The china solution One solution is to have a strong government that is undemocratic and competent. They call their system "socialism with chinese characteristics" and it can be viewed as a form of national socialism. The chinese government does own a lot of companies and many of these are...

Complications Covid-19 will often result in life-long complications even if you survive the infection, this is the real reason why we need to be serious about stopping the virus, we do want 10% of the population to become permanently disabled...

Why the herd immunity strategy is insanity One strategy to deal with the virus is to just let it spread. One obvious problem with that strategy is that it would overwhelm the hospital system so the deathrate would be needlessly high (around 2%). Another strategy is to just manage it enough to...

About Sweden Sweden didn't do any significant legally mandated lockdowns but the population did follow a lot of volumtary measures including social distancing, Sweden did not do too well in terms of stopping the desease, currently we are #13 in the world in terms of deaths/1000000 For some...
