I agree with most of your assumptions, it makes sense that if you have less close physical contact, then you are less likely to catch or spread a disease, but is it really 50% of people living alone. People from Scandinavia, really have won the lottery of life, they live in a liberal society with a high standard of living, low crime, they are good looking and live in low density towns and cities.
I don't think it is quite 50%, but it is mostly because it is usual for children to leave home at eighteen, and the elderly have support so they can stay at home and out of care homes. |

I think it's worth looking at the current figures in Sweden; loads of people have this now accepted trivial virus.  |

What has helped Sweden's approach to Covid - and not often mentioned - is that their culture is less gregarious.
This sort of stuff sounds suspiciously vague to me.
People use it to try and snuffle out the huge problem of Sweden doing no worse than us, but without destroying the country and thousands of lives in the process.
It is also noticeable that this sort of completely unscientific "reasoning" is used by those first to quote "science" as the reason the UK is justified in engaging in collective suicide...
200 000 projected to die because of lockdown.
Less "Gregarious"/More "conforming".
Not. Bloody. Good. Enough. |
