Fluter you are in lad - double your bet.

 

Wait this is a proper wager right? With money - to a charity? Can anyone pony up for a piece?

 

1) Define Location - Duh Wirld

2) Set Criteria - The virus would have to be controlled and transmission brought down to a very low level. That would be the end of the first wave. 

3) Identify timeline - 12 months (go for 6 if you can)

This is not that likely to happen,

Is there any chance you could keep this to yourself until the wagering has been completed?

I'd give money to a charity either way. This isn't a bet though. I hope it's right that this thing doesn't strike again in the UK. Unfortunately in other countries it seems way less under control.

 

What I will say is if it stays under control and the UK stays safe (making stronts theory a bit more valid) I will personally say that he was right (this is only from me) and I will donate a minimum of £75 to a good cause of the forum's choosing.

 

If it goes a bit second wavey I will donate a minimum of £75 to the NHS.

 

If anyone else wants to get all donatey, that's all the better. Even a fiver, doesn't matter.

Jebus Fluter, you are evidently more solvent than me, but I can stick a tenner in for a good cause regardless of how things turn out.

Nice mate -- I will match you on that - you pick the charity. In fact I will let you choose either side of the wager.

 

As a global citizen (and I know you are as well) here it is.

 

This world will not accomplish even this (your 1st wave end) :

 

The virus would have to be controlled and transmission brought down to a very low level. That would be the end of the first wave. 

 

Before the end of this year.

 

Keep in mind that will be over 1 mil folks dead. Best case.

Let's do it, more the merrier and raise money for a good cause. I'll need to give thought to details. I can pm you with suggestions or keep it open here?

Posting this as I found it interesting. 
 

 

 

Here is what he had to say about the thread SD posted.

I'm not handling any coin. @Stront19m Dog™can pick a charity or go fund me - they will have the ability to process the dough.

 

There are no details - you could do a poll:

 

Will the worldwide response to Covid meet this condition Feb 28 2021  ---   Yes   ---    No

Ok, misunderstood before. I'll look at a poll tomorrow and explore how funds can be best processed.

Don't put yourself out yet pal - Stronts will name the charity.

 

Been searching for ways to donate to under qualified Ophthalmologists myself. It may take awhile.

Daily reported deaths back above 100 for the UK ?

Where did you get these figures?

 

I note that the urgent PHE inquiry has now been going on for about 25 days.

[Spy Bee]

Looks like the findings will be out any time now

 

Due to the method of counting, patients who test positive for coronavirus, but are successfully treated, are still being counted as dying from the virus, meaning the count is 'exaggerated' by thousands

I didn't. I wasn't claiming they were current figures.

Oh I see, this was setting the parameters of the bet.

The test positive rate has risen slightly - to 0.61% - from 0.60% this time last week. The WHO say anything under 5% means that the virus is under control.

Back down to 0.58% on the rolling average now.

I'm in France at the minute. Where I am covid is practically none existent but I'm looking at possible quarantine when I get back to the UK as parts of France, namely Paris and parts of the Rhone Valley, are pretty bad. 

 

Everyone's wearing a mask indoors but a lot of people don't put it over their nose making it ineffective.

All these people hating Sikora, why? He was initially accused of being a government shill, but is now highly critical of the government. While I disagree with his views on the NHS, his commentary on the pandemic has been pretty good on the whole.

 

He was one of the first people to talk about T Cell Immunity, and I just find him to have offered a very balanced view throughout.

 

The none Covid deaths which will be caused by the extended lockdown, will surely dwarf the actual Covid death's in the long term.

It’s back in New Zealand. Family of 4, don’t know where they’ve contracted it, no overseas travel.

That suggests food/drink. Edit: Thinking about it, could be hundreds of reasons.

According to CNN, the Russians have registered a vaccine. We're all saved.

 

And it must be ok, because Putin's daughter has had it. Although oddly, not himself.

He's probably got it. That and about 7000 other diseases and they just have no effect on him whatsoever. Mans a machine.

Sorry if already posted. The awful price people pay.

Maybe they contracted it from all that patting themselves on the back.

Hmmm, curious.

I'm thinking this too - specifically kiwis!

 

I would suspect that they have got it from someone who has had it asymptomatically, but who knows?
