Little kids (under 5 crowd) can carry about 10 times the viral load of adults. Which any parent with a kid in preschool/daycare/kindergarten could have told you...I never was so sick as I was from the stuff my apparently-immune child brought home from daycare...walking petri dishes that don't socially distance, ever.

This says everything about the US pandemic response that needs to be said:
Meanwhile in Sweden...

And a quite different view:

It's not about stupidity, it's about risk tolerance and accepting that people will die because of it. It's a moral choice, the value of convenience for the majority vs the lives of at risk people. Most of the world seem to value those lives more than economic repercussions and inconvenience. They went a different way and thousands paid the ultimate price with no take backs.

ANY different? But Sweden had a different curve on its first wave right?
So you claim that Sweden's 2nd wave relative to it's first, will have the same ratio of infections and deaths as the ratio of say Japan's 2nd wave to it's first?
Or do you claim that no, actually they'll be different?
One thing I would say about Sweden having lived there... and this is not scientific... the population density is extremely low and people are socially distancing normally... there's not a lot of cheek kissing. I guess that might have at least some effect. Anyway, I think it's difficult to directly compare different countries. For me, knowing how Swedes behave, the death rate is even more shocking.
Really? Well that's shocking considering you being so discrete about your feelings towards HK.
Now if it were me and I was having such a grand time, I wouldn't be wasting my time digging posts that are a few days old about a place I used to live. Guess we are very different. Have you ever researched internet addiction?
