Serial origamist Has Achieved Nirvana ![]() |
I breezed past a headline this morning, but the gist of it was... a "protester" in the U.S. had a sign that said "Let's be like Sweden", but the irony is that the approach in Sweden is based on an innate trust of the government... the exact opposite of the right-wing mindset. Some of the most dangerous words ever spoken were "government isn't the solution to your problems; government is the problem."

But...but...it's all a HOAX! The ENTIRE WORLD is collaborating to bring down Donald J. Trump! I swear, this pandemic has done more than 64 years of life to convince me of the utter stupidity of the human race.

Not only has Sweden now surpassed the other badly hit W. European countries in COVID deaths (all but Germany, really) but it has horrifically outpaced the other Scandinavian countries. The only "good" thing is that their strategy wasn't covert but taken with knowledge and approval of the populace and they seem to be Ok with the outcome now. So, one says anyhow. ![]() I'm most disturbed by the implications of the testing in Stockholm showing barely 7% of the population are showing antibodies indicating exposure/otherwise acquired immunity. So many of us were hoping that their (frightening) "herd immunity" experiment would at least be worth the risk and pay off. ![]()

It was an unusual (and I might add shocking) approach. I like the nuance you give of it having had (at least) the tacit approval of the populace. Yet it seems to have been a total failure. | |||
