      Does it work in reverse? Does everyone who favours Sweden's universal health care have to also support their no-lockdown model?

      Does anyone who supports either also have to eat pickled herring and listen to ABBA? Just trying to get a handle on your thought processes

      She's saying that if you feel you have the right to ask the public to absorb the risk of infection to support the economy you have the responsibility of offsetting that risk by paying for their healthcare if they get sick

      That sacrificing people's health to boost any economy that doesn't actually benefit them in any way is evil This isn't hard

      Let's try an exercise: let's see if you can understand the point of view of someone who thinks differently to you.

      Not me, in this case. I favour Sweden's social safety net stuff—and I honestly don't if Sweden's no-lockdown policy is correct...

      But let's try to imagine the point of view of someone who thinks otherwise. Let's start with the no-lockdown policy.

      One argument in favour of that is that the policy has a straightforward MEDICAL justification:https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/04/29/delaying-herd-immunity-is-costing-lives/ …

      Yes This justification, which I think is extremely flimsy even for Sweden, is dependent on the idea of a stable and predictable growth curve of infections measured against a stable and predictable supply of hospital capacity

      This ONLY WORKS if you have a relatively healthy population that manages health risk "rationally" and utilizes the medical system as efficiently as possible, i.e. going to see a doctor as soon as they might be sick, staying home as soon as they know for sure they're infected

      If this isn't the case, and you face the possibility of a rapidly accelerating growth curve, then the math of this dubious "Let the young and healthy build their immunity over time" argument collapses You'll rapidly eat up all that hospital capacity you were saving for later

          Which is very likely to happen in a society where the poorest people in the jobs that put them at highest risk of infection have the strongest reason to deny being infected and keep on working to pay their bills until they can't

          And where, because they have crappy insurance or crappy primary care providers, they don't actually get appropriate testing and treatment until it's too late, ending up collapsing in the street and going to the ER in an ambulance instead
