Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Oh no I mean like how best to avoid things. Like I'll stick bags in my poclets, gloves to pick up the basket, glove to put items in my basket, gloves to put them on conveyor belt, gloves off to get the bags out of pocket, gloves on to put items in bags, then I need to knuckle the bloody touch screen, then gloves off to walk bags to car etc.

Just such a faff thinking of all the things you might touch and that's before trying to avoid everyone ignoring social distancing and the directional arrows.

Are you at particular risk? Very old, for instance? Very obese or with diabetes? Black or south-Asian ethnically?

No I'm not at risk at all - but others are.

More pointing out I'm just being overly precautious not for my own health but for others around me. Whilst this thing might not affect me I can still pass it on to those whom it might hurt.

But it may not be over yet. Nothing is ‘confirmed’ until it is finished and the data reviewed. Sweden has gone for ‘herd immunity’ and has saved its economy in the process. If a second wave hits Europe, as it may well do, then more deaths follow, a further shutdown wreaks the economies even further, and deaths decline again slowly. A second wave in Sweden may have absolutely no effect as they may have achieved immunity. But no one knows, and until all the phases have been gone through and data collected no one knows what was really the best way to deal with Coronavirus......

Sweden's economy is being hit as much as the rest of its trading partners is. Pubs and restaurants are pretty much empty as they are across Europe. They're just not telling business and schools to close although the majority of people are working from home where possible, essentially the same as other countries in lockdown.

Sweden had no lockdown but its economy is expected to suffer just as badly as its European neighbors

Sweden has attracted global attention for not imposing a full lockdown, as seen in most of Europe, to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Sweden's Somalian community have been terribly affected by Covid-19 as unlike Swedish people (who basically move out when 18 and live alone) Somalis tend to live together in extended family groups similar to Japanese and Korean families.

Obviously don't be a divvy and all, but I fear you may be worrying a bit too much.

If everyone worried so much we might not still be racking up the deaths every day like we are though.

That's largely unknown I'm afraid.

I mean, common sense for the most part.

The gloves thing is pointless.

If you did have the virus on your gloves or hands you will have inevitably smeared it elsewhere during the process.

By your logic nobody should ever go anywhere in the winter in case they sneeze near somebody and give them the flu and they die of pneumonia.

Its a tad extreme.

Aye because flu & coronavirus are of equal deadliness.
