Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Bungle]

I googled it in 2017 there was an estimated 1.2 million so a guess of 0.7 million out - they were talking of an amnesty at that time to give them status if they had started business etc - most countries have them .....fact.... so comparing the Covid 19 on population per head is not a true reflection.... that was my main point for every country .....

The report you're referencing said between 800,000 and 1.2m, you've plumped for the higher end to support your narrative Joseph, and are still way out.

The options at the moment seem to be:

a) lockdown the country to try and reduce the number of people who get it
b) wait for an accurate test that's produced at scale to test for people that have had it, so they can go about their business
c) wait for a vaccine

B and C could take a really long time, and A doesn't seem feasible in medium term, so it seems reasonable to explore other options to me.

How about D......

I bet you any amount of money he wont be able to find this "report".

Have they actually confirmed anything about immunity once people have had the virus?

That's the crucial point, often overlooked.

I don't think so, no, but pretty much every prior virus operates that way, so fingers crossed. Now, where shall I jab the needle?

How about vitamin D......

No Donald

If you can't even get your own figures correct I'm going to have to end this here Joey.

Look at a report and See it says between two numbers , decide to add both figures together maybe ?

I’ve no idea how many there are by the way but if I picked a number I wouldn’t use a report that doesn’t support my suggestion to support my suggestion .

Surely you are not in the UK? Companies can't make you take one

Yep working in the UK. In the terms of the contract changes, it states that it's optional. However, they say you need to provide a reason as to why you shouldn't have to take the pay cut and the worry is with people being furloughed and made redundant refusing to sign puts you closer to those options. Proposed to be in place for the rest of the year.

Talking of numbers, the USA will probably today reach the same number of deaths through Coronavirus that they suffered in the Vietnam War (58,000).......

It's the way of the internet

I don't know tbh. It's all very opaque, but usually, if something appears to good to be true...

Thought youd find this interesting mate.

I wonder how America would have fared if they'd just dropped some bleach bombs on Vietnam instead.

Interesting. A lot of workplaces are talking about 'return to work' albeit in some phased or reduced capacity. This may be one option for them I suppose as I doubt any social distancing measures will work effectively in the workplace.

Maybe we need to find some time in the daily calendar to 'baaa for the voluntary herd'.
