Can’t watch much more of Trumps “briefings”. I feel my IQ taking a pounding as he talks absolute donkey sh*t pellets in between more qualified people trying to communicate important information.

US has second highest numbers GLOBALLY now. On CNN

Ashleigh1986 · 26-03-2020 11:01PM

I wish so called experts would stop comparing us to Italy .
We will never get near the amount of cases / deaths that Italy has suffered.
Leo had said we can expect to have nearly 15,000 cases by the end of the month.
An expert on prime time is suggesting it will be closer to 5,000.
That's a massive DIFFERANCE .
Social distancing is obviously working .

Because he comes across as compassionate, calm and reassuring.

But Obama's strength was his eloquent speeches, his actions weren't as impressive sometimes.

I don't know how much better Obama would be on the ground, but he would at least give the impression he cared for the American people rather than not looking primarily concerned about the stock market.

No offence but no one in the real world gives a toss about eloquent speeches.

Trump's popularity proves this.

Anyway, America is a federal state. This has to be kept in mind when people here get excited about Trump.

I do worry about fomite transmission, and also think it's being disregarded.

Re the disinfecting streets...it's the why I'm wondering about. Can understand hand level stuff...rails, statues, benches etc but the actual pavement, tarmac, grass...like you say I'm sure the levels are low...could it be more than optics?

Some countries just deliberately go overboard on the cleaning and sanitising... just the same way they all go around with face masks on. Because it might make a tiny % difference in fighting this thing, so they give it a shot... why the hell not? Nothing to lose, everything to gain!

While many over here probably laugh and scoff at millions wearing face masks! :rolleyes:

Aerosol transmission is far more significant, according to experts, than surface transmission... so I would hazard a guess, and say the face masks have a bigger impact than sanitizing the streets... but they do it all anyway!

Any we should be doing it all too... we should be throwing the kitchen sink at this thing. But we're not!

I think that will hopefully form a significant part of our solution. Mass testing , including mass testing for people who have immunity. If the virus keeps hitting in waves we will prob see staggered lock downs over the coming months.

My major concern beyond the obvious about this pandemic is when it gets worse in certain regions, moronic hotheads like Trump could kick off an actual war.

I thought about this about a week ago.
Not trying to exasperate the virus situation, but if "things" are not managed correctly politically, this current worldwide pandemic would be the least of our worries. Recriminations have a way of spiraling out of control ......

Let's hope that the leaders of the nuclear arsenals keep a measured attitude during these challenging times.

Manach · 26-03-2020 11:04PM

To all the newly minted expert pandemic experts, at least Trump had the political will to impose a travel ban to limit exposure in the early days to travelers from China. This at least slowed the spread and bought some time.

Give over will you.

Easy enough to go for a walk in this country and say at least 2 metres away from somebody.

I go to a forest and if the path is narrow and someone is approaching I move way in to the side to let them pass.

Well I live in Dublin and we have the highest number of infections, ICU admissions and deaths per capita thanks to selfish tossers who think they have the God-given right to go outside and infect people.

If you are damn sure that you are the only person outside for one mile, fine. But if you are living in an urban area, stay at home.

Ah. Time for some more seemingly very precise explanations about stuff that went wrong in the past, with predictions about the future woolly enough to cover almost all possible outcomes.

They should get a tarot card reader as well, for balance.

Essentially the South Korean model.

They're chasing the virus around and aggressively directing resources to where it's popping up. A giant game of whack-a-mole on a national level, but they're economy has been functioning and haven't had to enter a lockdown per say.

Convincing westerners to wear masks as they go about their daily business isn't very likely however.
