    You cant stamp it our but you can control/slow it down.
    If the virus is allowed to build to overwhelm HealthCare and the economy suffers as well as death rate /people sweden has proved that already.

    So travel bans from hotspots, quarantine are all good ideas and used successfully in countries where they have the virus under control.

    And their economies are doing well as well.

    Its a fine balance, between travel ban from hotspots, quarantine, and life as usual.. too extreme either way and countries are in trouble.

    And for how many years do you think any country can keep this sort of keeping-a-lid-on-it up?

    He's a You Tube vlogger the channel is called Bald and Bankrupt. It's quite interesting, he spends a lot of time in Russia with Vodkaholics in remote areas, can speak the lingo and I enjoyed it during lock down anyway.

    Yeah pretty good, alot of good vids in India he speaks that too (or one of it's many) ....

    watched one recently he smuggles a kitten out of Cuba to Belarus with some bird........not sure if it was much of a step up for kitty :rolleyes:

    Well if the staff aren't wearing them and they are in the store for what, 8 hours at a time(?) and aren't getting infected en mass, then it probably doesn't matter how many customers do or don't wear masks.

    Pretty crazy that it hasn’t been asked to be honest. I wonder would they take a question on twitter......

    Silly statement.

    Are you privy to how many staff in the supermarket have gotten infected, how much time they spend out on the shop floor, are they behind plastic?

    How about the health of the customers or their habits, do you know that to?

    In my local shop earlier, 20 odd in the shop, not a mask in sight. Elsewhere I've been it's very mixed and perhaps more than the early days but generally quite a minority.

    How serious was/is Kazakhstan taking c19? They are saying a deadlier virus than c19 but maybe it’s c19 not taken seriously (no SD nonlockdown lack of hygiene etc) mixed with an older demographic or something.

    Or not spreading it. If it's spreading as easy as some people say in a supermarket there would be more community cases (couldn't all be asymptomatic) and cases would not have plummeted.

    Have a little faith in science. They will figure it out vaccine/treatment.

    I think that this is covid, possibly faulty test kits.

    It's advisory not mandatory. Many people judge they don't have a need for one.

    Yeah I mean, what are the odds of another mysterious deadly pneumonia emerging just while the world is already in the middle of a pandemic? Very slim. But if it is some other new thing, well we're all fooked.
