Hefty Stereotypes

[Scot Dutchy]

That's the Elsevier. Read by the right wing. Even the word "stuiver" is old fashioned. It refers to the Guilder and the five cents from then. They are very conservatives and use the old names but that was then. It only works for the 5 and 10 cents. We had always a 25 cent or "kwartje", a 2,5 guilder coin or "rijksdalder" and a 25 and 250 guilder bank notes. Right up to the 70's the Guilder and Rijksdalder were made of silver and were worth more in silver than as coin.
I never pay attention to the Elsevier or its opposite the "Groen Amsterdammer".

those morons are reopening the bars, but only the terrasses, I don't know how long we'll have to wait till we can go inside again

Cafes will be open next week.

Same here (in the state of Victoria), but only 10 people. 3 weeks later, 50...

But I'll hold off a while...

[Scot Dutchy]

So will I Jim. Let them work it out first. My sauna is not opening until September when the sauna season starts again.
I do expect it to be very busy as few are going out of the country for holidays.

[Brian Peacock]

Well the sauna can open on the first of July and not the first of September that's how serious it is. People are screaming to return to some form of normality.
You have more chance of winning the Lotto the meeting someone with Covid 19 virus.

10 weeks lockdown looks pretty serious to me.

BTW: How many numbers on the Lotto and how many do you have to get to win the big one?

Come on this was going to last until at least next year. Well that is what we were told by the RIVM.

It is not that kind of Lotto. It is the State Lottery (Staatslotterij) and you buy lots. The chance is approximately 1 on 5 million for the jackpot and on average there are 1,1 million lots sold. The jackpot just now is roughly €7,5 million. The highest it has ever been is €25 million.
The lot number is two letters and six numbers.

[Brian Peacock]

1 in 5 million is 0.2 in 1 million. At the moment The Netherlands coronavirus deaths stand around c.340 per million or, if we multiply it to match the chances of winning the Lotto, 1700 in 5 million.

Maths eh?

So Scot, why don't you want to talk about the spike in the mortality rate?

[pErvinalia]

Because you can't trust that data. You can't trust ANY data. It's all rigged by the government and elite to keep us in our place and put more restrictions on us. Don't tread on me! (with your clogs)..

[Clinton Huxley]

There's more chance of something I just made up happening than of something I'm unilaterally disregarding happening. Or whatever.

Is forbes 'right wing talking points' or 'trusted media'?

2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. (Nursing homes are residences for seniors needing help with activities of daily living, such as taking a shower or getting dressed, who also require 24/7 medical supervision; assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require full-time on-site medical supervision.)

According to an analysis that Gregg Girvan and I conducted for the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity, as of May 22, in the 41 states that currently report such figures, an astounding 42% of all COVID-19 deaths have taken place in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

...and does this mean guys like Cuomo and BoJo might get in trouble for mis-stepping on this particular issue?

According to whose figures?
Your the one talking about the spike. How about the spike in 2018? There was no virus around then.

Yes, there was an influenza virus back then.

[NineBerry]

Another outbreak at a church service. In both cases evangelicals having an event without masks but with singing in a closed room.

This is the perfect self-defeating argument.
