    Practicality always wins. We only need people in the office for the printers and minding the automated workstations. And if we get rid of the former, it's to save money on paper rather than keeping the office spacious.

    This gives a good insight into the attitudes of younger people in Vietnam.



    Thanks to the complete lockdown of Danang 4 weeks ago, our second wave seems to be coming to an end. No community transmission for a few days, and here in HCMC, we are essentially back to normal. Easy.

    I understand being safe but imo this is a good stat not a reason to lock down. 14 people a day in a population of 5 million?

    The shut everything down if someone's ill route is utter madness. When do you stop doing that, in five years, ten years, ever? Europe is getting it right. Squeeze as best you can but it's a virus, you're not going to stop it.

    Just look at the numbers.

    This is temporary, city-based 3-4 week lockdowns until a vaccine is available. Most non-effected cities continue as normal, domestic travel, business and other things continue.

    France/Spain having loads of new cases but barely any deaths surely proves that there is nothing to still be stressing about? I wonder whether you could extrapolate it back to the peak as well and assume that actually ten times as many people had it as previously thought.

    It takes 3 weeks for the deaths to come, so we'll see I guess.

    Nah they're all dead now so there won't be any.

    % of symptom free cases would be more interesting.

    I'd imagine Vietnam does big on tourism. They have a dirt cheap currency with a stupid name. Punters love that.

    This may have been brought up earlier and lost in the ether but these pop up covid cycle lanes are absolute dog shit, Preston in gridlock today because miles of dual carriage way was closed to make a pop up cycle lane for the non existent cyclists using it.

    Turns out, when you tell a bunch of jittery spastics to stay indoors for five months, the first thing they'll do is go on the internet and dive down the rabbithole.

    If he spoke like that about a high-status protest he would be sacked in about three seconds.

    I'm taken aback a little by the age of them. It's a combination of the young autistic and the elderly.

    There was a similar protest in Brisbane recently and the age range was the same.

    The best bit is the cognitive dissonance on display, one of the attendees was sadly my Dad's ex who is the mother of my half brother, she has been ranting like crazy about vaccines as she is a massive anti-vaxxer, not too fussed on the content of her drugs though

    Piers Corbyn (older brother of Jezza) leading the charge on that Trafalgar speech is interesting given I didn't know anything about him becore. Makes you question whether Jezza actually has wholesome fundamental values and they were separated at birth or whether he just chose a different path to get his fix after the dinner table debates ended.

    They just fell in with slightly different crowds. Slapping him with a fine is pretty disgraceful when the police have been laying on toilets and wanks for the ethnics and climate tossers.

    I forgot to look at Spain last time but they're even beating France with a new peak number of cases reached (beating their former peak at 26 March).

    Spanish COVID deaths on 26th March - 745
    Spanish COVID deaths on 28th August - 15

    Get me on a fucking dancefloor.

    The low death rates in the 'second wave' are fishy as hell. Either:

    a) bajillions of people had it before, and didn't realise it;
    b) it's weakened;
    c) it's already finished off all the infirm who were going to die from it anyway.

    America seems to be immune to the above, though.

    It's probably a mix of a and c, with some marginal gains also being had in regards better treatment methods etc.

    Or the Spanish are just lying in a different way with the stats now.

    Probably some combination of them all.

    I've been looking at trends like these for the last couple of weeks, it's so strange these arent getting picked up by the media.

    I think treatment has improved since it started and the people getting it now are at the younger scale which is less devastating.

    Yep. Even though we've opened back up, the at risks will be still be shielding in some form. Unless they're in a care home.
