It's very confusing because half of what I read says "Sweden was right, they beat coronavirus without a lockdown and saved their economy." And the other half says "See, Sweden didn't lockdown, their population was decimated with a massive deathrate, and their economy still took a hit."
So which is it? They can't possibly both be right. @[Joseph Cox](user:127658) or anyone else, can you please explain the correct answer in as simply terms as possible, without any spin?
Yes, and don't forget, it can be hard to even get the current test and the current test is expensive. This one sounds much better at only $1, much easier to administer, and even if it's only 50% accurate, I've read that the current test is only 70% accurate. Which, while better, isn't so much of a difference.
I find some of these charts confusing. If due to things like "data fixing" the graphs are radically skewed, how helpful are they really? The gigantic spikes in the deaths for Peru and Kyrgyzstan are eye grabbing at first, but then are explained away by fixing the data to include previous deaths. But why weren't they included in the first place?
And how can Spain's deaths be negative? From corrections? Why not just re-plot the charts with the correct data. I think that would be far more telling since the data would be accurate.
