I know this isn't covid news, but fucking hell...



need to wait for more info but they have been fighting it for a while. there has been an ongoing outbreak since 2018.

and

going by the last link they had no new cases 29th April through to 19th May so I guess its starting to pick up again.

Takes a while to load but they have a dashboard ( in french though ) for it like Covid's

Whichever figure you look at (deaths, total infections etc), every single EU and Western country has been disproportionally affected globally.

Thailand for example has a population of 70 million and an average age that makes it similar to here. Bangkok is one of the most populous cities in Asia, very similar to London yet Thailand as a whole has only seen 3000 cases with 57 deaths....

They imposed their full lockdown in April, 2 weeks after we did, yet the virus was first detected in Thailand in January, just like here.......

So why does the virus not spread like wildfire in Bangkok and Thailand but it does in London and elsewhere in the UK?
Face coverings for a start. High UV light conditions and temperatures for another. Hand sanitizer everywhere. Temperature checking.
Standard far east tactics.

Im starting to think the countries that disinfected the streets too have had a good level of control.
 
Been to hospital this morning with my lad for a routine appointment

They told us in their opinion the restrictions are being lifted far too soon and because of all the dickheads who can't follow simple instructions the hospitals are all preparing for an inevitable second wave
They could be waiting a while then.
Most people are covering their faces and keeping their distance. Oh and water evaporates from surfaces quickly at the moment

Waste of time doing streets - except push buttons on road crossings.
Disinfecting covered passageways, public transport and other indoor spaces on the other hand will be good.

110 England + Scotland + NI hospital deaths. 13 in England only on the day - Sunday. (To compare 19 reported from on the day - Sunday a week ago and 27 from the Sunday before and 45 the Sunday before that).

Weekend caveats (and Wales not out yet) but positive steady fall.

North West down a bit and not the worst region over past few days.

Has anyone seen any recent studies into covid and surface transmission? I remember early on reports suggesting it could hang around for days on packages delivered etc. That was weeks and weeks ago now though.
