Berlusconi picked it up.
Nice bit of irony.
I'll not lie. His 30 year old girlfriend looks alright. Italian politics must be the seediest.
Pubs (or restaurants as they are these days) have to keep records of everything every single customer eats on the premises for 28 days
It's because most of them are acting the fuck and people aren't eating anything at all.
3,000 new cases. What a winter we have in store.
I’ll take £9 worth of crisps, please.
Yeah with about two deaths a day. We should be using the current good weather to loosen things up faster.
All eyes on France again. Their hospitalisation rates are up.
Paid our CentreParcs break in November off yesterday. 3rd cancelled holiday this year hanging in the balance here. FML TBH IMO.
Spain pulled nearly 200 deaths yesterday.
Eugh. This is getting beyond tedious now.
Where’s Mellin and his falling knife shorting?
Looks like we were just a month behind our European friends then and this is coming back.
Still don't think it'll be as bad as first time round, but brace yourself for local lockdowns and Christmas being cancelled.
If certain cultures are also still ignoring the advice we need to stop pissing about with how we treat them as well.
Fucking hell, the signs of life in 'Spain deaths' isn't really suiting my narrative here and if it continues and France starts the engine too, we're going to need to start thinking deeply. About what I'm not sure but scenes will be imminent one way or another.
Might get a couple of tinned turkeys in, just to cover myself.
I'm freezing some kebabs. These cunts ain't tripping me up again.
Still got about a billions cans of tomato soup and chicken dippers. I’m still good.
Just need them to get more stock of Dr Pepper zero because the bastards have withheld that from me for the best part of a month now.
I don't care how bad it gets. I'm not eating that can of macaroni and cheese. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.
Chicken noodle soup man. Whoever said it was a remedy to an illness must’ve got it from the vomcano it produces. Eugh.
Those large mug shots they sell in the Range.
I was on a train yesterday and I'd say almost 50% of the passengers either didn't bother with a mask at all, or had it pulled down under their chins. It was fairly busy as well.
Also kids going back to school, can assure you especially in Primary there is absolutely no social distancing whatsoever in the playgrounds. Corona is a myth.
Who was it that said only the elderly and the autistic that buy into this shit? @Queenslander? Anyway, theory confirmed.
I'm saying the little bump in Spain deaths could be the sign of my narrative dying. As n aside, their latest 184 deaths figure was seen on 16 March during the first wave and case numbers then were 25% of what they are now.
If deaths do go back close to first wave levels, we can start ignoring any case number comparisons as it will just be evidence that we're now testing all manner of mild/asymptomatic people who we didn't bother with the first time round. The excess deaths is still on the average line (and not dropping as I previously envisaged) so I'm tempted to go along with this theory now.
Pretty much, yar, but surge in cases is clearlynot just as a result of more testing so the phenomenon of a 2nd wave seems to be true.
A 2nd wave of some degree was always going to happen. It's a reasonably contagious virus that the magic pixies won't just rid from the world in a matter of months.
Deaths are less per case due to a combination of:
It's already killed off the seriously low hanging fruit.
We're testing a hell of a lot more people now.
I haven't seen the demographics on positive tests but I'd be surprised if it isn't more weighted towards the lower risk groups now (the young and Taz, for example).
The lag between cases rising and it actually killing people, which we know is about 3 weeks to a month.
"It's already killed off the seriously low hanging fruit."
I think we are getting close to putting this to bed given excess deaths remains on the mean.
Deaths followed 2-3 weeks after the cases in the first wave, but as Yev alluded to, this spike is amongst the young so it shouldn't have anywhere near the same mortality rate. They said on the News this morning that the majority of cases are in 20-30 year olds at the moment. That may or may not be the case in France. No idea.
Aye but that's still a potential six months. We're at half time. Also, on low hanging fruit, the virus has probably created a new batch of those from the first wave. Although the rest of us are probably sorted with immunity and superpowers.
A secondary in the next town over has put the whole of Year 9 into lockdown after 4 staff and a student tested positive on Saturday. Fucks sake, not even a week in.
There's loads of school cases here too.
If one case takes out a year group for two weeks, then I don't know why they're bothering to open them again. It'll be total chaos.
"Open the schools and uni's up. They'll just get minor symptoms at best. BUT WE MUST PROTECT OUR TEACHERS AND LECTURERS!"
Yeah... Protect them from working!
They're already losing their shit over these levels, UK media and twitter gonna be pure entertainment in the coming weeks. Blaming failure of contact tracing, school reopenings and closure of mines
Honestly, the population we have now would be utterly fucking useless in a war.
There would be more councillors than soldiers needed.
