Ever wondered how you would perpetrate a global hoax, a self-sustaining one ?
Or, what happens when someone who is .... always giving incorrect Modelling,,,, somehow rises to a height beyond his abilities and is listened to ? (a.k.a. The Peter Principle)

It appears to fit in with all that the world is going through especially our Sth Eastern State.
Thanks.
Interesting. I have heard another theory that Africa has less international travel so less mobility equals less spread of the virus. No idea if that is right though.Quote:

Not only but also, said sunlight benefits cardio vascular health, another risk factor for the vulnerable. The icing on the cake, sunlight - as compared to Victoria's dour weather AND lockdowns - elevates mood, another positive for 'immunity'.
Indeed there is a relatively newly-named branch of the Healing Arts, "Psychoneuroimmunology" that integrates the 'Head / heart & body'

I suspect this (higher National morale) has played a part in Sweden's success, and just as importantly, the populace's confidence and approval of their government....
Eat your heart out Mr Andrews !!!
What success? Sweden has failed badly with a much higher death rate than ours.

I came across an expression of this a couple of years ago: despite the evidence provided from Australia, the Swedes - and Volvo - kept insisting that their approach to road safety and the protection of infants was the only valid one. Ever wondered why your Euro car doesn’t have a central Isofix mount? Blame the Swedes.
We will be as "successful" as Sweden when we have 14,829 deaths.
Sweden has 580 deaths per million. We have 33 per million. It might take us a while to achieve their level of "Success".
Significantly higher and their economy has taken just as big a hit, so what was the point?Quote:

This VW has 3 top mounts for child seats, so I'm thinking L, Centre and R side placement.
