Imho it's the end of October now and we are at something like 11-12k daily. Failed by a factor of almost 5 AGAIN. Well it's probably better than failing by a factor of 20 or 50 or whatever the ridiculous "expert" estimates were earlier this year.It has now been claimed by one prominent “expert” that without additional “preventive actions” there will be 50k daily new cases by the end of October (now something like 2k I think) which is THE SAME RIDICULOUS FORECAST that was made every other month since about March/April.
Mate - new cases in .NL are through the roof.There was a scientist from the UK government's SAGE getting interviewed the other day in The Telegraph and when asked what is going to be the biggest problem this winter for extra mortalities and he replied ''Seasonal flu...''
Looking at the statistics in Europe while the infection rates are sky-rocketing, the mortality rates are well under control.
I've had the first colleague go down with it in Spain. He's off sick in isolation, but not needing hospitalization.
Some of the stuff that's going in the UK, particularly Wales and Scotland seems well over the top at this stage. Supermarkets not being able to sell anything other than essential items. Closing the border in case them dastardly English get in. Begging Westminster for more money to keep them in perpetual and endless lockdown until all risk of the virus is eliminated by vaccine.
Then you have Sadiq Khan, wanting London to be in severe lockdown, whilst his contemporary in Manchester is fighting to keep the city open.
When I was buying my watch today, I asked them how was the business and they said marginally down on normal, but not by much as many people who weren't going on holiday where using that money to buy watches.

you got about 9,000 daily new cases - we have 24 and we have 33% more population
Sewerage particle counts and test positivity rates both say community infection is growing exponentially in the Netherlands, and you pass that off on increased testing.
Yeah I suspect that the testing rates in a lot of places were too low and too focused on symptomatic ppl - chugging away is true. We are tackling that.No, I am saying that the virus never went away. It was chugging along in the background, almost unnoticed due to lack of testing with the exception of hospital cases and then there is over confidence that it's over and now there is a spike. But some of that spike is down to increased testing. You couldn't get tested unless you were a medical worker for quite some time.
For the first weeks of the pandemic you couldn't get tested and then only you medical worker and you couldn't get face masks. And you still struggle to get N95 masks. Everyone's walking around with ones that come in boxes that state they are non-medical, stop droplets, but they're not to N95 specifications.
I cant BF looking up .nl - but our testing rates are around 17,000 a day in Melbourne - we were always doing around 7,000 a day - just in Melbourne = 5m popn - we are doing sewage testing too. esp in rural areas - if there a minute amount detected we swamp with testing.
Covid: Spain imposes national night-time curfew to curb infections
As well as a night-time curfew, travel between regions can be banned under the emergency measures.www.bbc.com
"Italy is shutting cinemas, swimming pools and gyms from Monday in a further attempt to curb the rapid rise in coronavirus infections.
Bars and restaurants will have to close by 18:00 but shops and the majority of businesses will remain operating."
Most of the restaurants in Italy don't open until 8pm and most people don't go out to eat to around 10pm.
I am naturally a 7.30 - 8pm meal time or a bit later and I don't mind waiting if the roast needs another 30 mins or I'm busy but Ms family - well more her Dad - got really seriously anxious and angry if he waited much past 5.30- 6pm.That sounds like Barcelona. To be honest I don't eat until 1930-2000 anyway but I'm in a minority here.
I need a vaccine every 6 to 12 months? A new gold mine industry is born.
After Covid-19, some survivors experience ‘heart-wrenching’ hair loss

That might be because constant repetition does not magically make it any more reasonable or acceptable.I’m amazed that we still have to explain this stuff to people:
COVID-19 Herd Immunity Strategies Could Bring ‘Untold Death and Suffering’
Why proposals to largely let the virus run its course—embraced by Donald Trump’s administration and others—are a false promisewww.scientificamerican.com
In pharmaceutical terms, vaccines are not very profitable. Certainly, they may be widely administered, but they're low-priced and typically only administered once per year, if that.
Pharmaceutical companies want people to take medicine daily, and to take that medicine for years. That is why pharma companies plough many, many millions into developing drugs like statins, and then spend more money on wining and dining doctors so as to persuade them to prescribe their new wonder drugs. That's the gold mine industry.
That might be because constant repetition does not magically make it any more reasonable or acceptable.
Fortunately, we can disregard all the misrepresentations, misleading statements and all the (medical) facts that conveniently have been left out of this article. We can do so because the article correctly states that "an ethical path" is needed. Articles like this do not even remotely try to tackle the ethical question and in fact prevent a useful discussion of such question.
This type of thinking is just the mainstream version of Cuckley's bare-chested leather jacket dude, it's just as useless.
No I randomly threw that in to malign and discredit the people who write those horrendous articles.Did you randomly throw that last paragraph in to make you look clever?
