Coronavirus Outbreak

[colinbh]

We're back in full lockdown as of today over here in Germany. They tried to introduce measures to avoid it, like masks being compulsory, bars and restaurants only being open for takeaway and compulsory masks within the city centres. It didn't really work and now our numbers are fairly high.

Where I live in Saxony we had things relatively under control until a far right group held a protest over the Covid restrictions. It was estimated there were about 35K+ People gathered in the city centre where I live to protest (not a large city by any means). None wearing masks, no social distancing. 2-3 weeks following that event the numbers in our state have skyrocketed. All retail stores are now closed as are schools which were previously operating. The stupidity of these protestors absolutely blows my mind.

It's hard to draw comparisons between Australia and my colleagues here ask me all the time how Australia has managed to control numbers. When you consider differences in population, and the proximity of nations surrounding Germany, compared to the ease of closing the borders in Aus it is difficult to compare the two.

How many deaths? Lockdowns have not been successful anywhere. Protect the elderly and the vulnerable, contact trace and get on with life.

Victoria turned things around fairly quickly with a lockdown. It wasn’t popular, but produced the desired result.

I think NZ also worked fairly well. Lockdowns generally don’t work well where you have a huge population with a significant percentage of morons that try to get around the lockdown and disregard medical advice.

That's a fallacy and you know it Col. Victoria got an extremely fast and deadly outbreak under control with a strict lockdown. NZ got their outbreak under control with strict lockdowns. No other lockdown I am aware of went to those extents, outside of China where they were welding people inside buildings, but I wouldn't trust their figures in any case as they have not been forthright at all during the whole COVID affair.

Two questions: do you have cognitive dysfunction? And is it caused by all the boot polish you're ingesting?

Being on islands a long way away from major populations certainly helps

Yet again ...we have been the lucky country

 

[TheDaBoss]

We should be thankful that we r in the situation we r in atm in aus, where our gov put in the right measures at the right times to limit the impact of covid...thats just my two bobs

 

[jadtiger]

According to the BBC a new variant of covid-19 has been spreading quickly in the south east of the country.At this stage there are no fears that it will be more virulent or resistant to the vaccines that have been developed.
Regardless it is not something the world should ignore

Contact tracing is a nightmare ...lots under the age of 30 treat it like a joke

So often the case for the younger amongst us, though it can grab a good hold of the fit and healthy if gotten in a large initial dose. Even athletes can be affected, such as the very recent infection of Lewis Hamilton having him bedridden for a week or so shows.

On the prisoners across the US, it is so sad that on top of their ridiculously high rate of incarceration and now Covid, to see another pair of executions carried out there this past week, with another few scheduled in the several further lame duck weeks. Considering that prior to July the process had been halted for seventeen years and with the data on false sentencing, to see a man likely rehabilitated after being jailed at 19 and sentenced to death was just another disappointing thing from over the Pacific.

Take care @Fraze23. Stay safe and healthy.
