Question about Sweden

Will they have herd immunity after this?  Might have some high numbers, but maybe it will pay off in the next couple of years?

Thoughts?  Insults?

If there is a vaccine by then, which there probably will be, the Swedes approach is going to look stupid.

Thought you guys were saying it would take 4 years?

That was me. Read this.

Y’all really need to start reading what actual scientists are saying about all of this instead of what you personally think. It’s hilarious reading some of these comments on here.

Normally? Sure. Now? Not a chance. There will likely never he another time during our lifetimes when as much medical research focus will be concentrated on a single issue. There are already multiple potential vaccines in phase 1 trials. There will be a vaccine widely available during the 2021 calendar year.

That’s not what the top scientists are saying but you can think what you want obviously.

My primary source is a PhD who formerly worked for the CDC and who currently works for John Hopkins. Her specialty is infectious disease research. She was my wife's college roommate. But I mean hey, if you know a "topper" scientist than that...

Sweet. So everything I’ve read is saying this could be 3, 4, 5 years. They don’t really know. They can make a vaccine quick. Doesn’t mean it’s going to actually widely work or be safe. It takes years to properly test.

Actually, I was wrong on that previous post. She just tweeted one potential vaccine has already passed phase 1 trials and is on to phase 2.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
