Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Walken]

What do we make out of the situation in China? Barely 4000 'cases' since early april.
Surely due to the heavy lockdown there, if there is a country that should have suffered the most from a second wave it is them? Or are we dealing with pure lies? Or something else altogether that we don't know?

Probably in the 'who knows' catagory, there must be ex-pats out there though who could at least shed light on the general vibe and what measures have been taken

That's very surprising, some horribly dangerous agendas get pushed in this information age

Bonkers. Mixture of thinking covid-19 is harmless, vaccines are harmful and not trusting the government.

Sounds very similar to my local. Even had a band in the garden the other Sunday afternoon. But once the nights draw in, it reverts to a drinkers pub, with a very loyal customer base through the winter just ticking over.

Google Black Horse, Clapton in Gordano, and you will see what its like.

Very similar to ours....looks a lovely pub.....

Thinks there’s one in London too

I appreciate that. The point I was making though is that Sweden has got to a similiar position as the Uk without adopting such restrictive and damaging policies. And while it is also experiencing increased cases in recent weeks that rate of increase is somewhat slower than our own (not that I put any store by how many positive cases are being found -- look more, particularly amongst population groups believed to be more vulnerable to infection, and you'll find more).

Cant imagine why Sweden is held up as a great success.
Their death rate per million population is 10 times bigger than neighbours Finland and Norway. Both introduced early and extensive lockdown.
Sweden let over 5000 people die in retirement homes.,

Centralized state control = greater efficiency on public health matters.

There's about 2,000 there.

If thatls all they can muster then they can draw their own conclusions.
