Re: The Coronavirus Thread
The relatively long asymptomatic infectious period suggests a higher rather than a lower number - borne out by the fact that most of the stuff politicians and health experts are repeating suggests that about 80% of the population are going to get it.NineBerry wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 12:42 pmAll experts I heard say that the RO of Covid-19 is not 2 but 4-5.Tero wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 12:12 pmTrump tower.

Others blame the Republicans. Some blame the Chinese. Everybody blames Trump. Everybody needs a villain, evidently.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Re: The Coronavirus Thread
I blame no one and everyone
Re: The Coronavirus Thread

(so I probably can't blame anyone)

Surely some clever band somewhere has produced an altered cover, "My Corona"
Should be a really catchy song...
