We are going through the half term stage hereUnfortunately there's enough people not taking this seriously to still cause a vast spread. Now kids are off school, more people are likely to be out and about too acting like it's a half term.
Well, if this is a war-like type of crisis, the world leaders need to make the harsh decisions. I know people think they can save everyone, but if you put the future in more danger with severe actions in the present time, it's just not right and will cause more suffering.It might well be the case. In any way, I do not see the entire world keeping those constraints. Some countries will get herd immunity (most of Africa for example, who cannot afford lockdowns, but at the same time have a very young population which is relatively not vulnerable), those that can will wait for a vaccine. But yes, one way or another it is gonna be bad. Easily, the most negative thing that happened to the world since WW2.
So what's todays news? Pretty much same as yesterday, no lockdown, just advising people not to gather?
It has to be enforced with police checkpoints and proper penalties. A minority will never do what they've been asked to do, so you have to make it a crime to break the restrictions. You can't rely on people being public-spirited, because there are enough selfish people to undo all the good work.Unfortunately there's enough people not taking this seriously to still cause a vast spread.

They've upgraded "wash your hands" to "use your elbows to open doors at the pub.So what's todays news? Pretty much same as yesterday, no lockdown, just advising people not to gather?
All my Mum's social circle are going on as normal. Line dancing, pubs, having coffees, planning to see families for Mother's Day. My mother is giving me shit for keeping her in. I'm fighting a losing battle.
fecking Boris the shitc*nt isn't messaging firmly enough and it's going to be a disaster if we follow the Italy numbers.
Social media posts from doctors and front line medical staff in Bangladesh points to a very big cover up of deaths... I think south Asia is fecked.
Use the tv from the bathroom or kitchen instead.How am I expected to enjoy 4k quality programs
I think Boris’s 3 month thing is him banking on a slow down in the summer, 3 months from now will be mid-June
Which TV in my bathroom? I have six.Use the tv from the bathroom or kitchen instead.
Netflix are reducing their streaming quality apparently. Will I pay less for it? Of course not. This is unacceptable. How am I expected to enjoy 4k quality programs if they're being streamed in standard definition and I'm still paying the extra money?
The oldest one will work.Which TV in my bathroom? I have six.
The point of the visual is the WHO seriously messed up in the early stages.
This is where shit can be thrown at the Tories as their governments have cut policing to the bone. It’s a real worry if things get nasty.It has to be enforced with police checkpoints and proper penalties. A minority will never do what they've been asked to do, so you have to make it a crime to break the restrictions. You can't rely on people being public-spirited, because there are enough selfish people to undo all the good work.
No, couldn't find the original tweet.Is the twitter you embedded (which is stupid) related to the response you've given (which I agree)?
WHO did feck up, but that was predictable. However, the #chinalied etc is bullshit.No, couldn't find the original tweet.
I saw this earlier which prompted my post:
I don’t think my mind can contemplate the consequences of an all-out outbreak in South Asia.
Here you go.Does anyone have stats regarding seasonal flu deaths in Italy in a regular flu season? Wondering how those numbers compare with the current covid-19 numbers.
I won't trust a single thing coming out of China, all they've done is obfuscate, deny, spread disinformation and suppress health professionals.
They could be piling people into mass graves as they release these reports.

Oh wait, shite, yeah there's an actual virus

I actually find it amazing that when they're reporting the new numbers they don't say how many there are for a single day, they just give you the running total. Dunno why I find it so odd.
It gets much harderWhoever suggested to download and play Plague Inc. Well I did and wiped out the world on my first play through so is it worth buying full game or is that it. As in, completed it mate?
Totally man. I mean, one minute your episode of Paw Patrol is streaming at 1080p and the next minute Chase looks like a fecking willy in a Japanese porno.This annoys me to be honest, anyone not really keeping up, or like me anyone with information overload who doesn't remember the previous days figure, won't really see the significance each day.
Depends, you probably played with the bacteria plague which is the easiest. There are virus, fungus, parasite, worm, prion etc, all with different characteristics. I'm stuck on the fungal one at the moment. It passes the time for sure, I like it.Whoever suggested to download and play Plague Inc.

They've done a lot more. They've published publicly available scientific papers, shared data with the WHO, and discussed treatment strategies that other countries seem to be taking into account.
It must be hard when no one's paying attention to you anymore.
