SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
Made the mistake of reading accounts of healthy people who caught it and are not looking good. Now I'm terrified again.
You’ll be fine, just try not to go out. If you do have to, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds at every single opportunity. Don’t touch your face. No kissing. No shagging. No wanking as your cock could be infected with corona.
You get caught up so much in all the death and tragedy, it's so easy to forget the real victims here. All those poor celebrities that nobody's paying attention to anymore...
Wank with a condom on
We were too busy thinking about whether Liverpool would be awarded the title that we forgot the real victims in all of this.
If you go out anywhere, treat every single person anywhere near you as if they have it.
Wear gloves and cover your face. I use mountain biking gloves and a scarf.
Then for maximum effect, cough into your elbow every couple of minutes.
I've had no issues with anyone invading my space.
Why do people on here seem to be trying to outdo each other in terms of doom and gloom or scaremongering? This negativity isn't helping anyone. How about some positivity?
That'll be mighty helpful. You know the address@Ish let me know if I need to send you an express package with some Belgian ones
Queues for groceries and liquor were crazy this morning. Don't think anyone thought alcohol and cigs were going to be banned. Government sort of "contained" the panic a bit by not disclosing their entire plan. initially it was thought restaurants would remain open - but you could only do takeaways....now all restaurants are closed. Outside of essential services, we can only leave the house for essential goods - groceries, medical supplies or emergencies and the collection of social grants. Can't even jog outside or take our dogs for walks.
this is one way to flatten the curve.
Anything to stay in the limelight. How dare a little flu virus interrupt their followers.
It definitely makes me feel so much better that these naturally beautiful people are sharing pictures of their natural beauty while I'm sitting here overweight, pale and in need of a haircut and a shave in my 3 year old joggers and worn out hoodie.
The cases exist, but they are still rare. Especially the ones leading to death(practically non-existent).
In Norway, roughly 10% of confirmed cases end up in the hospital. The actual number of infected getting hospitalized is therefore probably somewhere between 2-5%. Let's say 4% to not be overly positive. Among the hospitalized, roughly 5% have died. All of them have been old or had an underlying condition. The number is expected to rise, but not dramatically as long as there are enough ventilators.
TLDR: the death rate is probably around 0.2% - 0.3%. If you're young and healthy it's significantly lower. The biggest worry is the number of ventilators and available medical staff.
James Dyson, a Brexit supporter, is a Conservative Party member and donor. Enough said.
UK?
What about every other country in the world? Tell me one were strict measures weren't imposed relatively early and things are under control? Portugal started doing it when we had about about 10 cases, people have been mostly home for the past two weeks and still our hospitals are being overwhelmed. Granted our spare capacity is probably smaller than a wealthier country like Sweden, but still.
There are two types of countries in the world. The ones that acted quickly (all in Asia) and the ones that didn't.
A bunch of leaders and health authorities experimenting "and modelling" with death at their door. If the world returns to normal they should all stand to be trialed.
Not being funny John, but I think you might want to wash it a bit more often.
Hi Trump.
As long as you bleach your cock before and after you'll be fine
I think it's impossible for the statistics to be anywhere near accurate. According to local news we've had three coronavirus linked deaths in our nearby hospital. According to national statistics, there have been zero coronavirus related deaths locally. So who is right? Is it a case of Chinese whispers (absolutely no pun intended!) and a random death from pneumonia (for instance) being recorded as a death from coronavirus locally, or are the government statistics not picking up all the figures from smaller, out of the way locations. We'll never know, but in any case it's easy to see why it's impossible to report this with any accuracy.
So are the UK figures for the next while less than useless, in terms of trying to gauge where we might be in all this? do we have to start from scratch, plotting with the new methodology? And was the somewhat potentially promising drop in deaths yesterday a false reading?
I'm trying to contain the cynicism as much as possible but it's getting harder to do.

And the cover up begins. You don't need consent to release death 'figures' ffs. Why do these 'journalists' have to parrot such bullshit?
People forgetting that South Korea never locked down. A solution for one country is not simply the solution for the next.
It makes sense if you want to fudge the numbers to make your country look better.
Well, my oldest son has volunteered for the NHS.
Let's hope he doesn't find a way to smoke weed through one of those ventilators.

Gordon Brown giving the world financial advice.
I like how they describe him as "The former Labour prime minister, who was at the centre of the international efforts to tackle the impact of the near-meltdown of the banks in 2008" ....
and not "the man who abdicated control to the (useless) FSA and who has since admitted (and apologised for) that as Chancellor, he didn't understand the intricacies of how global financing was interlinked".
I don't think I trust any politician but GB (the man whose job was to control UK banks and understand the economy) would be down my list

Even without the change in methodology, yesterdays figures would have been slightly inaccurate as they weren't for a full 24 hours. The previous day they recorded deaths up until 1pm, yesterday only up until 9am
0.2%-0.3%? I don't think that's even remotely true. The last time I checked it was 1.42% in South Korea who have been testing religiously - and that's actually one of the lowest death rates (if not the lowest) of any country with significant number of cases.
Why is that newsworthy? It reads like they've uncovered some well hidden secret. It says on the bloody spec document they will need to be approved first.
I'll go semi positive but that's all I have. There are many ongoing clinical trials some of which will surely alleviate conditions.
I've looked at 30 of the 150+ so far and most look like the typical throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks but a few give me hope.
Presumably any deaths 'missed' one day would eventually get captured at a later date so overall, curve should remain broadly reflective?
You clearly missed the celebrities’ heart-warning rendition of Imagine.
I did wonder what all those yellow spots were...
because it comes the same day that the government refuse an invite to buy ventilators that ARE already approved, via the EU.
Celebs (or their PR advisors) and especially well off celebs are out of touch.
The best thing they could do would be to donate money to a worthwhile charity...
They were able to keep ahead of testing and forcibly quarantine anybody who had it or was in contact with anybody who had it. They also knew exactly where it started and were able to follow the path from there. Both things that Europe never had the opportunity to do.
No, again your speaking in absolute terms. The area of Stockholm has many times the population density of Lombardy and has a similar proportion of olds. The only advantages Stockholm has is a smaller family unit and a less touchy feely culture - nothing to do with overall size of population at all. The disaster that befell Lombardy could well happen to Stockholm if it's not properly managed (I'm not saying it isn't). I have no problem with Sweden following its own protocols and it will most probably avoid such a terrible scenario but not for any of the population based reasons you've put forward.
True but their social distancing was/is excellent.
You just need whatever you do, to be done brilliantly.
