COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[hilts]

For anyone still wondering if the “Summer Heat” will help, Qatar had 238 new cases today (up from 24 in total yesterday).

The temperature is a steady 28 degrees today and 21 now at 7pm.

Must have all got it at night:-)

Italy's numbers will be very interesting any moment. I am expecting another 200 dead - anything less will be a bonus - but *hopefully* some slowing the rate of increase of new infections.

If this thing explodes in USA and it's a matter of time probably, there's going to be some fire. Their health system is awful, they are barely doing any tests, sht gonna hit the fan there big time.

And no central health body to report to.

People need to eat and buy supplies, they do not *need* to collect together in mass numbers for several hours in the name of fun. A certain amount of risk is necessary and acceptable. I'm aware that people rely on income from these events too, but what's more important, money or life?
I'll answer that for you, life!

Unfortunately, far too many don’t agree with your answer....

So are we finally gonna get a lockdown of the nation?

And for how long a fortnight or 4 weeks?

If two weeks fine any more and there is only so much internet and telly to keep entertained when confined to the house.
