Yeah the door handles is what I'm really worried about. Lights are all controlled by motion sensors in the communal areas
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
If school closures were always happening but timing was the factor, why weren't preparations made prior to the announcement? What the heck was the education minister doing for the last 2 month? Everything seems to be made up as they go along right now
Seems?
Now?
Hired goons?
Thanks for taking the time to post this. Its human nature unfortunately to need someone else to blame.
Personally my opinion of China and the chinese government has quite improved since this began, I think they had mapped and published the full genome sequence of this virus internationally by the 11th January? I don't know exactly what is involved in that process but the speed still seems mind-bogglingly quick from only a few cases of pnemonia in late December.
The sad part is that he probably values your visit for the company and somebody to talk to more than getting the grass cut. Try to check up on him over the phone/over the fence sometime soon if you can.
To be fair, why is "made up" a criticism? Of course it's all made up, nobody really knows what's going on. We can all decide who guessed the best in a few months time.
True, my criticism would be that many governments have been reactive rather than proactive in stopping spread.
So do we reckon today is the day?

"Hired goons!?!?"
Sturgeon has called for non-essential shops to close and non-essential workers to pack in so I'd say that today is the day. She always makes big announcements in some form before the government does.
As my Dad used to say, empty the genepool.
I get the london situation but what is the danger of two people playing table tennis outside ? The virus isn't floating in the air 24 hours of the day, people should be able to leave their houses at certain times. These clips just like look the local Italian mayors have a little bit of a mussolini moment. Also screaming at people to stay indoors but to then to run up to members of the public(Social distancing ?)isn't a good look.
Or am I missing something ?
This will be awful.
Considering the grave situation in Italy at the moment, it's paramount that people follow the restrictions otherwise the virus will continue to spread. So 2 guys playing table tennis might not be such a problem, it gives the impression that it's ok to be outside socialising. I imagine these Mayors are under a lot of pressure to keep the situation in their towns under control.
FFS. All for internet points and attention.
For a moment I thought the message was going to be positive, like, the challenge is making it to the toilet without touching anything.
Oh really?
You know that they can’t even fecking import life saving drugs and necessary medical equipment. There are sanctions.... because of.... don’t even go down this road
There domestically developed mobile app for corona virus for their citizens have been banned by google.... imagine!
Danish PM just anounced that every meassure taken will stay in place until at least april 13. That will make it at least a month where the country is basically shut down. No schools, no gyms, no bars, no gatherings of more than 10 people, people told to work from home.
That's exactly what I thought was going to happen.
How are you gonna dress up all fashionable and walk with swagger only to find a toilet and lick it.
From what I've seen and read the Chinese people are very unhappy with the Chinese Communist Party's initial cover-up of the virus. There is a giant propaganda effort underway by them to deflect from this. I certainly agree the people of China in general and their culture is amazing.

And let's not forget the forced organ harvesting.

I bet you could make some decent money from a drive in cinema right now.
Exactly. Only
Then he's a nob who should be reported. If I knew him, I'd name him all over social media.
I agree the US stance is shameful.
From people hitting the beaches of California and Florida, to people roaming around in UK and to Indians dancing in groups on roads to show solidarity to medical staff fighting virus, it seems stupidity knows no nationality.
We have military helicopters flying overhead now looking for people on the streets. It was noticeably quieter this weekend than it has been in the past, despite the previous 2 weeks of lockdown.
The modern day "social media, do feck all real work" people.
Some funny replies to this tweet... "Let’s be honest, he has licked way worse"
Well done for posting this. I've corrected this misinformation from people several times on this thread, sometimes for people to just say nothing only to then repeat the same misinformation a few pages later.
So has mine. It was only after I was curious to see what they did that I realised 99% of what people have been saying about China were untrue. I was amazed to learn that they informed WHO 4 days after the doctors reported the possible outbreak to the authorities.
To think when the healthcare system collapses, if this young person were to fall sick, an ICU bed would be allocated to him over someone else. FFS
For anyone who wants to get a better idea of how their country (or others) is doing in terms of cases, deaths, recoveries (and where on the curve they are to be), this site is quite good.

If he follows through on this, America is absolutely fecked. These people need to be criminally accountable for "political" decisions which sacrifice lives over money.
We need someone like Roy Keane to go on a rant
The fact that the Chinese public are unhappy with the government shows that they are not slaves or that repressed as some westerners think they are.
The fact that by January they have shared everything they know with WHO and the international community shows that they knew this was going to get bad and they don't want to hide anything.
The Russians closed their borders and started to screen people since January according to WHO.
What makes me really angry is that governments in Europe and North America had all these months to be prepared for what was going to happen yet did nothing at all. They have all these deaths on their heads. The Chinese can be blamed for the dead in China but they can't be blamed for the deaths in the UK or USA etc.
UCLA nurses don't have any protection at all. My sister in law is a very senior nurse and now in isolation with very high fever and coughing. She is now waiting for her test results which is going to take a few days at least.
The USA is still spending billions in warfare and other useless spending yet can't spend on protection for doctors and nurses.
This is what I have been also saying. Dr. Li was told to shut up by the local Wuhan police and not the central government.

I think they're just stressed out. The role of Mayor in Italy is more than just a ceremonial non-executive one, they basically run the smallest units of government (the municipalities, or Comunes). However, some Comunes are huge - Rome for instance is one Comune.
They have a lot of personal responsibility in times like this.
Does anyone know of any reputable sources which explain why the death toll within the US and Germany are considerably less (relative)?
I've been checking that every day. A late surge from America but Japan have gone from 4th to 25th in three weeks. Relegation form that.
The hepatitis hasn't even started to show symptoms yet.
Can't speak for America but I think I read Germany have been testing more people and also have more available beds and medical equipment to keep people alive. Basically they're still getting lots of sick people but are able to treat more. That's the only difference really. They are just better prepared.
