The Coronavirus Thread

[Brian Peacock]

Guardian Live: "Italy has overtaken China as the country with most coronavirus-related deaths, registering 3,405 dead, a rise of 427 on the day before."

By this time tomorrow, the number of deaths in Italy will have surpassed that in all of China.

and France should not be far behind

Ready for burial?

By the time religious conflicts were fully ironed out, I suspect mummification, or even fossilization. Problem solved.

The US closed it's border from 'those dirty people'.

Next, I expect they'll close their southern border.

I wonder why Canada got the cold shoulder first...?

In other news, Rebel reports that flights are still arriving in Canada from China. Haven't listened yet, so don't know when that report was. I'm nearly scared to check flightaware for myself. I suspect we're pretty much open.

The supermarket today was fully supplied. There were for those that needed them stacks of toilet rolls. The bakery was full of bread and fresh vegetables were over flowing. It seems to have reached the grey matter of the worst idiots that there is no problem.

[Brian Peacock]

No problem for you, obviously. But you haven't had your income wiped out or been forced to choose between your health and your job, have you?

[Scot Dutchy]

Nope but very few here have ended up in that situation. Health in insurance here does not demand a choice has to be made. Nobody's income is wiped out. The government went into fully social-democratic mode and the money drawer was opened.

[Cunt]

There will be some deep and unexpected effects on our, um, civilization.

We have 14 yes, one four, in a population of well over a half million. Let me weep. How many people died on the roads? But no there are no increase in speed controls (the biggest killer). We would save more people by shutting down the roads.

Ehm. Speed Limits in the Netherlands have just been decreased two days ago

The Netherlands has introduced one of the strictest speed limits in the world. Beginning on Monday, a speed limit of 100 kph (62 mph) applies on highways across the country during the day. Between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., drivers can increase their speed up to 130 kph on designated sections of the road. Cyprus and Norway are the only other European nations to impose similarly low speed limits.

The speed reduction has nothing to do with safety. It is purely for the environment. For safety the speed should be reduced to 70 kph.

Still why should we get our knickers in a twist over such low numbers? Which certain people take as gospel. Governments are notorious for massaging figures to suit their requirements. The UK unemployment figures are a good example. The way data is collected is never the same either and what the WHO is saying should really be questioned as it is the monkey of the American organ grinder.

Is everything a conspiracy to you, Galaxian?

Speaking of Galaxian, where is he?

I have 2 theories:

1. He has fled the coronavirus, staying with his alien friends on the far side of the moon.

2. He died.

Yeahbut, why are the farmers Republicans? In Minnesota, an exception, they can be both.

3 he got enough of our disrespect of his person and our perpetual deridement of his balderdash and carried his august and extraterrestrial knowledge elsewhere.
