Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

It's been reported that they 1) wouldn't admit new contaminated people in hospitals and more importantly 2) have been cremating infected or suspected to be infected people ever since they discovered 2nd wave.

So yeah, they're not keeping track, they have never been. But hey, medias have been spamming those stats so much that they're official, does it really matter whether they are lying or not?

I mean, even here in France we are facing fake stats when it comes to chloroquine hydrochloride (because someone at the government whose husband is important in the health world pretty much *** us to allow him to earn more money, and so on). And despite said fake stats, they still backpedal to allow the use to treat people.

At this point, I wouldn't take ANY stat being released seriously.

What!! I don't even see anything going on, but I've been home for ages now.

The CCP must pay for this, one way or another.

The world will never move on until they are held responsible for the disaster they willingly inflicted on the world all to save Xi some face. I have massive respect for the doctors and good citizens of China who put ***on the line in trying to alert the world before they were 'disappeared'.

Has anyone ever audit those tests?

I mean, auditing if a death is correctly related to covid, auditing if the test can actually diferentiate between a common flu and covid death?

Its not hard to use statistics to prove a point, but its very hard giving proper information out of those numbers. Plus i always wondered what those kits actually have, if this technology is easily reproduced in other countries

if we get coronavirus reparations/stimulus, would it be distasteful to spend it on Chinese RMT gil?

I loled.
No, it wouldn't because you would be facilitating the gil farmers' social isolation, thus contributing towards the efforts of stopping the spread of the disease.

RMT away.

Yes. you don't want to know.
One test kit, one of the rapid variation ones, proved to be able to detect the virus 40% of the time.

The only ones I know of that are accurate enough are the swab and PCR tests.
They look for the DNA.

40% like 60% a mix of false positive and negative?

It's not worth risking the lives of immune-compromised and the elderly. Lives are still at risk here, let the lockdown continue until the health services can get on top of it rather than be overwhelmed.

Singapore and South Korea are almost on top of it and they achieved such through not taking brazen risks. It's best to follow from example, especially when lives are on the line.

Also, this is from that link.

It seems the Conservatives are doing the right thing and indeed going off the example set by others, lockdown until this is under control.

The thing is immune compromised people will die from many disease other than covid, but with an important factor to be analyzed:

Covid have been reported every single minute on tv, press, whatssap. People are being forced to use quarentine methods to prevent at every cost to contract the disease. But despite all that, humans are humans and cant work at efficiency of 100% isolation. They eventually will contact virus either by delivery food, going to supermarket, even from the window if the virus can spread through air. So eventually the weak people will get in contact with covid.

But here is the thing: contracting something that you expend all resource to prevent is a brutal psychological defeat. This feeling of frustration plus the fear of the mortality of covid makes a lot worse for people already weak in their head to react and recover from disease.

You cant ignore psychological effect in the diseased people recover. And fear just make then more susceptible.

There is a line where the information is necessary and when its excessive. Its pretty clear we crossed long ago the line where the information given was just the necessary one.

Why saying "the flu kills more each year" is disingenuous at best.

Yeah....that little subtle problem with the way the CDC records flu deaths differently than ANY OTHER DISEASE was pointed out to him many pages ago, and he didn't care then either.

Yeah, but I honestly can't tell if he's this incredibly piss-ignorant, trolling really hard out of sheer boredom, or just took a hardlined stance and threw all in and can't see a way out.

Coronavirus: Boris Johnson tests positive for COVID-19

My company laid off 3 of 4 managers this week and didnt give the remaining 5 employees any instruction or information leaving us to figure it out for ourselves. This has been a rough week to say the least since we're an environmental machinery dealer that deals heavily with sanitation and construction. We have municipalities trying to stay ahead of the situation and this move has not only made it difficult on us but our customers as well.

Not everyone shot with a gun dies, does that mean we should all just not worry about walking through a war zone?

Are you this pigheaded IRL? For the sake of those around you, I sure hope not.

The death rate may be "tiny", but death isn't the only bad experience. A significant chunk of people are being hospitalized, with a good percentage needing a ventilator to breathe. That's not a pleasant experience. Sure, there are "only" 25k deaths as per this website I'm googling, so far, but there are reports that some people permanently lose 20-30% of their lung capacity from the illness, because it *** you up. It's not a *** mild flu everyone can just drug up and shrug off.

You're acting like it's nothing, but there are people dying, and hospitals are over capacity in many major metropolis', that's not nothing.

Now put everybody in your town in the middle of the road at once. Even if only a tiny fraction get hit by vehicles, it will quickly overwhelm the health system's ability to process the injured and it will lead to (many) preventable deaths/maimings.

This virus currently has no treatment or cure, so there's no 'getting out of the street' unless you stay home. It's really not that complicated, but apparently some people can't put 1 + 1 together.
