If you are not in your country of residence, where a citizen or permanent resident you should get home asap.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Yes it sure helps. If you can test people with mild symptoms they might be more inclined to stay home, keep from others if they know they have covid 19 and not a common cold or whatever.
They don’t like classical music actually. A farmer near where I grew up had the old barn where bats liked to live.
He put a radio in there with Classic FM on to drive them away. In the UK they’re a protected species so if they start living in your roof it’s illegal to dispose of them, you have to let them live in there. He later sold the barn for development. It was pretty eerie walking past the barn on those dark foggy nights with no one around with only classical music playing, especially before I knew the reason for it.
Am in Thailand. That is now also my only and sole concern.
24,981 deaths from the flu in one year?
Absolute dickheads
Didn't they restrict incoming visitors very early on, partnered with extremely aggressive testing/tracing/quarantine?
Their approach so far has negated the need for lock down.
It's too late for that in other countries.
Thanks for the input. Why do you suggest that?
Ich glaube nicht!
Countries are stopping to test aggressively, most realize that it is too late. Some countries just lack those tests. Take a look at Russia, the growth in new cases is horrifying and eastern part of the country is full of Chinese citizens. Crazy times.
If you've got the funds I'd defo stay there, worse places to be trapped. I went there a few years ago and cannot imagine the strip being quiet- my first night there I saw two ladyboys having a massive bust up.
Did I miss his answer or did Boris just ignore the question about school closures ?
We had 28k in England a few years ago
We are not testing at all. Probably only seriously ill patients.
Experts think our infections are 10 to 20 times higher than the actual numbers (8k+).
Our death rate seems fake to me, i think our first death was a few days ago, which seemed unrealistic to me already.
First person in Cologne died to coronavirus today.
Maybe I'm being unfair because addressing the nation probably doesn't come under the job description, but I don't know if it's a good look for the CMO to look incompetent even though he was sharing a stage with Johnson.
Just said they monitoring the situation closely. Didn't elaborate any further.
135k in last two weeks, don't know the total but this way more than France Spain UK.
They did, but also they have a top class health service, people are looking at infection rates which really now are pointless as we dont really know how much testing is going on. Germany also doing well while infection rates are higher their death rate is low and crtically ill is low. This is what we need to emulate now.
If you become unwell you may not be allowed to fly out of the country you are in.
Thanks, they have to come up with some sort of plan.
Yeah @sammsky1 get out and home as soon as you can mate.

Some Italian virologist speculated that there’s a difference in postmortem classification e.g. not classing people with comorbidities as having died from it or something.
Germany is NOT doing well. Only yesterday it felt as if 1/4 of my town was out in the park enjoying the sunshine. Germany is seriously late in doing anything about this - we even had local elections all over Bavaria on Sunday. Madness. They are either not testing or not reporting.
I think it's pretty late for that.
I'm at a place called Soi TaiEd, which is now basically the worlds fitness 'Mecca'. Its a 1km long road/village which has 8 mega gyms catering to all fitness sports ranging from MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, cross fit, HIIT, weightloss boot camps etc, supported by loads of healthy eating restaurants, sports/non dodgy massage houses and cheapish accommodation. Place is full of like minded people: want to get fit through to elite fighters getting ready to become professional.
Its bliss for me right now: I do cross fit and powerlifting: workout 2 or 3 times a day, great food, new people all with common interests. Beach is 10 min ride away. Sin Street 25 mins away, if that floats your boat!
Coming back to UK sounds like nightmare!!

Boris has fecked you over in GB.
Lack of action last week looks like such a bad move now

Jeremy Hunt on Sky News is utterly shameless lecturing on the NHS.
Fair and very valid points. Thanks for honest objectivity.
My parent are still on their month long Australia trip.
I dont think they have any intention coming back at the present time.
They're staying with family and seem to be having a fabulous time.

Stay there if you’ve got the cash, sounds like heaven
Pretty much everyone I work with who has kids (manchester) is saying their schools have closed today. Might not be a government instruction but looks like most schools are making the decision themselves.
If thats true its worring but would they really cover up reason for death?
Just be careful in airports, try to find gloves and masks and touch nothing unnecessarry. Also be a bit more paranoid and think about often washing your hands during your travel.
On the bright side, if you've been eating American take away every day since you moved there, you'll probably die of something else before the virus gets you.
Sister in law's daughter's has as well. Bury.
R.I.P - far too young.
Any info on the person? Conditions existing etc?
Agree - it is essentially a 'Chinese Virus', thousands of people are dying because of it. They should accept responsibility.
And in UK, Patrick Vallance and Boris Nonsense and whoever else @TMDaines etc were telling us had this all planned out should also be accepting responsibility for the unnecessary deaths and illnesses their dithering idiocy has and will continue to cause.
Are these numbers defo legit?
I'm not sure I follow.
It's quite difficult to emulate a top class health service when you don't already have one.
I'm hopeful that one thing this pandemic will do is educate the world on the benefit of widespread vaccination. I get an annual flu shot but really didn't pay attention to how many died per year. We have to do better. Enough of the "I'm strong don't need it" mentality. We need to start protecting the herd.
Its loans
If he’s been eating chlorinated chicken he’s probably immune to everything
