COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[cleavers]

We have seen how the virus behaves in every location that has been impacted and some states in America are lagging behind others so are only just getting it.

That's not quite true, there is a clear correlation between the weather and the virus, especially in the US.

Whenever it's cold it spreads more easily. Why ? because people are indoors much more to keep warm, whenever it becomes hot, it spreads more easily, for exactly the same reason, people go indoors to keep cool.

It spread in the US northern states in late winter, and it's spreading in the more southern states in the heat of summer (same with much of the middle east, India etc, didn't spread much early on as temperatures were more temperate), it's also spreading again in Australia in their winter (similar in southern South America).

It wants people indoors, because that is hough it spreads easiest.

But I assume if people stayed indoors and kept socially distanced etc then it might not spread as quickly. The weather we had in March and April at the beginning of lockdown when many people didn't act like twats didn't help us as it was very dry and people went out far more than if it pissed down everyday.

Not one for conspiracy thinking but starting to feel something is very wrong somewhere.

THIS is not a repeat from two days ago.

Its just now from the PHE on Twitter!

That would be because he is in charge of the fucking country, not a random rugby supporter, and a pandemic requires a societal response not an individual one.

We didn't have a pandemic when that rugby match took place (Mar 7th), so if you put aside your political agenda for a minute, and look at the actual facts, there was no reason for him to avoid going to the rugby, just like the other 79,999 rugby fans, or us visiting wembley the week before.

Perhaps the plan is to book Mystic Meg to strategise how to track and trace. Will be as helpful as a system that seemingly can no longer add up numbers.

Try social distancing on the Tube in early March going to work.

I'd argue the weather did help us, remember much of the country was suffering from floods in early March, so we were indoors a lot, and our lockdown didn't start until Mar 16th, by then much of the damage (in regards deaths in particular) was already done, and the vastly improved weather meant many were social distancing outside, and lockdown meant we only really mixed with those in our own households anyway where we were pretty much confined, if we didn't go out.

I wonder how many of those sandwiches, and sandwich packets, have infection on them by the time they are consumed, doesn't really bare thinking about.

You can imagine the reaction to this latest farce on social media. Utter contempt and belief the country is being taken as mugs.

How on Earth are they going to persuade the public to act sensibly if half of them think you are incapable of totting up numbers that are needed to track outbreaks? And the other half that you can but don't want you to know.
