In accord with the Florida governor's direction, a sign was posted at the grocery store saying, no one will check out without proof of residency. That, I noticed, had nobody to enforce it. This isn't the "disciplined" Japan or Germany, so they're not asking for "your papers" yet.

Sweden is going with the “herd immunity” option. Their death rate is 9%, globally it’s 6%, and FL and NH are 2.5% and 2%, respectively. Who’s doing it right here?

Please provide the number of the executive order that DeSantis allegedly signed with regards to proof of residency. I’ve been unable to find it.

We have zero (0) clue about infection rates in any country. Trying to figure out percentages of anything when a minuscule sample has been tested is meaningless. We won't know who was "right" for years.

Unfortunately, I think the testing sample will always be small in most places.

Sweden never stopped their children from attending school. Denmark did, and their children start next week.

So, I guess we'll find out; that is, depending on how they've recorded their stats.

Sweden takes exceptional care of their seniors, with "welfare-checking" a frequent and automatic function; oftentimes, cared-for in individual home units.

"Closed Swedish cities", as Malmö is becoming, will skew results.

I won't be back at that sign for awhile, but maybe have located something helpful:

Nothing in there about requiring IDs. Try fact checking before you post this type of stuff. Or take a picture as proof of what you saw, because, as a result of your posting history, I think you made it up.

Newbiesaukee—
Ignoring that the Ronpaul institute is not exactly nonpartisan, the quote itself from Dr. Pablos-Mendez seems perfectly reasonable. The problem is that the serology tests, let alone the PCR tests for the virus, are not yet widely enough used to be able to get valid data to reach any realistic decisions about when to open up the economy.

Ron Paul is equally objectionable to left or right.
Emirates Airlines seems to have useful serology. Will Emirates Airlines be issuing "Immunity Passes" to play doubles-tennis in Michigan?

Actually, an ID showing residency is required to enter this County. Familiar, prominent (but fraudulent) IDs were uncovered, and you can slip-by Deputies by using a boat.

So...I go by today, and the paper sign I saw yesterday is gone, and a plastic sign—posted more prominently—has a shorter message, consistent with even Michigan's restrictive regulations:
