Soaring already DOA for the season???

I've been skeptical of the projections of mortality rates for some time.
The article about the Swiss, and their reading of this is similar. As well as the recent change of the model to a reduced mortality rate by the author of the Imperial College bears out my original skepticisim.

From the artical on how Switzerland is still open:
"His team at the Public Health Agency of Sweden is critical of the Imperial College paper that warned this month that 250,000 people in the UK would die if the government failed to introduce more draconian measures. A week later Johnson ordered the police to implement a partial lockdown to combat the virus, telling people they “must stay at home�.


“We have had a fair amount of people looking at it and they are sceptical,� says Tegnell. “They think Imperial chose a number of variables that gave a prognosis that was quite pessimistic, and that you could just as easily have chosen other variables that gave you another outcome. It’s not a peer-reviewed paper. It might be right, but it might also be terribly wrong. In Sweden, we are a bit surprised that it’s had such an impact.�

I'm not being crass here, certainly this virus is one of the worst ever. That being said, real science allows for the correction of a theory based on newer data. That data is being gathered now as we get more real world evidence of the actual numbers, both infection rates and mortality rates.

By what means is Switzerland still open?!

Sweden and Belarus are operating as normal, don't know about Switzerland.

Switzerland is locked down, like all countries who's leaders have some brains left.

Oh I’ve got a great idea, We should get Berney in that office, he can really relate to the “chinese� and the russians....oh I know, how about Biden, but you might need to remind ole Joe what day it is or where he’s standing. Yeh lets get some “smart guys� to handle this thing. How about putting all the dem’s (Polosi, Schumer, no brain Cortez) that mercilessly harranged and chastized Trump when he closed our borders last month, and who are now singing a different tune, conveniently forgeting their esrlier objections. Yes Polosi, thats the ticket, the gal who held up the aid package for a whole week so she could stuff it with non-virus-crisis pork and funding for the Kennedy center and planned parenthood. Yeh theres the solution, Moriarty Dan...better buy some more ammo lol.

To be clear: Nobody cares about US internals, and not a lot of people care how you handle Covid-19 in the US.

Have fun with the Orange Man.

Dan,
Such dizzying intellect! Normally one would have to waste time watching Fox News to get this type of spiteful ignorance and conspiracist fodder. Thank you for bringing it here to this totally unrelated and inappropriate forum (About soaring). God bless you Dan, the time you save us here can be spent laying around the house.
