    At least 100 back packers caught the bug so no doubt the numbers must be 10 times that at least. I actually think Sydney needs to be on a higher level than the rest of the country. We are 2 they probably deserve a 3.

    The first load of cruise ship people in forced isolation claim they are being kept in prison like conditions which makes me lol a lot.

    The state recorded 70 more cases of coronavirus overnight, bringing its total to 625, with three people in intensive care and 45,000 tested
    Queensland police said the community should expect an increased number of officers checking on people under public health directions and taking action against those who did not comply.

    They warned those who failed to abide by quarantine directions would face penalties of up to $13,345 for individuals and $66,672.50 for corporations.
    Absolutely no need to put Queensland in a level 4 lockdown.

    Why do doctors and medical staff seem to die more? Is that just skewed reporting or is it because of exhaustion or what.

    Think about the conditions they work under. They pick this up, continue to work with barely any sleep in a high stress situation. Unless they're taken off the front line, they have no chance to recover.

    It's the viral load they get from being surrounded by it.

    High viral load, i.e. being exposed to a virus by touching an infected doorknob is very different from being repeatedly exposed over several weeks by hundreds of sick people coughing all over you

    That too, but the load is critical:

    Two things:

    The chonkers are lying MASSIVELY about their death toll.

    European countries are counting deaths from Corona as those who tested positive but would have died anyway from something else.

    I've been watching a junior doctor's Vlogs on youtube and he mentioned something iffy. A couple of days back he was working the Covid ward. He's now back on a normal ward. That's risky, right?

    I keep hearing this line that the Chinese are lying about their deaths without any evidence at all, besides the fact that they're the CCP. It might just be the case that China did a relatively good job in dealing with the virus, in contrast to the Western world, which I know is quite difficult for people to admit

    This is quite interesting. Everyone's been busy clap emoji-ing their approach along with South Korea but it looks like they've properly fucked it. 25000 tested in total lol.

    I thought Tokyo on this was a bit of an eyebrow raiser when I saw it earlier in the week, looks like they've not really bothered doing anything.

    There *was* an article on Asianews about 45,000 people needing their ashes collected in Wuhan. Their website has been taken down.

    They'll have dealt without much better than anyone in the West, there's no doubt about that. I would like to know what they actually did to do that though. 3,000 deaths is a staggeringly low figure for a country of their size.

    We also don't know what measures they were taking during that six week spell before they admitted there was an outbreak. They could've been clamping down much sooner than the official lockdown of Wuhan.

    You have seen some of the housing in China? Where people are crammed much more tightly than over here. No chance they aren't hiding massive numbers.

    If it was tearing up Shangahi, Beijing, Guangzhou etc, we would know about it regardless of what the commies said.

    Hubei did get absolutely rinsed by it for a period and Hubei does have a population of 58.5 million (akin to a large European country such as us, France or Italy), so it's not like they kept it contained in Daventry. If their deaths there were 50,000 instead of the 3,000 claimed it wouldn't be that much of a stretch. It might be possible that by locking down Hubei and keeping it in there, they have merely delayed its arrival in other provinces rather than killing it.

    If they lock it down Chinese style then they won’t be delaying anything. It won’t get out.

    Count the immortal only. Death count stays at zero. I like it. Move along, nothing to see.

    There's a theory the increased exposure means a higher viral load and so worse illness, but I don't think it's really proven.

    We had a few drinks and a takeaway with the brother and sister in law last night via Zoom. It worked quite well, really. In a way it was better as there was none of that awkward “we’re knackered now how early can we leave without appearing rude” nonsense.

    I quite like mine.

    I was going to do the same with my parents today but I’ve decided I’ll pop up tomorrow and just talk to them over the garden gate while they stand at the back door. It will be nice to see them in person and it gets me out.

    There’s not much choice until the summer at the earliest.

    It will be glorious if we get to the point that people we like seeing (and us) have had it so we can do some things as normal.

    I hope you don’t experience the horror looking back at it like I had.

    Unless you did it with people you know. The one I did was with strangers and it’s a very very sad thing to do.

    Yeah it won’t replicate the pub experience. If you’re just going around somebody’s house eating, drinking and chatting then you’re not losing too much though. It’s not a way of living forever but it will get us through the next however many months.
