That’s a bit too much fucking around with social distancing during a pandemic to make me think “ah yeah, America’s about to turn things around.” I agree. I think even if past the ultimate peak America will likely have the longest tail of annoyingly high case load, and a really high proportion of deaths and cases per capita compared to other major powers (assuming a vaccine can be developed). Killing it off is all about that R_effective figure... Getting it below 1 requires not only significant distancing measures but a very high uptake throughout the population of people who adhere to it. If America has a more mobilised bunch of sceptics through the likes of Fox News it may shave 10% off the uptake which would have big consequences on the curve trajectory.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Well this may be the best excuse coming from the Welsh Government explaining why they have missed their target of 5,000 tests a day by mid April and then outright ditching a target. According to our Health Minister Vaughan Gething, he said that 'the coronavirus has spread less than expected when the target was announced, saying that the viruses circulation in Wales was expected to be much higher', as well as 'external factors' like the delay of equipment contributing to the decision to ditching test targets. Finally, in what can only be the best excuse made from all this. Let's remind ourselves that despite the social distancing measures in place, which in itself should be positive seeing as that's what we're following in Wales, the UK government are being heavily criticised for not testing enough and not hitting their own targets. If we get hit with a second wave, we will be well and truly fucked by the Welsh Labour Government.

Actually both isn't a good indicator, since the difference of inhabitants of the USA and the inhabitants of Belize is that immense that comparing death count is downright idiotic.

MUFC 1,495 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Since this epidemic started, which lesson or lessons have you learnt? For me the most obvious is how selfish the human race is. When told to follow orders for the sake of yourself and others. So many have chosen to ignore. I've seen people congregating on the streets in groups, greeting via hugging and shaking hands and spitting. If people can't do it for themselves then they should be thinking of others. It isn't just teenagers either, is people of all age groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Gates has openly admitted that vaccinations are designed so that governments can depopulate the world Mate I'm not sure how serious you are with all this. Covid is way worse than the flu. Some undisputed facts. Tell me if you disagree with any of these. Covid spreads way faster than normal flu. It's new so there's no immunity, meaning it will spread to more people than the flu. A death rate is not a fixed number. It will depend how many of the hospitalised can get treatment. We haven't seen the worst that can happen to one city because every place with a significant outbreak shuts down to stop the spread. It's killed 20k people in NY, population 19m. If the death rate was really 0.1% every person in the state would need to have Covid. And would require 100% of active cases to recover with no further deaths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
