Liberty Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Sweden It seems a bit harsh to constantly review Sweden on the number of deaths compared to their neighbours as their policy was never aimed at less corona death in the first place and they were upfront about this. If someone wants to compare, you have to look at the broader picture (economic growth, quality of life), which you cannot do until much later. Despite what many predicted, their IC capacity seems to be holding. I think it's useful to look at what this approach does vs different approach. I don't see anything harsh or unfair here. I also saw some numbers somewhere that it's not because things arent officially closed that they aren't basically closed.. saw numbers on Swedish restaurants and theaters being basically zero, but don't remember where. Probably same for any big events, travel, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably same for any big events, travel, etc. I think the main argument from the Swedes is that they can keep doing what they have been doing for long time, unlike those nations that are doing a lockdown. The opening of the US in some states where they still don’t really have falling infection rates strikes me as risky, but I guess we will have to see. I think the interesting part will be how we manage to open the schools for the next school year (I assume the current school years is going to be all remote, at least where I live) The state I live in (MA) still has persistently high infection and death rates (in fact. today may have been a record for latter ) which means that our very leaky shutdown probably persists for a while. https://www.mass.gov/doc/covid-19-dashboard-april-29-2020/download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The China study did not show statistical significance and it was in patients with severe disease. The NIAD ACTT study (Not necessarily in as "severe" patients, but hospitalized ones who have imaging findings or need supplemental O2 or a few other criteria) did not show statistical significance in mortality, but did show reduction in time to recovery that was statistically significant. Unfortunately does not seem to be a game changer based on the NIAD press release (study hasn't been published yet), but so far Remdesivir is the only drug that has been shown to do something in a RCT in Covid (unlike Hydroxychloroquine/Azithro), so it's something I guess. So the ACTT shows that it works in patients, but not necessarily severe ones (per inclusion criteria at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04280705). This may indicate that Remdesivir works if administered earlier, before the disease becomes severe. The problem with this is that Gilead has indicated that it takes a lot of resources and time to manufacture doses of this medication (I believe their estimates are to have enough for hundreds of thousands of rounds of treatment this year) and if we are not restricting Remdesivir to only severe patients but giving it to everyone hospitalized, we may not have enough of the drug because that is a fairly large number of patients...

The problem that I see with Remdesivir application early on is that it is administered intravenously in 10 dosages. So it is only something that can be done in a hospital setting (or equivalent ) and not very conducive to early intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutch Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 ^^^ Long term care / nursing home deaths seem to be a significant problem in almost every country where there is significant community transmission. And it seems to be irrespective of whether the country imposed a severe lockdown or not. It's just the perfect combination of density + old age, the condition at which this virus is most lethal. In hindsight, not having foreseen this problem could be the most serious mistake made by the governments / health officials around the world.

Dalal.Holdings Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I’m actually worrying more about long term damage to the economy from overreaction. Closing outdoor spaces (beaches and parks) makes very little sense for something that spreads via respiratory droplets. Keep those outdoor venues open and force 6 ft distancing...these journo photos that shame beach goers is not helping and is ridiculous. Lockdowns have served a useful purpose. We did not run out of vents and icu beds in hard hit regions and people throughout the country have changed their behavior. It’s time to reopen because I do not think the benefit for further lockdowns outweigh the costs... Trump on Sweden: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1255825648448348161?s=21 Despite reports to the contrary, Sweden is paying heavily for its decision not to lockdown. As of today, 2462 people have died there, a much higher number than the neighboring countries of Norway (207), Finland (206) or Denmark (443). The United States made the correct decision! Guess he supported the lockdowns all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, they are locked down across countries, but medical personnel and staff are contact points that carry the infection inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have answered this before but the 1 year - 18 months timeline is what a lot of modeling work is based on -- when they anticipate that a vaccine will be available. The Swedish argument is that you can't keep the lockdown for 18 months and as soon as any country lifts the lockdown, the number of cases/deaths will peak again -- as the modeling work also predicts. Therefore, if you sum up all the deaths over that period most countries would have suffered a similar number of deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flaw with that thinking is that we're learning and working on things that could be here before the vaccine, and the timeline for the vaccine is unknown (could be sooner than we think too), and there's limited healthcare capacity. So if in 2-3 months we have some more therapies/drugs and best practices (proning?) to helps save people who get sick, it's better to be infected later rather than sooner and to keep the curve flat rather than have a high peak early on.

Vaccine -- I think it'd be the same as relying on a miracle when every expert says it would take at least 18 months. Healthcare capacity -- Good point, but it seems Sweden has avoided overflows. At least I haven't seen any news regarding this. This was obviously a problem in NYC or Italy but might have been overestimated in many countries. As you may know, it's quite the opposite in Ontario where cardiac patients are dying due to delayed surgeries while hospital beds are empty. So a lockdown can directly cause deaths, too. Treatment -- I think the Swedish thinking is that reaching the herd immunity quickly is the best "treatment". This is how a pandemic was overcome throughout our history. It does sound cruel but seems like that's what they believe in. What I'm saying is you can't judge their action unless this pandemic has played out. Especially it was their plan to intentionally go through the peak. You can judge that from a moral/ethical standpoint, but you can't judge whether it's working or not -- yet.

muscleman Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 After seeing what's happening in China, I am more bearish now. Here is what I think 1. The virus is not going away. Repeated outbreaks happen over and over in various cities in China right now, though the Chinese CDC kept reporting 0-2 cases each day. Harbin is on 2nd lockdown and Xi'an just had a big outbreak. 2. The Gilead drug helps a little but not a game changer. 3. With social distancing enforced, restaurants and all other serivces would at most run at 50% capacity. If you run a restaurant and have 100 seats, with 6ft distancing, you can only do 30-50 customers at once, depending on your seating locations. This will continue to create a drag. 4. Vaccine is not as easy as people thought. Some vaccines can even cause certain subtypes of the virus to infect even faster because the antibody for the other subtypes act as the key to the door. Of course, the Chinese government wants you to think otherwise. It is now blaming all additional outbreaks on irresponsible foreigners spreading virus in China. I see that in all kinds of social media in China. On top of that, we have Buffet and Munger not buying anything after the big market drop. Has this ever happened before? At the same time, we also have all kinds of 0 experience "investors" taking out their credit card, taking mortgage forebearance etc. to trade in the market. I've personally been contacted by a few college classmates who have never traded stocks now wanting to catch this opportunity of a decade to make money. I have to wonder if Buffet and Munger are smarter or these 0 experience day traders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV2.dk [April 29th 2020] : Daugther invents "Conversation Box" so she can speak with her mother [inside, John] at nursing home. This is a story of a civil engineer called Ulla employed at Novo Nordisk A/S, where she [obviously] is working with work environment on the Novo Nordisk factories, likely with speciality in keeping the air clean, and she has been thinking about how to do something about what everybody is talking about, while nobody trying to do something about it. So she just did it, based on that "... this is not rocket science". - - - o 0 o - - - Decomposition, analysis & solution of a tiny part of an extremely complex issue at hand in totality, and taking a focused stab at that tiny part.

I think people have no understanding of what kind of hurdles we may run into. Although as far as I know animal studies to date have not shown this effect for SAR-CoV2. I also think outbreaks that kill so many people will have negative psychological effect on everyone (even though the mortality will be highest in older people). It will be a drag for larger parts of the economy for some time to come (retail, hospitality, tourism and travel, restaurants, energy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
