The Coronavirus Thread

Someone still doesn't understand exponential growth. And third world hygiene standards.

Somebody who does not understand propaganda. The growth is already disappearing. Reality will kick in shortly.

Why did the American government react so slowly?

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life

The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions

Trumps war that is almost a requirement for American presidential elections.

Why did the American government react so slowly?

You're a walking contradiction. On one hand you think the whole crisis is overblown, and on the other you think the US should have acted quicker presumably because there was a crisis that needed it.

What happens afterwards?

We must take drastic action but let’s not turn into a nation of little tyrants

Crisis measures often become permanent – it’s up to us to ensure our democracy stays safe

Well forget the democracy bit as that never eqisted just replace with "society".

Fear is pushing us into a dictatorial future. The only choice is what type of dictatorship. For now, we live with the dictatorship of a lockdown that imposes curbs on our freedom to work, move and socialise that are beyond the curtailment of civil liberties in the world wars.

For how long? Here in London, the centre of the British outbreak, you can fool yourself into believing the city will tolerate the lockdown indefinitely. Don’t believe the trashy stories about hordes of egomaniacs putting everyone else’s health in danger. The worst newspapers and TV channels are merely looking to incite pleasurable feelings of outraged self-righteousness. Their pictures of panic buyers cramming supermarket trolleys without a thought for others reflect a mere 3% of shoppers, retail market researchers found. Shelves were not empty because of endemic selfishness. The overwhelming majority of customers were buying a few extra items because they and their families must now eat every meal at home.

Unable to understand the political side of this?



3,700 people die every day on the highways of the world. Perspective has been lost but why?

Your answer?

[Brian Peacock]

Because Covid-19 is about 10x more contagious than the flu and about 4x more likely to kill you.

More people are dying each day in the US from corona virus than the average flu and road deaths COMBINED. And that was a few days ago. The deaths per day have risen further.

[Brian Peacock]

That just confirms that Covid-19 is not a problem in the Netherlands, where people drive slowly and everyone who needs it gets the flu jab.

Here you go Scot. A man after your own heart!

They are doing a lot of noise in the French media because a politico (former minister and current high level elected official) just died, apparently from covid... he was 75.

Although I dont agree with many things Peter Hitchins says in this respect I agree with him totally and he echo's what I have been saying. Cut away the paranoia and look at it rationally as he has done. The way that deaths have been reported is laughable. Are these deaths due to corona or were these people just tested positive for corona? He uses as an example prostrate cancer. There is no evidence as no investigation was fully carried out into the cause of death.
Looking at what he said about the beginning of this year and the end of last year about how many cases of flu there was I have questions about my wife's and my illness in January. We both had all the symptoms of corona and I ended up in hospital with extremely high temperature and coughing. Also the pains in my chest. The whole thing lasted three weeks and I almost died. Was I cured or did my body cure me?
Was that corona? Were we the first wave? No evidence as we were never tested. The same can be said about the cases of corona now. How many deaths are purely corona deaths?
My biggest question is why did governments react the way they did? I agree with his reference to civil liberties. They are under threat and will that threat be removed after the all clear is given?

The Northwest Territories has about 40,000 people in it. 1 confirmed case.
