If you write an article about how Sweden or Belarus or Florida is going to be carpeted with bodies because they didn't follow social distancing rules, and then it doesn't happen, please have the courtesy to write a follow-up about how it's curious that those forecasts were wrong

As a number of other commenters have mentioned, the Swedish *people* are smarter than their head epidemiologist, and are distancing anyhow. The other aspect of a steady state is that it starts to get built in as the virus works its way through the most vulnerable ...
