Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tin-Tin]

This is terrifying, especially when it hits really poor countries with no healthcare.

 

[orly]

- have two meals instead of three a day
- this will help you ration food and poop less
- using less bog roll
- keeps you indoors

Iran shouldn't be a poor country; it is being made one because of the actions of an idiot interacting with a regime whose opposition to the idiot is the only thing keeping it in power.

Absolutely. It's hit Venezuela too.

 

[nsno-chris]

there is an Ebola outbreak in the Congo with a 66% fatality rate. Far less acknowledgement and far less healthcare

Yet people in Europe can’t wash their hands for 20 seconds or be hygienic

While not wanting to be antagonistic or downplay the Ebola crisis, there are many reasons why Covid-19 is more worrying and it's not about race etc.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

This wouldn’t spread as much if people weren’t unhygienic. But no, let’s run the supermarket with hundreds of other people to buy bog roll

utter morons

I wet wipe, bidet. Socialism you see! Also, I'm hearing plans are afoot to rip up state aid rules, all good planning and moves to the left.

So I have a dry cough now, and a bad head. I don't feel like my temperature has increased, but I am letting a bit of wee out when I cough and sneeze - so I think I'm getting the muscle fatigue. Called NHS Direct, advised me to continue self-isolating, and drink plenty of fluids.

Luckily, I've rekindled my love for early era Championship Manager, and am bravely fighting against relegation with a front two of Don Hutchinson and Phil Jevons. Wish me luck gentleman, we're going to need it.

The r0 of Coronavirus is in the high 3s, whereas Ebola is estimated to be anywhere between 1.8 and 2.1.

Edit: Also, people in the Congo are far less likely to travel to the degree those in the global North are.

It's a dog eat dog world when things get tough, Tim.

We're about 6 points from Wimbledon in 17th with 8 games to go. Dave Watson (now 38) has been called in for CB as Richard Dunne is carrying a long term injury.

European nations are more densely populated and they have better transport links that, which are more frequently used by a higher % of the population.

Add to that, nations like Italy - especially in their north - have a higher level of individuals and goods passing through them (transient culture) on a regular basis.

When you it to the r0 level of corona, you have the perfect storm because an extremely virulent condition has been given the possibility to transfer globally.

With regards to CM, perhaps I should prepare by installing FM, RCTC and TTC on my computer, so if I do isolate I have stuff to do.
