[QUOTE="Chopsy Varmint, post: 6907704, member: 136464"] I am reading what you write, promise. The issue I have with comparing death statistics between countries is that we don't have enough data yet for meaningful assessment. How are Portugal and Sweden recording their cv19 deaths? Are both including care homes, people who die at home, people who die 'with' cv19 rather than 'from' cv19 and how are they judging that? Should people who die during the lockdown from suicide or not receiving medical treatment for heart attacks, strokes or cancer be included? Likewise it's impossible at the moment to compare the ratio of active cases to deaths as not all active cases can be known when there is a fair proportion of people who are asymptomatic or who don't think they have it as they're not as sick as the media say they ought to be if they had cv19. Statistics can be skewed to support an argument. My gut feeling is that in a year's time the numbers will show that Sweden has roughly the same figures as most other European countries, but without causing as much damage to the economy and the welfare of the population. After all, we don't know yet what will happen when locked down countries start easing restrictions. Again, my gut feeling is that cases will rise (including in Portugal) whereas Sweden will hold steady. [/QUOTE]
