COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Bazzmand Show]

Not read it yet but not surprised. Although it’s been very difficult for many (I’ve struggled) it’s also become a new normal...less rushed, less reliance on material things so I can understand. Thought I’d love to see the busyness back initially but I quite like the peace. The walks have been so utterly lovely and I’ve reconnected with so many old pals

Yeah I agree, there are somethings that will not go back to what they were and it will be for the best.

The pace of life before was silly.

Pointless polling when the message is stay at home. This is actually a poll of how well the current messaging has worked and I would say by the result that it's worked very well.

The messaging has only just changed to we have passed the peak despite the peak being the 8th April so give it a couple more weeks of good news messaging + time to put the economy back on track after a couple of weeks and the results will be very different.

No thats fair enough, but the 'economy coming back on track' is going to take a long time, lets not beat around the bush. Even if everything was magically opened up tomorrow the public will not suddenly come flocking back. This has a permanent long term impact.

An observation from worldometer. Check the difference between 5 country's absolute deaths and the rest.

These are the facts. Up to you to interpret them.

But that will not be the message. It will be along the lines of make the NHS proud. Something easy to digest and hitting all the right notes. It will come and it will work.
Longterm? I give it 3 years and everything will be above 2019 numbers.

Long term, some things will change for the better. I think peoples 'work life balance' will forever be changed for the better.

No fucking way am I doing 5 days a week in an office going forward.

People are frightened. I think attitudes may change if Europe re-opens and people see that you can mix without new cases surging.

They're not facts though. They are the deaths that have been reported by those countries but, as we know, different countries report in different ways and perhaps some are less 'reliable' in their reporting than others.

If you were a Tory you would be called wum or troll.

Why?
I'm just quoting facts.

Lets see what happens, if cases surge again in Europe we are back to square one.

I think a shitload of hard work has been one, I don't think people want to risk undoing it at this stage.

Think it's this one

Blimey 5 deaths and my postcode is only about 4 villages...

If you are going to do that you need to do deaths per capita. Worldo has per million which is good enough

I did that but there's loads of silly countries there which makes it awkward to read: san marino, Andorra etc.

In January when we were watching Wuhan had you been told that it would develop into a global pandemic would you have picked those countries to top the lists of death (absolute and by capita)?
