Sweden has no been praised by WHO as the way to manage Covid with no lock down.
The data was misinterpreted from the start. The growth of the virus was never exponential as some tried to claim
The feedback loop of scaremongering by academics, the media, the public and government led to poor policy.
The growing evidence is that the UK, USA and other European overeacted to the Imperial Paper that suggested 500,000 deaths with no mitgation.
It is now being suggested that the Imperial Paper all this was based on is going to be retracted before peer review and will never be published. The computer code it was based on is still not published as promised.

The problem we have now in the UK is coronaphobia.
we were up to 900 deaths a day,stil probably 600 today on a sunday count,this under a lockdown,do people seriously believe people would have continued to use public transport,pubs,cafes with well over a 1000 a day dying,we don't need the modellers to tell us what the numbers would look like,we can see for ourselves, airlines would still have been grounded,million,s of jobs lost,we,d still be in roughly the same position .more deaths though a different route

I think it can now for sure be put to bed. I suggest that is why the Imperial code has been published as promised.
Lets look specifically at the exponential growth that this virus was supposed to have.....
It has been proved to be nonsense.
Look at the Belarus data where the treatment was to have vodka and football carried on. No lock down whatsoever.
99 deaths from 16705 cases. No exponential growth.

If people want to leave their homes and go to work, to primary school or meet friends looking the experiences of countries around the world I do not see it as being something that should be stopped by government. It should be up to individuals to decide.

if we decided on a carry on plan do people really think with what we now no that the most vulnerable to virus outside the elderly,nhs workers,carers,cleaners,bame public sector workers,drivers,tube drivers, etc,would have just carried on regardless, obviously putting more pressure on those services and more deaths amongst them services,so business could jog on, NAH CHANCE

Fair enough point IT but isn't the whole lockdown supposed to be for the good of all by individual effort?
defeats the point of "lockdown" if some can and others won't comply imo.

A good place to start would be to see what percentage of the population have had the Corona. What are these 100,000 a day tests testing for?
The science seems to suggest that the number is somewhere between 1m and 6m.
Don't forget that some people are being tested over and over again.

Whispering death -the 100 000 day tests are to see if at that moment in time the person has corona. There is a different test to see if you have had it -see eg https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/coronavirus-antibody-test-what-is-it-virus-blood-nhs-matt-hancock-covid-19-a9423571.html

Not it isn't. R is one of many factors that need to be taken into account. For example how long it takes to infect someone.
R naturally drops as more people already have it or have had it. Nothing to do with lock down.

If no one every was close to anyone else Covid would (probably) not spread.
It might through air and surfaces.
What I am saying is lock down not made the difference people like Ferguson claimed compared to washing hands and social distancing.
He reckoned do it and get 20,000 deaths. Dont do anything and get 500,000 deaths in UK.
Growth rates from places with 'lockdown' or just social distancing do not seem very different.
Also if you lock down totally and do not let it spread at all you will get hit the second wave. Lockdown then build up problems for third wave.
Sweden got this right. We know that now.
Watch the video at the top. Might help you understand what is going on.

Of course not.
We all build detailed models for predicting sports/racing etc on here.
But I would not predict horse racing by inputting football results into the model.
The reality is UK, USA etc got spooked by a model that had was not peer reviewed and had 13 year computer code that was written for a flu pandemic.
The code has not been released. The paper had not been peer reviews. There is a suggestion the paper will be pulled.
So, in summary, there is difference between a model giving a wrong result and a model having faulty inputs and assumptions.

He used their data in real time to suggest the virus was past its peak in China in Feb.
He then saw same patterns in Iran and Italy.
He used this data to show Ferguson had got it completely wrong in real time (not hindsight).
He has been proved to be correct. Whenever there is an outbreak there is limited exponential growth and it slows after about 4-6 weeks regardless of what rules governments impose on people.

What was growing exponentially from tiny starting point? No of tests?
It takes 3 weeks or more to die of Covid and two weeks after lock down deaths per day started to decrease.
Explain why that started to drop so quickly after lockdown.

Which brings us round to how the virus is actually transmitted, a topic that remains far from certain.
What percentage of people becoming infected from inhaling infected droplets ? What percentage become infected from touching an infected surface and then subsequently touching their own nose, mouth, or eyes ?
No one is able to tell us with any degree of certainty.
And yes, there are many things that can be argued, the volume of valid data to support these "many things" is a different matter.

Angoose I am sure you will agree that the growth of deaths in the UK had stopped before any effect could be attributed to the March 23rd official lockdown.
As a side issue you do know who is an important funder for the Imperial research?

R is rate of infection wherby each person infected 2.6 others
Not sure how you can pretend to comprehend this based on your 11k posts
If r>1 then growth is exponential....

So you are referring to all cases regardless as to if they are detected.
In terms of growth depends how fast cases then spread it on..
If the effective R is 2 and they spread it to two people over a year then no problem.
If they spread it in ten minutes you have a major problem.
We have to look at both numbers and not just the 'R'.
