    those Home Depot carts in the lumber section are at least 6 feet long. You could have loaded one up with heavy items like bags of cement on top of 10 foot 2X4's and ran his ass down while still social distancing. Accidental you know...oops!

    What about Sweden. They basically are doing what Trump wants us to do here. No lockdowns and masks are frowned upon. Death rate is 30% higher than the U.S. Their people are sick and dying and their economy is getting hit even harder because they didnt take precautions. Pretending the virus doesn't exist and going about life as usual doesn't work. Sweden has proven this.

    It’s comments like this that’s the reason you are treated the way you are in here. You think before you type? You don’t really think like this do you?

    you are behind the times. Sweden tried to go the herd immunity route to save their economy. They didn't develop herd immunity and they didn't save their economy

    just like the US, they don't mandate mask use, but they do mandate social distancing in public places like restaurants and bars and have strongly encouraged people to stay home. Those are still the recommendations and policies from the national government and they go further than trump ever has. And as the virus spread, more and more people in Sweden started to wear masks.

    I'm not going to get into a back-and-forth with you on mask-wearing. I've seen your act enough to know you'll keep bleating out right-wing talking points and there's no upside in debate.

    What I would tell Sweden is they have more deaths than Florida does and only about 1/2 the people and Florida is considered a failed reopening experiment and one of the worst hit states. Sweden would be even worse by comparison if they were in the USA.

    Next!

    That article says NY failed in flattening their curve, but NY's curve is flattened, so...

    Sweden has a population density of 63 people per square mile.
    NYC has a population density of 27,000 people per square mile! Look at that absurd difference in population density.

    What is it that you want to tell them? They screwed up and it's biting them in the butt:

    "Sweden now has one of the highest death rates in the world — almost 44 per 100,000 people. The number of U.S. deaths per 100,000 is just over 32. In Denmark, it’s 10, and in Norway, less than five."

    "Sweden’s economy, meanwhile, is expected to shrink a punishing 7% this year, about the same as that of the rest of the European Union. And Swedes may be blocked from other countries opening up as part of an effort to close the doors to high-risk COVID-19 areas."

    like I said, there's a buffet of context-less bullshit on right-wing websites that ABM can post to sidestep any common sense argument made here
