    Closing the states here essentially cut off the major cities from each other (given that each state really only has one major city), which went a long way to keeping things contained.

    I doubt it. Close the borders between England, Wales, Scotland and NI and nobody would care.

    You'd just anger the border types that work between countries.

    I don't know about pushback, but political/police/health boundaries all overlap, so it would all have just fallen to bits in about a week.

    Counties are only there for administrative reasons really. This is a crowded island with roads everywhere and people everywhere and there's no real gap between any of it. All we could have done was have a maverick in charge and ridden their madness to lucky glory; any vaguely conventional approach to managing/balancing anything here was doomed to failure.

    Comparable countries might be the likes of Holland and Belgium, both of whom have also fucked it to varying degrees (especially Belgium).

    Everything should be based on historic county lines, and it would be a brilliant solution to the separatism issue.

    What do you think people are doing in workplaces when it comes to putting their mask on to go down a corridor etc.?

    If they’re not washing and sanitising their hands first then they’re just imbeciles and it doesn’t matter what else they’re doing.

    There are some places in America having people note their name and contact number before entering a store, which is great... however, somewhat ruined by not providing hand sanitizer beforehand, and then having everyone use the same pen :/

    This really isn't rocket science.

    Fuck me where is Barnaby when we need him? McCormack is backing Trump and feeding the nut bags all while Scummo is away.

    Asked about MPs spreading COVID misinformation, Michael McCormack says 'facts can sometimes be contentious'
    https://www.sbs.com.au/news/asked-ab...be-contentious

    Also the SBS and ABC comment section is chock full of Americans now.

    The day Martin announced the restriction relaxations for Christmas (so money could be spent) he might as well have just got up and said "Go ahead and do whatever ye like and we'll deal with it in the new year" because that's how everyone took it.

    Nobody realises when using Mumbai etc (all the Indians I know say Bombay) that they're endorsing a bunch of ultra right wing ethno-nationalists who love to kill Muslims, but I guess it's alright because they're brown.

    It's a matter of time until they get the country name changed to Bharat, which may sound cool and anti-colonialist but is actually like us renaming England to 'Whiteland'.

    Has the wonderful progress in treatment meant we now have the useless dying fucks clogging up the health system for longer or is the spike so much bigger this time than it was in April?

    They were happy enough with Bombay from independence until the loonies got in charge in the mid 90s (the loonies are now almost an unchallenged one party state).

    The BBC have ran a few of these weird stories over the last few months. They’re told as if the victim (is that the right term?) is a healthy individual with no issues, but she didn’t look terribly healthy physically to say the least and unsurprisingly had high blood pressure.

    It remains unclear whether individuals who have been vaccinated can transmit the virus, so the University will continue to require the same testing and behavioral expectations of all community members this semester regardless of vaccination status.
    We will be stuck like this for a long fucking while, won't we?

    Well, we've injected 2.6m so we would see a significant spike off that if the jab was infectious.

    I think they mean you may still be able to catch it asymptomatically after being vaccinated and still be a transmission risk.

    Do you know how likely it is for a large number of vaccinated people to still be spreading it RL?

    When I was doing prescribing the other day we were just asked to advise people to continue with social distancing etc. for the time being as we don't know if vaccinated people can still transmit it. So no I don't know any more than you at the moment.
