Some claim it was successful, but came with a fairly high cost. Again, until we get some "final" numbers from competing solutions, we won't really have a good idea if it was a "success." The hardest part of any definition would be the value assigned to human life. Please don't bother to argue that it's infinite.

Yes the Sweden outcome is still developing, but one thing is very nice to know:

It seems in urban US cities many people were asymptomatically infected which means we MAY be closer to herd immunity than previously thought. Time will tell, but I'm hopeful!

I hope this is ok to add here:

https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/08/30/new-york-reports-a-record-high-in-coronavirus-tests-taken


"Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that 100,022 coronavirus test results were reported in New York yesterday, a record-high for the state. According to the governor, 0.69 percent of those tests were positive for COVID-19, making it 23 straight days with New York producing infection rates below one percent."


Record number of tests taken and infection rate under 1%!!!

Also, if anyone else has any positive updates I'd love to hear!

WOW. .69% is amazing. Why are they testing 100k people a day though?

Back to school testing. All colleges require it.
So they can get low rates.

OH I see.
That is interesting.

So all that being said, do you think the rates are "artificially low" since they are just doing so many tests? Just curious, though i am still hopeful that this is positive news.
