This is ridiculous.

"Ryounosuke Takanori, a spokesperson for TEPCO told CNN in a statement that the concentration of carbon-14 contained in the treated water is about 2 to 220 becquerels per liter, as measured in the water tanks. Takanori said "even if the water is continuously drunk by 2 liters every day, the annual exposure is about 0.001 to 0.11 millisieverts, which is not a level that affects health.""

2.8 million PSI is what you wrote in your title. That is wrong. Abstact (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2801-z) says "An important discovery leading to room-temperature superconductivity is the pressure-driven disproportionation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to H3S, with a confirmed transition temperature of 203 kelvin at 155 gigapascals."

155 gigapascals is 1.55 M bar, or... 22.5 million PSI. But thanks for checking before replying.

Per capita they are as well.. Read the article. "According to the scientific online publication Ourworldindata.com, Covid-19 deaths in Sweden were the highest in Europe per capita in a rolling seven-day average between 12 and 19 May. " It's averaged data from the most recent week, and Sweden's numbers are trending down. It's not good reporting. Overall, their numbers are quite good.
