Similar to HIV, we don't know the long term effects. In addition, we're just not a healthy society to begin with. But hey, I think everyone is entitled to do what they want, just don't affect others. If you want to go to a COVID party and then hunker down for 4 weeks after, go for it.
But yes, testing does have false negatives. You're not going to 100% stop the spread but you can definitely mitigate it through testing. Better to catch 95% of the cases and let 5% get through than to fly blind.
Sweden did FAR worse than their Nordic counter parts. As a matter of fact, more people died per capita in Sweden than America (though we'll probably pass them). It'd be really cool if America was like the Nordic countries but we're a 3rd world country compared to them.
I imagine that Brazil, once it's all said and done, will be one of the worst countries. That place is a fucking shit hole.
Sweden's GDP grew five percent this year.
The deaths in the USA from isolation based suicide more than compensate for your neurotic shutdowns and top-down control schemes than don't work.
