People who don’t have it shouldn’t be wearing a mask.It seems most people in Europe/America still don't wear masks
Hong Kong and Taiwan are both very close to the outbreak yet has this relatively contained because EVERYONE wears masks everyday.
I asked myself the same question, I suppose that some don't have printers and I hope that the police will have forms and not simply fine people.Can I ask you (French) and the Italians a practical question? How do you get these forms? I imagine most households don't have a printer!
I dunno what teachers are doing where you are, but in 2 days I, and the rest of my school district's teachers, converted our entire curriculum over into a virtual learning format and are continuing to teach our students during this quarantine.Teachers shouldn't be getting a few months off with full pay for me. They should be in schools working with the small group of kids who can't stay at home because their families work in NHS etc. They could do their planning for next year too.
Seen loads of tweets from teachers who clearly just want to be off work and get full pay. Absolutely no chance. You can still work like the rest of us.
Does CDC recommend the use of facemask to prevent COVID-19?It seems most people in Europe/America still don't wear masks

Should have been at the weekend but our government is so reactive to everything.Could see a London lockdown as it's become a hotspot recently
It’s not really to do with masks. They might help a little but it’s really only fitted filtered face masks that really help. One reason Hong Kong is relatively well is because they are so well prepared after SARS. Hand sanitizers everywhere. Government instruction videos about cleanliness in your house, battalions of cleaners cleaning everything that’s frequently touched. They are just prepared for it. They kept all this up even though sars was a few years ago. I only know this because my sis lives there. Compare that to here.It seems most people in Europe/America still don't wear masks

Where were they coming from?Brother in law just drove past like 50 'tanks' (assuming he means personnel vehciles) heading london direction.
Could be an unrelated event and i got told by the wife so i take no responsibility for this statement
It actually is quite restrictive, because it makes you a bit anxious about being stopped and then finding your reason for travel isn't accepted. You double-think everything.Don’t get me wrong I know people need to leave the house but that’s quite a consideration amount of reasons to leave the house. It’s basically what’s happened in the UK but instead of calling it lockdown it’s called essential travel.
Yeah, it's going to get very bad, very quickly.104 have now died in UK
If we get anywhere near 15k a day it will be insanely impressive. For context, the UK today said they were looking to ramp up to 25k per day. Per capita that'd be quite a gap.I thought it was about 15,000. If you read down through the article, Varadkar says 15,000 per week which seems much more realistic - but the guy in UCD seems to think 15,000 per day will be possible.
Either way, I’m happy we’re aspiring to test as many as possible. The more people know they have it, the more we can keep them away from others and trace who they’ve been in contact with, so we can then test them. Hopefully this will help reduce asymptomatic spreaders. We’ve a manageable enough population that it should help.
Right so a guy really fecking up a job where he's responsible for millions of lives isn't worthy of discussion? I tell you what, without that discussion and all the subsequent U-turns we'd be in a real mess right now.People using this to bash Boris and his cabinet or whatever it's called... Just feck off, half you can't decide which shampoo to buy, let alone make serious decisions. It's not the time to play "political smartarses".
Our behaviour is similar to that of the Italians. Look at them now.The people complaining about being locked away are too long sighted as understandable as it is, we need a chance to fight back and we need to push this back to give us breathing room.
People are anxious because they know whats coming but havent registered it yet. When hospitals are overflowing and social media really brings it home we will see a lot more understanding of the shitshow we are in and little complaints about being stuck in the house for a week or two can fade into the background.
Hopefully reinfection is low and we can ease back into society with understanding about hygeine and social distancing. Thats what we have to aim for.
The economy will tank anyway, if you let it run ranpant then you become lepers to the world until you get it undet control. It doesnt really matter how many people say feck it and lets get back to work, youll be cut off to the world
I must admit though, I've noticed I've been hearing 'it's just flu' a lot less from some people crowing that phrase on loop until only last week!The people complaining about being locked away are too long sighted as understandable as it is, we need a chance to fight back and we need to push this back to give us breathing room.

Would have been around Northampton and I'd assume the M1.Where were they coming from?

Ireland is still a very humid country which could help.I hope so. We have a similar population to Singapore spread out over a much greater landmass. Weather aside, we should be able to cope in a similar way.
Last night my mother and sister both started showing symptoms, they’re now both booked in for tests at Croker tomorrow after talking to their GP today. They both got called within 30 minutes.
Probably a bit but not too much. You need to be totally sure that the vaccine is safe, it does not make things worse, and it actually works. Imagine vaccinating the population and ending the suppression stage, to only find out that the vaccine does not work.
Apparently, the only way to know this for sure is testing, testing, and testing. Start with a few people (while animal testing is going in parallel *), then do a few dozens of people, then do for thousands of people (while vaccinating as many people with placebo vaccines to see the difference). Then wait. And then wait more. And then start mass-producing it, giving it first to people who are in high-risk categories (or in case of US, those that have top insurances).
All the researchers are saying that 12-18 months is actually a miracle. It typically takes 10-20 years.
* First time ever for this to happen. Typically, it is done in animals for a few years before starting with humans. Anyway, the vaccines are already developed by different companies. Now it is important to see if they really work. The first one developed is from a company that has never made a licensed vaccine and who is using a novel technology (it does not use the virus at all). While the vaccine won't be able to do infections on its own (so it won't kill us), who knows what can be the side effects (remove for good the immunity against that - or similar - viruses, weaken the immunity system, who knows. Unlikely but we are in uncharted territory and we cannot feck this up).
Great and informative posts. Cheers.18 months is nothing in terms of testing and getting a vaccine approved, manufactured and distributed. No matter how much money you throw at it you can't shorten testing indefinitely. And that assumes the vaccine works and doesn't have side effects. And that we can even develop a working one. Like we didn't/couldn't for SARS and MERS - the other nasty recent corona-viruses (or the corona-viruses that constitute 1/3 of colds - that we also haven't been able to make a vaccine for).
Then there is the fast mutations that vaccines create when used on viruses.
It could all go to plan and work well but nothing in this pan is certain and drug trials usually take longer than planned.
We need to act as if this isn't going to happen and be pleasantly surprised if it does.
Debate over the strategy yeah, but it's feckwits saying "Boris is shit" "haha Boris is clueless" as if he hasn't got loads of advisors around him and medical professionals, not a bunch of people behind a computer screen eating wotsits in their underpants.Right so a guy really fecking up a job where he's responsible for millions of lives isn't worthy of discussion? I tell you what, without that discussion and all the subsequent U-turns we'd be in a real mess right now.
Robust debate over the best strategy is the only thing that will expose what that strategy should be unless you're willing to leave it to 400 corrupt ivory tower feckwits who all studied classics at Oxford and are therefore clearly thoroughly equipped to judge the best course of action in a pandemic?

Not reading all that but "it will" or it could? Or worst case scenario?
The education secretary is making a statement at 5pm so this may be about to change. My nephew and niece's school has just announced they have had to close due to staff having to self-isolate so I'd imagine they will be closed sooner rather than later.Schools closing in Wales and Scotland but not England. I mean what is wrong with parliament just make the decision universal. The dithering they have done since the weekend has allowed this virus to spread ten fold. Absolute morons.
If anything, on my FB feed it’s the opposite who are bashing him.Nationalism really does rot the brain.
I wonder how many pages Trump managed.

Fairly certain we will have them closed by Monday in NI.NI schools taking it into their own hands as well. Arlene needs to stop looking at London first to make political points
Just had something similar at my university. A guy came in on Monday who was in our lab for around 3 hours, and who I spent an hour talking to. I later found out his housemate has been very ill with Covid like symptoms. Then yesterday he himself went into self isolation due to coming down with the same symptoms. I found this out today and went to the University health and safety manager and told her this. Her reply “if he hasn’t got a positive diagnosis then no measures will be taken and no one recommended to self isolate”. How can he get a positive diagnosis when they’re not testing people without severe disease aka 80-90% of infected people? The reason for testing is to prevent further spread. Ridiculous, country is going to be decimated in a very short time with attitudes like this. Stark contrast to the response shown by China and the surrounding countries.How do you know you can go back to work if you are not tested?
Say you have a cough, you isolate, think you've had it then go back to work.
Next thing you know, you actually have it, because last time was the flu, and you just infected your nan.
Besides, we are not, currently, even testing the doctors and nurses treating patients with this disease.
Get this man another shed!Right so a guy really fecking up a job where he's responsible for millions of lives isn't worthy of discussion? I tell you what, without that discussion and all the subsequent U-turns we'd be in a real mess right now.
