      Parts of Sweden could achieve 'herd immunity' as early as next month, the country's leading epidemiologist has said as the death toll steadily rises.

      "Could".

      Could in relationship to the timing of the heard immunity. Not the fact of herd immunity itself. Even if it is not permanent immunity, there are almost no infections that the body does not naturally gain immunity to for at least a short period of time.

        Articles need to use % per 1000 (a standard for things when measure large populations) so things ca be measured on some sort of normalized footing between locations.

          If they use %, then the "per" isn't needed as it's the per 100 as per 100,000,000 🙂

            Prevalence rates use the term per.

            I prefer % over raw numbers in prevalence rates, but yes, they mean the same thing.

                    Immigration to US to be suspended amid pandemic, Trump says

                    President Donald Trump has said he will sign an executive order to temporarily suspend all immigration to the US because of the coronavirus.
                    On Twitter, he cited "the attack from the invisible enemy", as he calls the virus, and the need to protect the jobs of Americans, but did not give details. It was not clear what programmes might be affected and whether the president would be able to carry out the order.Critics say the government is using the pandemic to crack down on immigration. Immigration has traditionally been a strong campaigning theme for Mr Trump, but has taken a back seat during the pandemic and in the lead-up to the November election.

                      Does it even matter anymore at this point?

                        It means people who were approved or partway through the process but didn't complete it yet are now stuck in limbo, indefinitely. The American approach to immigration.... let you start, never let you finish.

                                  Netflix sign-ups jump during coronavirus lockdowns

                                  Netflix has seen subscriber numbers surge this year, as lockdowns around the world keep people at home where they want to be entertained.
                                  Almost 16 million people created accounts in the first three months of the year, the firm said. That is almost double the new sign-ups it saw in the final months of 2019. However, the streaming service, which is behind some multi-million dollar productions, said shutdowns have halted "almost all" filming around the world. And sharp declines in the value of many currencies has meant new subscribers outside of the US, where Netflix is based, are not worth as much to the company as they would have been before the crisis. And that has hurt its international revenue growth.

                                          Coronavirus: First US deaths weeks earlier than thought

                                          An autopsy in California has revealed that the first US coronavirus-related death came weeks earlier than previously thought.
                                          The first previously known death in the US was in Seattle on 26 February and the first in California on 4 March. New information from a Santa Clara county coroner changes that timeline. Autopsies on two people who died on 6 February and 17 February show they died with Covid-19. Samples from the autopsies were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which confirmed the presence of the virus, California's Santa Clara County coroner's office said in a statement on Tuesday.

                                            This would indicate that they were sick and contagious for up to a month prior, most likely.
