Apparently some Swedes are not happy with where they are now. It seems they have a pretty low population density (certainly incomparable to the few nations ahead in per capita death rate) and their economy has been affected like everywhere else. There may be an issue with their reporting in care homes and they are seeing a second spike sooner that may be a little steeper than others.

Have they got a thick as pig shit Prime Minister with an advisor who can do whatever he likes as well? I thought the UK had bagsys on that.

While we all need to be sensible in the coming weeks, but I reckon this is on it's way out. All the numbers of infection and death rates are heading the right way, even in countries where lockdown has been released, there has been no evidence of a growth in transmission, admission and deaths. It's going the same way MERS and SARS went, and I think it will be quite accelerated in the coming week. My money is now on pints in July!

booo

I actually enjoy a neg off him nowadays. I can't even see the absolute dross he's posting, and he can't bother me at all, but I am obviously bothering him.

 

I'll post a picture of myself having a pint at a pub in July just especially for him to neg. 

 

He wants this to be worse. He's desperate for it to be worse. It's a really fucking weird position to take,

You're comparing these diseases to Coronavirus? They infected less than 10000 people globally each didn't they?

I've had sky news on in the background today. It's quite refreshing how balanced it is compared to the BBC. That's not to say they're just slaughtering the government. They've had plenty of melts who seem to think there's nothing to see here and it's all the media's fault. But they're not letting these pricks say stuff unchallenged like a party political broadcast. I never thought I'd see the day sky was a more respectable source of news than the BBC

They are Coronavirus, so I think the comparison is valid, although the scale is vastly different.

I've jibbed the news in the background and had Radio 2 on all day. Arguably the best decision I have ever made.

I'm not telling the full story there. Although they could be mutating for the weaker, as SARS and MERS did, I think something different might be at play here. I think that a combination of T Cell responses offering immunity, and cross immunity from other less serious Coronavirus have combined to offer a high level of herd immunity. Maybe it is a combination of those two reasons. I don't know, but looking at the numbers and charts, it seems like it is fading and as R goes down, the speed of that fade becomes exponential.

They're completely different and less infectious. It's why it was madness when people were saying "everyone who got SARS will be protected". Yeah, all 10000 of them nice one. 

SARS was more infectious, it was just a bit too good at quickly killing it's hosts. The cross immunity they think comes from some form of the common cold, or an unidentified Coronavirus, although the small amount of people who survived SARS and MERS may also have immunity from that.

Infections are going up in Virginia and Florida, for those who like facts and not sci-fi.

Obviously this would then be complemented by the high number of people infected with Covid-19, and surviving it.
