    How you getting on now Ads? If I remember correctly your in China?

    I'm in Vietnam. Haven't worked in nine weeks, and we've just started our big lockdown now. Boredom is definitely not an issue though as I've been flat out coding for my side-business.

    If you even had a Kleenex taped over your mouth, it would help stop someone with it spread it less. "Utterly useless" my hole.

    Ah the expert is here. Yeah you see a lot of doctors going around with Kleenex taped to their mouths.

    I’d rather not wear a mask than to have the likes of a dust mask or damp mask from wearing it all day, I’m not an expert like you but I’m willing to hazard a guess that’s not good for you.

    10% have died. It remains to be seen what the final figure will be, but I suspect that like the cured vs. dead figures, it won't be 50%.

    Just to be crystal clear on facts here the death rate is almost 50%

    That is a fact. It would not be stated in an official report if that was not the case.

    It is not mentioned in the report what stage the remaining patients are at but doctors are very concerned about issues surrounding the death rate and whether these people should be kept alive for as long as they are being kept "alive" through ventilators. There are moral and other issues surrounding that.

    We face are a very serious crisis and I don't see a way out at the moment. Even if you look at the Italian disaster - there is just a lid on that. Can't take the lid off. Now the country faces serious social disorder and others are going to follow.

    The most important thing is that this is managed as well as possible but also that China is nailed to the wall for what has happened.

    And they will be. This will never be allowed to happen again.

    The Guardian is The Observer btw.

    Surely the issue is not how effective it is in protecting you.
    Ask the questions:
    Can it Harm You?
    Can it Harm Others Around You?


    If the answer to either question is No why are people so apposed to it?

    I never claimed to be an expert. But I do trust the governments of countries that are used to masks and have enough of them more than the government of a country that isn't used to them and doesn't have enough of them.

    Believe what you want anyways. If you think masks or my extreme example of a Kleenex don't stop droplets exiting your mouth, while also talking about masks getting damp, there's not much I can do to convince you otherwise.

    What I see are people wearing them and gloves when shopping and then discarding them in carparks. Might that be harmful to others?

    South Korea reports 105 new cases and 8 new deaths.

    Singapore 70 new cases and 1 death. Only it's 3rd death.

    That is a fact. It would not be stated in an official report if that was not the case.

    Just to be crystal clear, the death rate at the moment, with 79% of ICU cases unresolved, is almost 50%.

    No one is disputing the facts of the report. I am however disputing the incorrect take away that it 50% of people in ICU with Covid-19 die. If the true death rate of patients in ICU is 25%, the death rate will trend towards that. If the true death rate is 50%, it will stay where it is. The initial figures will always be scary since it takes less time to die from it than to recover, meaning the initial ratio is artificially high.

    I can't find information on what the true rate might be. I certainly hope it's not 50%.

    If that was obama......It's a good video in fairness. Glad I'm not in New York though.

    It's a video of guns and flags. Propaganda nonsense. If North Korea was putting out videos like that while a virus was getting out of control there, they'd be laughed at.

    I have seen people arrive at a house in an estate at 5.30am. Basically known heavy drinkers arriving at another drinkers house. Maybe a total of 5 people in the house. Still there.

    Id imagine this will be a problem all over the country - the types that go to a bar on saturday night, drink on at the house after last orders then back to the bar as soon as it opens in the morning.

    Because masks are expensive. Masks also need to be changed a few times a day. Most of the masks you see people wearing out and about are utterly useless. I’ve even seen dust masks. I’ve seen people wear the same mask day after day. Pissing in the wind.

    Oh and while I’m at it, while the rest of the world was busy shipping in PROPER masks our fücktards in Dáil Éireann were shipping in Italians and thick cûnts that pissed off to Cheltenham for a week.

    Saw a fella who had a mask on his head, like wearing sunglasses. No doubt he wanted to reuse the mask but that's pointless if someone coughed behind you and the virus is now on your head and his mask sat on his head.

    Lets face it though America is going to infect us all over and over if they don't get a handle on it. If they let it take over ..

    The thing with americans they all want to return to work and just keep the elderly isolated. If their health insurance lapses their ****ed.

    Could be hit with an enormous bill of 100K if they do end up having to go to hospital.

    Then I don't care whether you or any one else associated with this site
    agrees or disagrees with me.

    Trump just said Johnson rang him asking for ventilators (before Trump could say a word according to Trump) :/

    Great time to have this thought, 3:30am

    What happens to all the nuclear reactors if there's nobody around to look after them?

    Actually, all the trees in the forest will fall. That sound may or may not be heard. I've researched this. I have even been to a lecture with the acknowledged world authority on this subject.

    He got a resounding round of applause from the audience. They all clapped with one one hand. All those that weren't there found it to be an extremely moving occasion.

    .

    That's the most important thing? :rolleyes:

    Btw, current Corona fatalities (including any cause of death at all in 90+ year olds where someone happened to have Covid-19 when they died) = 30k.

    Swine Flu fatalities = between 150k and 500k. Started in the good ole USA.

    Lay off the Trump propaganda.

    Death toll lags New Daily Infections.
    After we see new infections go down for maybe for a week of consecutive days, then expect to see the Death toll to follow.

    Sun ain't rising any time soon i'm afraid. Things globally are going to get a lot worse.

    I'd be hoping we could start lifting restrictions a little globally by July.

    I'm not not sure the population understands the gravity of what has happened and the consequences that are coming.

    Aer Lingus are on the way back from China, carrying badly needed PPE for our health workers.

    https://www.flightradar24.com/EIN9019/244a4bcd

    "One group of doctors say they have procured €6,000 worth of PPE themselves after losing patience with the HSE’s efforts to supply the equipment."

    :( I have never read an article about these meat markets. As a vegetarian for 35 years my eyes have always glazed over at those kinds of things and avoided them, eg PETA videos, slaughter videos from vegans or whatever, because I have never been or felt political about not eating meat, it was always just a personal choice and if people don't feel that way, then my attitude has been, "so what".
    But fcuk me pictures of cats and dogs in cages waiting to be sold, killed and eaten! It is truly grotesque. A pretty model nibbling a bat! Nausea-inducing. The very idea of all this is utterly grotesque and savage.

    Apparently these vile markets are back up and running. Ugh. I will have to resume normal function of choosing not to look at these kinds of images lest I devolve into a crazy misanthrope!

    Absolutely disgusting, bats ****ting and pissing on dogs, dogs in turn ****ting and pissing on cats, cats ****ting and pissing on ferrets, ferretts ****ting and pissing on racoons etc etc.

    **** sake and its still going on, no wonder disease is widespread.
