Hugo may have made some very hurtful comments about me (I didn’t leave my bedroom for a week after that), but he may have a point here - if deaths don’t pick up then it looks like a moderate to bad flu .. 150 deaths per day x 90 = 13,500 over the winter (ish)… a severe winter’s flu kills 10-20k right?
The General Covid19 Thread
2 things to remember:
- High infection rates increase the chances of future mutations.
- “MAN CLAIMS MILD SNIFFLE ESCAPED BİO-WEAPON IS THE SAME AS A COLD. MAY HAVE SEVERE CONCUSSION.”
hugopal No, it tells you that there is a weird overreaction going on.
it’s only weird if you aren’t very bright.

he’s missed the point completely, as always. the concern with this variant isn’t a high death rate, more that it’ll knock out a good chunk of the workforce (where healthcare workers are of particular concern) because of how quickly it spreads. people may not be ending up in hospital, icu, or dead as often, but due to the number of cases, it’ll still overwhelm hospitals with staff shortages (because people are still sick/symptomatic).

You’re missing the point I’m afraid.
As Alistair’s Twitter Mate, John BERK-Murdoch, clearly illustrates (with a chart no less) ICU NUMBERS ARE DOWN.
Lets not muddy the waters by broadening the perspective!
I have to say I’m proud of us. Taken this thread all the way to Hugo having AIDS.
in fairness, he’s done a lot of the heavy lifting.
Jules72 19,000 people in hospital with a sniffle is not a good situation full stop.
Hope they boot him out
vinnyt77 the cunt’s visa’s been cancelled. Excellent.

jonattonyeah people with AIDS would probably have been more worried about covid than I’ve been.

Team Australia were making statements this morning that if his paperwork wasn’t in order, he wouldn’t be let in.
Thought occurred he’d be fucking daft to travel if he didn’t have the right paperwork.
Turns out he’s a paperBERK.
