Yeah, it's different in the USA for sure and hard to tell what's going to happen in the near future. FYI cheap air-to-air heat pumps (2-3kW) can be bought here in Sweden for 500-1000 $ with an additional installation cost of, I suppose, around 500$ as well. Larger systems like air-to-water or ground/geothermal-to-water is of course more expensive. Typically up to 15-25 000 $.
A lot of Swedish homes have had heat pumps for a long time now. I can assure you all that we have both plenty of hot tapwater and nice indoor temperatures.
Jeff bezos may be serving me (way to often with unnecessary stuff) , but Elon actually inspires and gives hope.
Bill Gates... I left him and his stuff behind a long time ago.
Seriously... Why do people hate Elon? He makes shiny new great stuff that we can use ffs.
Is Cognitive dissonance the reason for such a weird statement? Why should we give a shit about what you and they (artists) think they're worth? The market has spoken.
Even better... Start f*ckin work instead if whining about your "property".
You say "People" and that is what? 40% 1% 0.00005%?
Hey... Someone sneezed in country X, let's lock us down and enforce usage of (ridiculous) cloth pieces around our mouths. We don't know.
Or why not kill ourselves right away... Otherwise We might die from something?!
You are clearly wrong. The article clearly states that these superspreaders are young and let their mouths go on without anything else than bad stuff coming out. They are millennials!
I'm very sorry for breaking it to you like this, but everyone is already dead in sweden so it's totally risk free. Some people even died twice! I am not sure about myself... Maybe I am Finnished?
Life here in Stockholm is pretty much business as usual. People are more careful in general and respect distance and so on.. there are of course always clusters of morons, that fit the worthless media picture perfectly.
If you dig around the swedish data you'll find that approx 50% of all deaths due to covid here was old people living in nursing homes or having some kind of communal service taking care of them.
The horrible story here is that it was a total fuck up during the first months. No protective gear, nursing home workers had to work with symptoms etc. Doctors have even systematically been ordering palliative care over the phone without even seeing the patients.
There are a lot of people here in Sweden who deserve a place in hell.
But.. this bizarre circus in which Sweden is the epicenter is just... Surreal.. We had 10-20% more deaths in April and May (or somewhere around that) compared to some years back. It is like 500-1000 deaths in total. June is back to normal if I remember correctly. Hello, Sweden is still alive! Get a fucking grip of reality.
Apparently Sweden lost the Corona championship... Most of us here didn't even know that we were in it in the first place.
It is still a tragic situation with many lives lost due to our social democratic politics. We have spent hundreds of billions on other things than preparing for things like this.
