Are you concerned by the 'spike' in Covid-19 cases?

Did that get posted on Bwana's site?

PE is in big trouble and needs a new approach.

Most concerning is that most respondents don't give damn. And the spike increases exponentially

This poll thread is great timing, lots of exposure of hype developments being discussed in the last couple of pages of the main Covid threads;

International COVID-19 Updates & Discussion 2

South African Covid-19 News and Discussions 3

Head muppet making nice noises again. Imagine, 5 days of mourning for the few who had a fatal outcome, like the flu. Seriously, this is all deranged.

"It's the flu bro."

Only thing I’m concerned about is having to back to the office in the coming months. So job hunting just in case. That’s about it.

Wasn't concerned in November of 2019

Even less concerned now.

We don't worry much about other countries, unless we are immigrating to them.

Poll: Will you be mourning for Covid victims? (asked with respect to them)

Most concerning is that the majority of your respondents aren't concerned at all.

Most concerning are the Very and It's concerning. Unless what they're concerned about is the potential loony response to "steep" increase in cases.

Most concerning is that most respondents don't give damn. And the spike increases exponentially

Exponential is a vague term. How steep is that curve?

If anything both curves are less steep now than they were a few months ago. The rate of increase has dropped.

As many have discussed in other threads, there was no successful curtailment here ever. Too many wild taxis throughout, informal settlements, masks worn beneath the nose by many, etc.

If breathing and talking is the vector, which is the current line being used to promote masks, then I don't understand why people are worried about whether noses are covered. Any vapour from the nose travels mostly vertically down on exhalation and then potentially up above head height by the typical air current around a warm body. Unless in a tiny room or sitting inside a public vehicle it seems a non-issue. It'll even handle the dreaded lurgy spreading cough. Sneezes are easily and at least as effectively handled by tissues. And frankly anyone panicking about masks off noses should be equally panicking about masks that are not sealed around the edges (i.e. almost all of them).

 

[Brian_G]

@noxibox , most don't know that unsealed (most) common masks are close to useless with Covid-19, so discussing the exposed noses seems to make it clearer. Amounts to the same thing really (?)

Late December/early January is when some concern needs to be given and after that period late April to August is another we need to be concerned

I'm pretty sure I had it in this past week at home. I was napping everyday, sometimes twice a day, all muscles were aching. Attention span was not as good as it normally is, kept forgetting little things. Slight dizziness on and off constantly.
Feel loads better today, but the previous 6 days were not my normal.
I will see how I feel tomorrow, but I reckon I rode this one out if I did get it.

Chatted to a guy today on a hike and he had all these symptoms a month ago so went and got tested and he was positive.

Elon Musk had himself tested 4 times yesterday, same setup yet 2 results were positive and 2 negative.
Details in the S.A. Covid thread.

 

[SlowInternet]

Not concerned at all. The economy has been destroyed except for the ones benefiting from all these Covid tenders. Whatever needs to happen must happen. I'm tired of these Covid rules and regulations.

Sounds like a hangover.
