And you've got a lot of posters on here who are like the stupid rich people on the ship. "Tell the servants to turn the heaters on in the rooms. It's quite chilly out here."
There is no official study or accredited scientific body claiming Sweden has herd immunity as far as I am aware. If you can provide one please do, and I will take back this statement.
The full article references their recommendations with myocarditis, says they recommend no high strain physical activity for 3 months! Man, that would suck for the athlete cause that's your whole season regardless of if the initial symptoms from covid are over...Can you imagine trevor lawrence being anything but unhappy if he caught covid and then happened to be one of those who got myocarditis?
Agree, and there is more evidence that it has not happened, like this journal published article.

To be honest, I can't. What I was saying is that nothing definitively proves Sweden has reached herd immunity. 1. Because we don't know what percentage is required to achieve herd immunity for Covid, as that varies from illness to illness depending on how contagious it is, and 2. I don't think there has been a study in Sweden to estimate what level of the population has Covid antibodies.
I mean if the level of football shrank to that of the MiAC of course some fans would be lost. But fans are lost when the team is 5-7 instead of 9-4
Sorry to confuse you but my reaction was to his comments not the article.
@Taji34, you'll be the last to know, but our official and accredited scientific bodies are politicized and corrupt. You'll have to read the graph for yourself, and note that the vast majority of people who have caught COVID are not going to catch it again and pass it to others.
I'm in Iowa no lockdown here. Masks are not required except by Wal-Mart and Menards. Target might I haven't shopped there in years.
rare?
Good luck!
We are going to see very soon...there's an election coming up. It sure looks like Biden will win. If this does happen will the drama level of news coverage about Covid tone down? I am not saying - but I am watching with interest.
I never said the source had to be in the US. I would accept a foreign study or accredited scientific body claiming Sweden has heard immunity.
Could the CFL expand to the U.S.? (yes, I know about the current COVID border restrictions). I kind of like their rules. Add a few U.S. cities to the league and you'd get some interest from the U.S. fans. Not saying this will happen, but it'd be a way of a league with seasoned teams becoming more of a competitor to the NFL.
Moving the goalposts is done all the time in politics... But yes, good point about CFL. The fields in the U.S. are shorter, and the endzones not as deep. If there really was an expansion to have teams in the U.S. (again, I'm not predicting this will happen), they could figure a way to make an existing field work.
They've taken the "the less you test, the less cases there are" approach. Kinda joking but they don't test as many people as some other countries have.

The hypothesis for that theory is that it could be as low as 20% (rather than the normal 60-70%). Let's math that out.I don’t think you can say that with 100% certainty. There is a THEORY (key word here) that herd immunity may be lower. The TLDR version is that immunity from previous infection/illness (likely other similar viruses) is effective for some in fending off COVID-19.
Coronavirus: could it be burning out after 20% of a population is infected?
There is speculation about whether a population can achieve some sort of immunity to the virus with as little as 20% infected.
We may already have herd immunity - an interview with Professor Sunetra Gupta
Professor Sunetra Gupta has led an Oxford study indicating that some parts of the UK may already have reached herd immunity from coronavirus.
