Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

I’m pretty sure I read that Ferguson’s imperial model was applied to Sweden as a case study and it estimated they’d be reaching 100,000 deaths by the end of June if they didn’t implement an official lockdown.

I’m neither an advocator or a critic of the Swedish methods of combating this but I do wonder how history will view them compared to other nations who locked down hard.

As of today they have 5,280 or so deaths, with their trend mirroring that of elsewhere in Europe and heading downwards.

To be fair Ferguson’s model has us all dying, reanimating and succumbing once more iirc. Like he had other things on his mind when he did that work.

1 death and 3 New cases in Ireland today, hopefully the first 0-0 is not too far away.

The house opposite us sold in March and the new owners have been doing lots of work on it before they move in later in the week. Don’t think I have seen a single mask on anyone the entire time - even the painters who you think would have been wearing them under normal conditions!

What painters use masks in normal conditons ffs

I am seeing a report which is astounding and a bit of a game-changer if true: the virus was present in Barcelona in March 2019.

When they are sanding down areas prior to painting, as these guys were, I’d expect anyone to wear a mask.

How’s about we all hide for a day but we put out a load of mannequins

The virus would go into the mannequins and we all run out and slap the living snot out of the mannequins with sticks and bits of pipe and then burn the mannequins or something

Most, if not all, house paints are water based now even over there surely and sanding needs adequate ventilation
