Novel CoronaVirus (COVID-19) Updates & Discussion

[daveza]

Yeah, I think the heat is preventing it from spreading to the countries who are in summer. There are a handful of cases in Australia though - no deaths though.

One in New Zealand today.

Nigeria also just reported their first case. Hillbrow is fscked now, more than it was before...

"Milan (population of about 1.5 million people) has 2 confirmed cases. For comparison, among travelers returning from Milan, there are at least 5 confirmed cases: in Croatia, Germany, France, Spain, and Finland."

Italy is not even testing mild cases, they seem to report mostly only the serious ones , and keep spreading it all over EU's open borders.
I think right now Italians are more dangerous than Chinese.
A friend from UK , just told me of a woman who visited Italy, went back home sick , but insists it's not corona virus and goes on as usual.

At the rate things are going, we will have to get a case sooner or later...

It's stuck at JIMC?

 

[MiW]

In denial I guess. But she is not the only one. Corona is just turning to be the seasonal flu in Italy , with somewhat higher mortality , in my opinion.
I don't think the official stats matter anymore. Even the Nigerian case is Italian.

La Scala in Milan is closed.

The Italians are taking this very seriously.

 

[The_Librarian]

So, no more Chinese takeaways or pizza then

There's a possibility that a vaccine won't work cos of confirmed coronavirus reinfection cases. We're absolutely ****ed. Humanity's ****ed. If you want it to end quicker, commit suicide. Otherwise start stockpiling food and water now. Canned food preferably. Just avoid pilchard ones.

At least now if someone falls on the pitch, we can say it's because of coronavirus and not because he dived...

Football is much less important than opera.

Football is much less important than opera.

There's a surplus of football fans in the world, and most of them are yobs. Let the games continue

50 000 people screaming in a stadium, what can possibly go wrong..

 

[neoprema]

Winter will be interesting.

I’m hoping by then they would have the antiviral out.

they really need to skip human trials and use machine learning or AI or a combination to simulate the tests and speed them up exponentially and just get this vaccine out to everyone now!

R80,000,000 for 132 people for 21 days = R28 860 per day?

I bet the quarantine camps in china are a lot cheaper...
