Could you? My impression is you have too much integrity to do that. Ignoring the obvious difference between a largely rural Nordic country and one of the world's most densely populated trade centers might be hard for you.
>We both look at the same data and come up with different conclusions
I have yet to draw a conclusion. If you read my comment carefully, it's cautioning you against coming to a conclusion too soon.
- mikem170 6y agoAgreed. It would be prudent to ease out of lockdowns with the capability to return to them if hospitals are becoming overwhelmed. The county I live in is taking a phased approach to opening businesses based on the risk of exposure for workers and customers. They haven't started yet. I question some of their targets, but am glad that they have measurable targets.
