Yeah there was a bit of controversy around some young lads in Florence who were stuck in quarentine for months because they kept testing positive and Italy's rules were you had to have two negative tests before ending isolation.
Good news mate. Congrats
They are not wrong, they are ..
Today, I am making the list for the people that get the vaccine. You know, because it's reals.
EDIT: this is a list many people have had to do, many on this here forum
Somehow this post makes even less sense than the last one.
Cases still rising in Italy and our region has been moved up into the orange group, which means we can't leave the village now. It's back to how we were in the first wave. Oh well, we'll sit tight (again).
Good luck - stay safe!
Thank you, they don't mess about here. When they say you can't do this or that, they mean it!
I honestly don’t understand what you’re saying in this post
Only slightly different to here then.
Do you have to apply for permission to leave the house?
No my dear boy, that was a joke of a post of something real. Today we signed for the v.. it's not the
Apart from waiting 4-6 weeks too long with the measures.
Interesting article just published in Nature on Danish mink mutations.
tl;dr. Most problematic mutation re potential vaccine resistance seems to be “dead end” as very few mink/people infected. Mink farms in general a big problem. They act as a reservoir of virus, with large localised outbreaks associated with them and increase potential for virus mutations. Not sure how virus spread from human to mink and back but virus has been isolated from houseflies and a seagull’s foot!

How can there still be mink farms, how can people wear real fur.
Australia has now gone a week without a case of community transmission and Victoria over 2 weeks. The plan is to have all states open by Christmas. Fingers crossed as I suspect there are a few undiagnosed cases about still.
I agree with that - we all should have been red zones from the beginning.
This is interesting/good/true.
I think PM Conte will find that out to his chagrin in the next election. He had masses of goodwill after last time, now all gone. He's been flip flopping between various interest groups far too much, especially the education minister.
People in Naples are out protesting in the streets again, on the same day pictures come out of their hospitals giving people oxygen in the car park because there's no more room inside
My province is regularly posting 1000+ cases a day now but at least we have the hospitals to cope so far.According to the news we soon will be.
Could you paraphrase what it says as it's asking for registration?
Can you give us a rundown on why as you need to sign up to read it
Tricky to summarise but apparently one of the big medical journals published a small study proving that masks don’t reduce the oxygen in your blood. The linked article was a physician saying that studies like that do more harm than good. They’re based on a small number of subjects and the people whose minds are made up about masks will easily find ways to criticise the findings (why didn’t they look at CO2, as well as O2? etc) So publishing weak data, with an obvious agenda just makes people more distrustful of science in general.
Here’s the conclusion.
Yeah both the summary and the things you posted above make sense. The problem is people will always gravitate to the opposite of mainstream, so being open and truthful I don't think would work either.
Anyone else got friends/family who are just constantly breaking or trying to get others to break the rules? Honestly completely brain dead, finding it very hard not to call them out on it.
Yeah it's probably the most stressful thing of it all
I can’t tell if this is satire.
It's actually not, although rereading I can see how it would be taken that way.
I mean as in we're being safe and then are being looked down on by certain family members, despite the fact they are aware I'm high risk. Like how do I stop that ending in an argument
Completely agree mate! Must be even more infuriating when you’re high risk too!
I understand that it’s frustrating for some, but the same people who are moaning about these rules being implemented are the ones out there spreading it.
Thanks.
Hey guys. I’m glad to say I’ve been allowed home to recover now, and I’m on the mend. I can admit to being petrified , and seeing things in hospital I’d rather not have seen. But I’m a lucky one. I’ll get better now.
Thanks for all your comments .
Stu
Glad to hear you're on the mend
Good to hear. Take it easy until you're sure you're alright.
Great to hear that you're back home. Take care during the recovery, and be patient with yourself.
Covid-19 new cases in USA now running at over 175k per day and accelerating. That means at least 1.25 million new cases per week. It's basically spiralling out of control.
Yeah I think the USA is more akin to newqauy
brilliant news, pleased to hear you’re on the mend!
Glad to hear you’re on the mend mate! Take the recovery steady!
Glad to hear you’re home and on the mend. Look after yourself, and welcome back
Thanks again
That’s the confirmed cases. Given the number of mild to asymptotic cases of this virus it’s safe to assume that actual figure is at least x4 times. That would make it around 5M a week, crazy. Herd immunity should come before the full scale vaccine rollout for the US.
