Conservatives often complain that the left believes that biological realities will go away if you just win enough Twitter arguments.
But how would you describe someone who responds to the observation that US hospitals in some areas are already at capacity with "But Sweden"?

Like, even if you won this argument, or at least made your interlocutor too tired to continue it, the virus is not going to scream "Aiieeeeee, Sweden, I am slain!" and stop ripping through hospitals.
We need to spend more time addressing the physical reality of a virus that cannot read and therefore does not know or care about anything except infecting us. And way less time litigating past policy grievances, or demanding a hall pass from biology for our very special cause.
If you want to argue for let 'er rip indoor dining and church every day, fine, but you have to argue from the likely results, not what someone said in March.
