The General Covid19 Thread
i’ve got a soccer practice tomorrow, looking forward to being sore and getting injured again.
Just 94 covid cases in the London area of the last week and deaths converging to zero. If it wasn’t for the Brexit voting Tory voting hotspots of the North and elsewhere, London would have had its lockdown lifted. As it stands no way the Tories would let resentment build in those parts of the country…
With the Finns under lockdown, church attendance has dropped to alarmingly low levels.
On the other hand, no-one is burning them down so…
Millsy’s already done the Finland funny Dave.
Also the churchburners were in Norway.
Just one person in ICU because of Covid19 in Finland.
Very true Dave, very true.
Meanwhile good luck America.
hugopal Partly, but those states above have pretty much fully opened up and no one is following any of the guidelines.
There has been more testing in the US so that’s partly responsible… but what doesn’t lie is the increase in hospital admissions. Trump you bellend.
Having now been back to work for a week or so, in San Francisco, testing is a huge part of the rise. And we’re not that worried as long as hospitalizations remain steady. We also know of some duplication being reported to the State. We report by County. San Francisco, geographically, is a very, very small county (it’s the only City & County in the State). What ends up happening is we’ll have a testing event at a skilled nursing facility. Some residents will test positive, but it’s mostly staff. Said staff work in San Francisco, but cannot afford to live in San Francisco, so they’ll live in a surrounding county. We’ll report it as an SF case, given where the transmission likely occurred and where the testing happened, but San Mateo County will also report it as the person resides there. It’s a complicated jurisdictional issue. Deaths have been at 45 for a while now, hospitalizations have been minimal - so we’re basically like, whatever. State and National numbers are one thing, but we’re good over here.
Oh yeah, forgot you had it. All good now?
jonattonyeah was quite surprised California was having a blow up in cases (aside form the issues you talk about) - thought they had a really strict lockdown?
