COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

"Pushing deaths into the present" seems like really bad policy when the entire world is rapidly searching for therapeutics and a vaccine. If we discover next month that a combination of remdesivir and another antiviral reduces fatalities and long term health impacts by 90%, then what do the Swedish policy makers tell their people? There is a growing attitude of "accept the inevitability of this disease". It is defeatist and it's an attitude that can contribute to individuals and nations taking the same route as Sweden.

I agree with that. It is what Sweden looks to be doing, I think therapeutics and treatments are close at hand and waiting a little longer for them is likely a good idea.
