Which experts got it right?
The Swedish epidemiological team? The state of Florida epidemiological team?
Both regions of whom had better outcome per capita with less Covid restrictions than numerous states who followed the mainstream 'experts' advice.
How do you measure 'got it right'?
- robocat 6y agoCut n pasting the same comment[1][2] multiple times is rude IMHO. I believe that there is a lot of noise in the numbers, and a large numbers of causal factors. Florida or Sweden could easily be random outliers, or that the actual reasons could not be due to the cause and effect you are using as an “explanation”.

- nickthemagicman 6y agoThere's a combined total of around 30 million people in those places. That's a decent enough population size to to make me wonder why places with a lot more draconian restrictions have worse covid outcomes. I don't know if noise is a sufficient explanation to me for 30 million people.
