Coronavirus Outbreak

[Cultured_Bogan]

So I've been tracking how many countries across the world have 500 plus cases Covid a day

It started at 32 ....peaked at 37 ....and is now at 31

Hopefully the slow downward spiral continues

The problem with that Happy is most of the countries who are affected now would not be providing accurate figures.In the majority of countries it is because they dont have the infrastructure to test and collate the figures unlike other countries like Russia/North Korea who would not be telling the truth even if they did know the extent of the problem

And places like India, Pakistan and Brazil where they will flat out never know due to the impoverished getting picked off and unable to seek help.

They are over 500 cases a day ....well and truly

Yep. India now getting 10,000+ a day, and Pakistan about 5,000+ a day. True figures much, much higher I'm sure.

Once it gets into the Indian and Pakistani slums and the Brazilian favelas, there'll be tens to hundreds thousands of undocumented cases and thousands of deaths.

For what its worth, we have had a big spike in numbers in Aus last two days, 33 cases. Not a lot in the big scheme of things but double what we have been getting. Keeping an eye over the next few days.

Attributed to the marches perhaps?
Btw I have no problem with the marches it is just very unfortunate timing

Most of them are international arrivals I think.

I feel really sorry for the Rohingya refugees crammed into Cox's Bazaar (Bangladesh). Very limited supplies of soap and water and very limited medical care. These poor people have already suffered so much and now they're sitting ducks for Covid-19. Without the benefit of reasonable hospital care.
It makes you realise just how lucky we are and it puts into perspective some of the whingeing and bleating about the restrictions we've had to "endure".

34 countries yesterday with over 500 cases

 

[TillLindemann]

Brazil now even smashing the US.

Beijing has gone into Lockdown now over another COVID-19 outbreak.

Beijing has gone into Lockdown now over another COVID-19 outbreak.

Smoke screen to stop an international investigation
In saying that I believe their numbers are much higher than reported
I don't know what they are afraid of
If it wasn't man made and it was an accident or nature taking it's course then what are they afraid of
What are they trying to hide
Maybe the numbers are much Much MUCH higher then they are reporting

Exactly there numbers have been full of shit from the beginning , we don’t even know when it truly started . all countries went into lockdown mode based on initial reported figures .
They have massive population and going into lockdown over 40 daily reported figures , no frkn way it’s that little for them to go that drastic and do lockdown .

 

[Tim Sheens]

Quite damning when you compare the earlier hit countries in Europe to that of the US, whose leadership and response has been seriously inept.

spoke to my ex this morning. Business as usual in Shenyang China. Her clinic was closed Jan Feb and start of March and then permitted to open 11am-2pm. Now her surgery is open all day 7 days per week.

photo she sent me:


Take what you read about China with a grain of salt from Western media. Same applies the other way around.

Agree on the dismal leadership. But when you think about it, they were doomed from the start.

Their economy relies on low minimum wages and something like Jobkeeper would never happen there.

You end up with a lot of people that have no option other than to get out and work and get sick.

Don't be ridiculous, the US is a nation, just like the others and ours for that matter, that also have local authorities working under national leadership.

Sadly, Brazil is getting even worse.....

Yeah, horrible. The scary part is the lack of testing and the 55% plus positive rate for the relatively few tests carried out. India is probably next, even though in the now sunning northern hemisphere.

So it was Trumps fault that De Blasio invited everyone down to Chinatown, kept the subway running with reduced (more cramped) trains and Cuomo legislated that elderly people with COVID were forced back to nursing homes? These were all decisions Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon made?

The US is a nation but it is ridiculous to suggest that it is run by the feds or even that it is homogenous. The biggest problem has obviously been in NY (democrat run) whereas LA and CA generally with similar population (also Dem run) has done relatively well. It is not Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon of the Feds fault NY is a disaster zone, it is not Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon or the Feds good work that resulted in CA doing well. Local decisions mattered.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Again, not going to get into pages long discussions on topics such as countries from which their infections arrived, or the actual laws and rules regarding nursing homes, when facts are publicly available.

To show just how poor the US national response has been, we can look to the following situation when the 5 states with readily available figures for highest death totals and/or per capita death rates look similar to those graphs of the European nations above. Compare them to those of the nation's graph and the figures within, which is damming of their response, months on from the emergence.

Would be great if someone could provide a graph showing the US figures without those and/or the 10 early/worst hit states, as I expect that it would look terrible?
