plenty die of this
virus even when admitted to a not overwhelmed hospital.

Swedish hospitals have not been overwhelmed and they
have had twice as many killed by this virus because they
were stupid enough to not have a lockdown.

It will be interesting to see the final figures.

Its unlikely to be different with the final figures.

Please explain, do you mean the same number of deaths overall, or just the
deaths up to now?

That the death rate is twice or more than in adjacent
scandinavian countrys will still be true with the final figures.

Perhaps Sweden get their deaths over and done with, whereas we will have
a trickle of deaths for a much longer time.

Thats not what happens with care homes etc
which are the main place you get the most deaths.

Quite, what has got to do with the final death total?

That was a comment about your trickle line.

Once again you are confusing a death rate, where the death rate in
Sweden is higher, but where the overall number of deaths will be
nominally the same.

No they are nor and I'm not confusing anything.

If you still think all that matters is the number of deaths to date,

Having fun thrashing that straw man ?

Finally acceptance of a lost argument.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

and not the final number,

then perhaps you are more senile than I thought.

Pathetic.

Clearly you don't have a clue. I thought you were better than this.

Pathetic.
