Bear in mind the demographics of those with it: 35% under 30, 63% female, 7% over 70. Their percentage of patients deceased is 0.6% with 97% of cases still unresolved.GIN1138 said:

The M&S I went to was out of loo paper and hand gel, everything else was fine.
At the pet food shop there was a special offer on bulk buying Felix, so I now have 48 days worth (for my cats, not me).0 -

Yet sometimes the damage done by the barrier is pretty bad too, and people get killed.IshmaelZ said:
His argument is exactly like this: You know those low bridges where they put a sacrificial bar the same height as the bridge a mile before you get to it so if you are overheight you break the bar and do a bit, but only a bit, of damage instead of a lot? That is lunacy! Lorry drivers are being turned back not by the bridge itself, but by the government overreacting to the bridge by putting the bar up.edmundintokyo said:
That's not at all a ridiculous situation. Currently you have not many people infected, but a lot of potential growth. Any single infected person can easily create a chain of 2->4->8->... resulting in a large number of infections, some of them of vulnerable people. In that situation you currently shouldn't be very scared of catching it, but the government should be trying very hard to prevent even a very small probability of you spreading it.state_go_away said:People are generally canceling foreign holidays not because they are afraid of catching and dying of Covid -19 but the fear of not being able to get back or being quarantined abroad . This is utterly a ridiculous situation where people are fearing government decisions more than the actual illness. it shows governments are over reacting and there definitely is a bad case of Groupthink infecting the world if not a plague.

Apart from sticking a few extra tins in the pantry (of stuff that I know I'm going to use regardless,) I've done nothing differently so far in response to the coronavirus panic - EXCEPT to abandon any planning for foreign holidays til this thing has passed. Because why would you bother under the circumstances? There's an excellent chance that something will go horribly wrong: the airline you're due to fly with going bust, the hotel you're due to stay in getting sealed off by the police because someone in it coughed (hopefully before you get there, although knowing my luck it would happen immediately after I arrived and I'd be imprisoned within it,) any attractions you wanted to visit being closed for the duration.Verulamius said:
The Wikipedia article on the Grand Princess is quite worrying.Nigelb said:
And, as we know from the Japanese example, a cruise ship is a really bad place to try to isolate the infected. Chances of large numbers of the passengers going on to become infected is fairly high.eristdoof said:Of all the appaling things I have heard come from Trump's mouth, this is one of the most disgraceful things I have ever heard from potitician in my lifetime.
“I like the numbers being where they are,” said Trump, who appeared to be explicitly acknowledging his political concerns about the outbreak: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”

In other words he doesn't care if people on the ship get ill or die, he doesn't want them being counted as US statistics.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_outbreak_on_cruise_ships
But the most idiotic thing you could do at the moment is surely to board a cruise ship? The second someone coughs on one of those things you find yourself effectively incarcerated in your tiny cabin aboard a disease-ridden prison hulk, going stir-crazy whilst you wait for the near-inevitable illness to strike. I hesitate to say that anybody who's stupid enough to board a cruise ship knowing how much of a risk they're taking deserves what's coming to them, but... well, it's not a very good idea, is it?1 -

I was saying about 10 days that they were really getting their act together and would get on top of this. Their use of technology to identify routes and possible infection points for every identified carrier was world leading, the resources and level of testing put pretty much every country (apart from the UK and Singapore) to shame.GIN1138 said:

With 140,000 people tested, the country’s mortality rate is just over 0.6 per cent compared to the 3.4 per cent global average reported by the WHO
They have demonstrated that you don't need to a psychopathic communist dictatorship to get on top of this. You just need a focus and relentless determination. Which is so far away from what we are currently seeing in the US as to make you weep. If you show that determination exponential maths pretty much disappears out of the reckoning and the peak will be a faint shadow of what some calamity artists are claiming.2 -

I would not go so far, but I do think there is a tendency to infantilise the average voter. While hindsight is a wonderful thing, I don't think people should get a pass on everything. For instance, I voted Leave and knew there would be risks from that. I could and do argue how much shit I should get if things go badly with Brexit, but I cannot simply blame it all on the politicians since putting it in their hands was one of the risks.kinabalu said:

Immigration is only one motivating factor; for us sovereignty and 'more europe' were also issues, but those are the issues French voters are actually supportive of. E.g. look at how supportive they are of the Euro and expanding the role of the EU. (like us) The opposite is largely true of the nordics.

A major part of this is that, for France, Europe is about increasing their power in the world. They ran Europe until German re-unification - many institutions are still very French heavy. Plus you have the French attitude to the rules - if they are not useful to France, they will be ignored.brokenwheel said:

For the Germans - well, they run Europe now. Carefully, so as not to spook the French too much.
In both cases they feel that if they want to change immigration, they can - I've had that expressed to me by many French and German nationals.1 -

“I like the numbers being where they are,” said Trump, who appeared to be explicitly acknowledging his political concerns about the outbreak: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”

In other words he doesn't care if people on the ship get ill or die, he doesn't want them being counted as US statistics.
Likewise he disgusts me., it goes beyond the usual political divides. I'm no fan of Johnson but he is a far more decent human being than Trump will ever be.
Trump is a product of fears of globalisation and immigration as much as Brexit was, a symptom not a cause0 -
There’s a lot of background to this one. EASA are in the middle of doing some very stupid things with regard to both commercial pilots’ working time limitations, and general aviation standards and certifications.Richard_Nabavi said:If there were any remaining doubt, the government's decision deliberately to crash out of the European Aviation Safety Agency should finally dispel it; they are stark, raving bonkers. This is a decision with zero upside and lots of downside.

(There’s a few political Brexit comments there on both sides, but also a lot of more nuanced discussion of the pros and cons of the decision).1 -

Same sort of increase as yesterday...I presume we will see a much bigger jump tomorrow. Running at now 4% of tests come back positive i.e ~1000 test yesterday, ~40 new cases.

Sorry would not have bought that excuse for electing Trump four years ago and I certainly don't buy it now. Anyone who votes for Trump in November knows exactly the type of person they are giving power to.HYUFD said:

It remains a pretty shocking indictment of the Dems that they have put up unelectable candidates twice on a Buggins’ Turn principle thereby handing power to this utter lunatic.OllyT said:Philip_Thompson said:

It is of course true that the two most honourable and decent men to be President in the twentieth century were Carter and Hoover. They were also unarguably two of the three most disastrous presidents of the twentieth century.
However, since Nixon was their near-exact counterpart on the other side and he would hardly be considered an unqualified success, I don’t think we can draw conclusions from this.0 -
And many want to give him power to control immigration and push more protectionist policies, especially in the South and Midwest, you may not like that but that is democracyOllyT said:
