That makes sense, though I would advice against the latter way since it will show massive dips and spikes due to variation in reporting. Notably, the reports dip every weekend and there was a huge dip over Easter that took ages to get caugh

Where are you getting that from? FHM's Covid-19 tracker [1] shows the most deaths occurring on 8/4. Of course, because there's a lag in the reporting that is likely to change over time. Either way, the data for yesterday is t

>The herd immunity strategy is working, antibody testing shows around 30% of Stockholm is already immune This isn't true (or, at least, isn't supported by studies). There was indeed a report [1] published that claimed that 30%

The simplest reason is probably because that type of internal political debate is unlikely to be reported by foreign media, assuming you aren't consuming any Swedish news. That's not to say that too much discussion of these types

While current Swedish strategy carries a high risk of bringing it to that point, that statement is absolutely false right now. Swedish deaths per 1 million are currently 102, significantly lower than Spain (397), Italy (348), France (241),

This seems to be a problem with most similar review systems. I believe Uber has similar issues with anything less than 5 stars being considered unacceptable and causing problems for drivers.

There are some parallels to Stoic philosophy there. Ancient stoics would exercise regularly but state the health effect as a secondary benefit, the primary benefit being the virtuous exercise of discipline.

These figures[1] seem to indicate a ~50% decrease in carbon emissions for the same energy generated, but I'm not sure if it carries over directly to power plants. Also, there's this fairly interesting (supposedly) zero-emissions n

At risk of being nitpicky, Hannibal's reward was probably more in terms of defeating/killing Romans, as his entire life was more or less focused on hatred for Rome and a wish to destroy it. I only bring this up because rewards can
