Other generations did things like bring Hitler to his knees with great sacrifice and all we are being asked to do is stay on our couch and talk on skype etc instead of in person. Of course it's doable ffs

100%

All we have to do is leave each other the fûck alone. In most circumstances it’s not difficult !

Think !....

‘I’m feeling a bit down and lonely, I’m a social person who thrives from being with people, family, friends, work colleagues...’

... you’ll be feeling plenty down and lonely if you and or your family, friends and work colleagues are lying on the flat of your back in a hospital bed or morgue, because that is the reality to people not respecting social distancing.

So if you are needy, lonely, needing attention, feeling a little sad, divorced from society, THAT is GREAT.... !!! They are great feelings, it means you are alive, adhering to social distancing for you and everyone so that we ALL stay well and alive. :rolleyes:

Cop the fûck on, be lonely or be dead.... social distancing keeps us alive, be disciplined, think of your country and EVERYONE in it , DISTANCE !!! BE VIGILANT !!!

Might be a sudden thing though, seemingly they have very changeable weather...

Why are people assuming heat will kill this? It’s a new disease so anything can go with it

It's a hold-over from everyone comparing it to the flu, and the reduction of flu cases that we see in late Spring/Summer. Given that much warmer climates than ours are experiencing big problems with it at present, it's highly unlikely that a couple of weeks of good weather will see everything return to normal.

But...Public health care is socialism, dontcha know.

If you get it and recover would that mean your immune from it now so you won't get it again? I'm asking cause I had what I believe might have been it back in November. Symptoms were very similar to what seems to be covid19.

Also one of my friends was saying a hot drink in your mouth can kill it? Not sure if true but I'm drinking about 10 cups of tea a day at the moment... Ha ha

Imagine the kind of thinking that goes into the logic that if you had a flu or cold in the last 4 months that was debilitating then it could only have been covid-19

If it goes back that far that means our ICU's were completely overrun with many dying around Christmas time, yet it wasn't reported on.
Also it was just a coincidence that a strain of influenza(typical winter increase in influenza) was identified to be spreading in Ireland around that time.

quoting this from last night...

I've posted about this before in one or two of these threads, and I don't think it's possible that it was here before mid-Jan for several different reasons.


1) The reports of flu-like illness (red lines below) correlated perfectly with detected influenza viruses (bars) over the flu season, just like previous years.
It's only in the last two weeks that flu symptoms are increasing while detected flu is decreasing (circled).



2) There are now over a thousand complete viral genome sequences from patients all over the world, all showing mutations that pick up over time.
Tracking back computationally to find the common ancestor of all of them shows that it's genomes from China, including Wuhan, that are at the origin of everything, and that the origin dates to ~Nov-Dec 2019.
The sequences from the US, from Europe, from Australia etc all radiate out from that origin.

3) The pathology is different - doctors in China got very good at detecting COVID-19 using CT scans, and there are quite distinct cellular features seen on autopsy. These were not noted in Dec & Jan here.
