Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I've realised through this how shit Asda and Sainsbury's are compared to booths. Yes the latter is a smaller business and is a bit more expensive but their shelves are always completely full and the quality of their food is much higher. Booths is closer to me than the others but, until lately, it's not somewhere I've ever shopped too often apart from when buying their hot food on my dinners at work. The quality of fanny who go shopping in there is higher too. Edited April 8, 2020 by Carnivore Chris 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make all toilet paper nowadays with this crisis like army bog roll, it's felt like sandpaper when wiping your arse and rip your arse to threads and soon as the crisis is over with go back to normal bog roll where it is so soft your finger sticks through it and that goes up the back of your arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Nice to see Welsh Labour break ranks and extend the lockdown. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52215421 While it's inevitable that the lockdown will be extended regardless, this should be united between the four countries of the UK and not for political brownie points or 'to be the first and for others to follow suit' as they often try to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache 672 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) So the president in Peru has said that no one can leave the house under any circumstance today or tomorrow due to holidays. As a result, the ultra religious people flood the markets for fish. This has resulted in our cases rising by 2000 overnight. We've basically caught up to Ecuador now. Complete idiots.

Nah I was using a figure of speech. They were confirmed yesterday not over night I'm pretty sure. Seems strange that the cases rose so suddenly during a lockdown, but the discipline of the civilian is extremely low. In the poorer areas of the countries streets have been flooded more than once. Just this week it has been a bit over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted April 9, 2020 Administrator Share Posted April 9, 2020 That means that people who flooded the place yesterday were all tested between then and now. Is testing that quick and efficient in Peru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is testing that quick and efficient in Peru? Look above. It's not the first time this shit happens in some of the poorer districts. No discipline from the civilian. Maybe not during the week because of the fish market, if so I'm especially worried about next week or two. We have amongst the most testing kits in the continent (which surprised me when I learned about that). We are 4th behind Chile, Brazil and Colombia according to sources. I just find it weird that the cases rose so much overnight but it's more than likely due to those protest attempts in the poorer districts the other week.

Yeah, I corrected myself later. I was wrong. Most likely because of similar reasons though. I looked into it a bit more and apparently people flood the markets at the start of every week in order to have enough for the week. Results in things like this.

Things were looking OK up to yesterday. Mate the count of confirmed cases is a lagging indicator. A person who was exposed to corona today would not become a confirmed case for around 12 days. I.e no symptoms for around 5 days. 3-5 to get sick enough to seek out a test and 2 days minimum for a test result. So basically that means the current official/confirmed count reflects the number of people who had the virus around 12 days ago. But the actually number of people affected right now is higher than that, by 12 days of additional spread. Better indicators of how countries are going is by looking at whether that country even has a true handle on the size of their outbreak. Indicators of that are the number of tests performed per million people, and the percentage of those tests that are coming up positive. In Peru theres been 39k tests performed, for 4k cases. So you have about a 10% positive rate. Ecuador have run 13k tests for 4k cases. That's a 30% positive rate. Very high, and a stronger indicator that the 4k count of confirmed cases is just the tip of the iceberg in Ecuador. In some places that positive test rate is much lower (like Australia, or South Korea who have run a high number of tests and are around 1.8% positive. Those countries can be more confident that their number of confirmed cases is fairly accurate. I would guess that even if Ecuador have the same number of confirmed cases as Peru by the end of this Ecuador will still have more fatalities and it will be less due to their healthcare system quality and more due to them having a larger outbreak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
