    Good thread on Sweden's experiment with a "herd immunity" approach -- which has turned out as critics feared it would.https://twitter.com/ObsoleteDogma/status/1248330840049954817 …

        Do you have any good data yet on antibody duration? Bc seeing this study on Danish population only 3% having antibodies and SK reporting 140 ppl reinfected seems like there IS no "herd immunity" possible, people get it again and again and do more damage to lungs each time.

        There's no reinfection known to happen, but revitalisation of old infection happens. This video explains it. https://youtu.be/QwoNP9QWr4Y

        It will inevitably be worse. Congratulations Sweden, for letting so many die for no reason.

        Nah, we have reached a plateau, so no, it is not getting worse.

        No. You are tweeting ridiculous statistics. We haven't got "8% fatalities" from the virus. 1200 deaths on more than half a million infected is far less than 8%. Our healthcare is coping. Others might lower curve more, but they will have longer tail.

        The Netherlands is stuck with a government pursuing herd immunity (disguised as 'maximum control'). We need international condemnation. Spread the word. Contain the virus. https://twitter.com/ContainmentNow/status/1266649589106511872 …
