My point is that the argument was we should be 'open up' like Sweden. But even with the measures we have done we've got a higher death rate.
You can bet money it would be even higher if there had consistently been less restrictions as argued for.

Yay for Taiwan!
Not so much “open up” but don’t “shut down”. Have sensible consistent restrictions and guidance that people will adhere to.

No denying that they are going up, but currently on a shallow trajectory.
In regards to “opening up”. As I said in the previous post I just don’t think that shutting down is the answer.
We also need to remove inconsistencies, how can theatres/ cinemas be allowed to open and outside sporting venues not?
Inside only families be allowed around a table, outside 6 from different households around same size table. Is a marquee inside or outside? My local thinks it’s outside.
I could go on, the contradictions in regards to kids/schools......
Shut downs are not the answer. I don’t think there is an answer, so we have think differently
