We did it to avoid overwhelming our healthcare system because the estimates were saying as many as 2 million will die.
Nobody disputes that shutting down the economy by isolating everyone will flatten the curve (spread out the exposures over a longer period of time to avoid a giant swell of cases up front).
Sweden decided not to “flatten their curve”. They decided to take their cases up front whereas other countries that chose isolation will have them trickle in more slowly over time.
In the end everyone in all countries will be exposed.
You are not impugning Sweden’s decision as you are being told by your radical left wing sites that you are with this silly comparison to nearby countries who chose differently (I won’t even get into the difference in testing capabilities). You are reporting the inevitable consequence of up front cases that Sweden understood from the start that they would incur.
The real question is: “Was the Swedish healthcare system overwhelmed by its volume of cases such that there were unnecessary deaths from lack of ventilators, etc.
The answer to that question thus far is, “No.”
In the meantime, Sweden did not turn off their economy and put everyone out of work.
Now you say everyone will be “exposed” rather than get it. But not all “exposures” will be equal, especially because there will be treatments and eventually vaccines. And many more will not die if the hospitals are not overwhelmed. So stalling will lead to better outcomes.
So cut the crap implying that everyone is going to get it so might as well get it now, so it’s all the same, mmmkay?

they pass the peak, they don't need to worry about incoming 2nd wave, 3rd wave like the lockdown countries now are worried about. If you loose lockdown, the virus spread will come back....kind of trapped in this pandemic.

me a clear personal answer, but what if someone else's beliefs give them a different answer ?
This individual determination is why I struggle with any legislative or court rendered solutions.
The issue is this: does the moral decision result in a victim? Does it have implications for another person?
If so, it is not a personal matter.
Biology science books agree that life begins at conception, so another human being is involved in the abortion, and they are victimized in that their life is ended without their consent.
Contrast this with contraception, which has no victim. Whether or not someone uses a condom is a personal matter...the church can be against it, but government should not be involved because there is no victim.
Abortion has a victim, so it is proper for government to be involved, just like it is with every other type of homicide. We don't say murder is a personal religious choice because it is in the Ten Commandments. It is a personal religious choice, but it is also the proper domain of government because there is a victim.
This is why there is an organization called Atheists for Life. Abortion is not a religious only issue any more than stealing is a religious only issue.
economy? Interesting concept.
convenient.
