@IngrahamAngle The Swedish approach is killing & sickening more ppl than their neighbor, Norway, which jumped on it right away--how few cases they've had, how few deaths; versus hospitals about to be totally overwhelmed and a skyrocketing death rate...just like the USA.

@IngrahamAngle Let me explain this to you, since you seem to be uniquely dense about numbers & reality.

INFECTION RATE INCREASES
Norway's hard nosed approach: 0.97%
Sweden's "do nothing" rate 2.47%

% OF POP INFECTED
Norway: .41%
Sweden: 3.10

That's more than SIX TIMES as of 3/28

@IngrahamAngle In 10 days

New cases Sweden on given day

3/28: 3,663 new 4/8: 8419 Increase 133% ⬆️

Norway
3/28: 266 new 4/8: 120 new DECREASE 221% ⬇️⬇️

Sweden's pop is about 2x that of Norway. Even accounting for that difference, Norway's Coronavirus #s are phenomenal.

@IngrahamAngle So, Ms Ingraham, you are promoting a DEATH TRAP for Americans.

But you won't be one of the people who dies. The people who will die will be WORKERS at the bottom of the heap, plus med staff.

Here's a revolting precedent for what you propose:

@IngrahamAngle In short, epidemics have been used by the wealthy in the past to drive wages down and keep workers from seeing how the wealthy regard them as mere commodities with little value.

They kept and GREW their wealth. Workers DIED by the thousands.

You are revolting, ma'am.
