Strange they think the problem has gone away. They'll loosen up for a very short period and the cycle will repeat, repeatedly, until everyone has had it and/or there's a vaccine. This is going to play out for at least another 12 months best case scenario. China is still under pretty tight restrictions.

Just to give you a rough idea of the financial costs that this damned virus is bringing. In Ireland, the Dept of Social Protection (our equivalent of what used to be the DHSS when I was living in Blighty) processed 714,000 income support payments up to last friday. 507,000 Pandemic Unemployment Payment (PUP) claims, and 207,000 standard jobseeker's (the dole) claims.

At the end of February, there were "only" 182,000 on the live register of unemployed people.

The PUP was only announced on March 16th. Gone from zero to over half a million in three weeks. Frightening. And that's only a small country like here. Fuck knows what it's costing the UK..

The virus isn't going away but the Austrian Government clearly think that's the best approach for them. Building up resistance in the population in a controlled way (as opposed to a reckless herd immunity approach) will probably be a feature of several countries' ongoing response to the virus.

Think without a vaccine it will have to be, months of lockdown isn’t sustainable, at least not all in one go.

Death figures down but again is probably due to limited weekend staff.

True figures will be out tomorrow and then we'll see where we are at.

this might be a problem if proved.
