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.

That claim is made without any evidence whatsoever.

The evidence is the death rate due to the virus per million.

A rate implies so many a day or a month.

Or per million of the population.

No.

Yep.

rate: A magnitude or frequency relative to a time unit

Pity about

It' seems your whole argument is based on a misunderstanding of basic
English.

Doesnt matter if you call it death rate per million or
death per million, the number proves that not going
for a lockdown in Sweden has produced a MUCH worse
result than in the other scandinavian countrys, ****wit.

Best stop now.

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

We are talking about the final death toll.

No that evidence of the result sweden has got isnt.

What result, the number of deaths so far, or the death rate?

The number of deaths per million seen right now.

Have you forgotten what it is you're trying to argue?

Nope.

Perhaps you're getting confused?

Nope, you are with the word rate alone.

And you are confusing the death rate with the final death toll, thinking
they are they same.

I am doing nothing of the sort.
