The hot weather is definitely not playing any part with this virus. I'm looking at numbers in Middle East last few days and they are getting no less cases than 2 months ago and temperatures are in their 40s (celsius) over there these days. I have a friend in Qatar and he posted a photo on Instagram yesterday, it was 43 degrees and they had 1900 new cases. Saudi Arabia over 2000 too. Bahrain and UAE 700-800. Apart from Saudi Arabia, they are all tiny countries and those are big, big numbers for countries of their size.
Iran looks like they are getting a 2nd wave too. They were early hitters, it started there at about the same time as it did in Italy and they had 3100 new cases yesterday. Their deaths plateau is lasting almost 2 months already, though it might be that their early death numbers were not really correct, guess it was much higher in March and April.
Only Europe and East Asia (Australia and New Zealand too) look like they have this thing under control so far. It's really plain to see that whoever had a good lockdown is out of the hell for now and who had an early one, never was in one.
Only few exceptions to that rule. Saudi Arabia for ex., from what I've read had some hard and early lockdowns, even curfews, but they are still getting high numbers. Guess people are not very disciplined there. But they don't have that many deaths. And it's even more strange with Qatar, they have by far the biggest relative number of confirmed cases in the world, but their official death toll is only 16 per million. That can't be the real number for sure or their "branch" of the virus is common cold alike one. Though it might be due to the fact that Arab countries have some of the youngest populations in the world.
It's the North West being virus central in the UK at the moment.
Elsewhere in the country admissions are falling. Even in other parts of the North West.
Yeah, cos of course when you retire from the secret service you still get access to all the reports don’t you?New report suggests virus was subtly genetically modified and that it must have escaped from a lab.

I'm sure she's OK mate - those who have relapses and croak, tend to have them quickly - like within a day or two - of seemingly starting to recover. Karen's been recovering or recovered for many weeks now.Has anyone heard from @karen7? Noticed she's been quiet recently. I know she had covid at one point so just a bit concerned about her health.

If NW was, its not anymore. NE has highest rates if infection at the moment. Although Barrow's rate is shcoking.
do you have links for your info?

She's OK. She'll be back at some point. I'm sure she'd appreciate that you're missing her.I'm sure she's OK mate - those who have relapses and croak, tend to have them quickly - like within a day or two - of seemingly starting to recover. Karen's been recovering or recovered for many weeks now.
She must just be staying away from this thread as I saw posts from her in the George Floyd thread from during the night.Has anyone heard from @karen7? Noticed she's been quiet recently. I know she had covid at one point so just a bit concerned about her health.
