Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

What if person 1 goes shopping without his mask?

It's possible, but there's no firm evidence either way.

No other country has a flossy headed psychopath as their political leader.

You were saying ?

 

[Blueclouds]

I'm confused

So if you die and tested positive for covid. This will go down on your death certificate but is covid the reason why you died?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Well yes, but I feel you know that's not what I meant.

But a major argument against them is that they encourage people to go out when ordinarily they would not. Answer me this. Pick an elderly relative of yours. Would you encourage them to go outside if they had a mask on?

Edouard Philippe, french Prime Minister, in french parliament just said no large sports events can take place before September so events like Ligue 1 for foorball and Top 14 for rugby seasons for 2019/20 cannot be finished ;-) Will be interesting to see how/if french foorball and rugby leagues react ;-)

If it was my in-laws, the answer is YES.

563 deaths excluding Scotland. 828 Tuesday last week.

The downward trend continues.

It's not a total I like to see but it's looking like a drop of maybe over 25% which seems significant enough for a week. Hopefully we see that sort of drop every week, or preferably a bigger one.

I'd imagine somebody touching the mask with virus coated hands would be likely to touch their face with virus coated hands anyway ?

Maybe, or they are touching the mask more than they would their face as they adjust mask, etc.

I'm not anti-mask. Actually think we should be wearing them in public with caveats.

But we need to educate the public. Add this to the list of government failings.

I know mine would make a balanced decision for their situation. That fact that being shut away for many weeks if not months against one's own wishs will be detrimental to health whatever.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Just haven't a clue what you're on about.

Sniffy?

Hopefully with a shrug

Am hoping this isn’t just a weekend reporting lag

Can you delete this post? Otherwise there’s a good chance Trump will boast he has bought a billion masks and two billion caveats.

surely the downward trend isn’t of that much consequence, you would have to see a downward trend from lockdown otherwise we would be totally screwed, it’s all about what happens when lockdown ends
