COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

Doesn't really affect most of us because we are married.

Just don't go straying and you single lads be careful

Remember this is a PANdemic. Global travel will not be the same for a very long time.

this is true, but even if it doesn’t happen, we all need something to look forward to, a bit of hope

Just watched a special report from Italy. They have more recorded deaths than wuhan. If bj thinks we can beat this in 12 weeks he is seriously deluded and needs to be sectioned to a mental hospital. The death rate in Italy continues to rise despite being in lockdown. So bj, when are we going to lockdown to try and stop us going down the same tragic path as Italy????? He needs to grow a set of baĺls and do it now!!!!!

the speed of new test kits and vaccines could give hope within next 12 weeks without taking draconian measures and ensuring everyone takes isolated measures.

We dont have 12 weeks before we end up like Italy, maybe 3 if we are lucky!!!

What vaccines?

no vaccine will be available till next year at the best unless it’s an existing one that happens to work.

12 weeks to get over the peak suggests maybe 10-11 weeks of getting worse and then another 10, 11, 12 weeks on the down slope. Altogether maybe 5-6 months just to get to a point same as now.
China now over the peak but put tight controls in place early, 8 weeks of tight controls in Wuhan.
Italy looks like not yet at the peak.
Will be worth seeing the effect if controls start to be relaxed.

 

[Ban-jani]

Don’t watch the news is all I can advise.

It’s fucking depressing.

That sound more reasonable. bj is spouting shit. It will just lull people into a false sense of security. The guy is a dickhead

Does the actual virus not tail off ever ?

 

[PragueBlue]

What vaccines?

I assume he means treatments (eg malaria/HIV) to kill the virus, or at least reduce its effect, rather than a vaccine.

My daughter is having a baby girl on the 14th April :-)but I'm worried even though she's in isolation.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Our armed forces have started to move.

We should expect to see them in some areas from tomorrow.

A new reality.

I think if we start to pin our hopes on something such as that and ignore the coming tidal wave, we’re going to be left devastated.

Won't ever be eradicated, unless they have a full global vaccination policy like small poxs. Otherwise will keep popping up like measles, but if your inoculated, no probs, unfortunately no vaccine available yet.

Edit, then in 5 years when we have a vaccine, some hippy **** somewhere, will decide it causes autism, and stop inoculation.

Hopefully the scrotes have more fear of them than the front line police.

Hopefully special measures granting the authorities the chance to inflict damage on those that are willing to do so to the vulnerable, through stupidity and selfishness.

Adapt, Improvise, overcome.
One of the side jobs I do is voice over for all our company training videos. We normally record using a purpose built professional sound booth at work. As we are all working from home I've been testing places where I can get similar quality at home.
I'm going to spend a large part of today talking into my tumble drier full of clothes with my mic buried in them!!!!

Get in the shower mate, best acoustics in the house.

It may well still be seasonal - the fact it is not growing hugely in Australia supports that I believe. I have been reading on it all night. It is by no means certain but it could well be from my understanding.
