I just told my 5 year old son that there was a clap at 5pm this afternoon. He said, “Why? Because the pubs are reopening?”

Fucking ledge. My work is done

Well, they are re-closing indoor spaces here in San Diego. Restaurants, bars, wineries and tasting rooms, cardrooms, movie theaters, zoos, museums, and family entertainment centers….all closing again for the next 3 weeks to see if they can bring the numbers down.

303abuser hahahaha. Welcome to my world.

Going by reports of friends who have lost family and who have actually dealt with the system once infected, India’s death rate is questionable for sure. Doesn’t seem like they’re accounting for the many people who are dying at home and haven’t signed up for the treatment centers and the hospitals.

It would seem now is the time to be even more careful than you were when there was a lockdown. Exposure is now on another level.

Some more lovely news from the world of COVID: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/08/warning-of-serious-brain-disorders-in-people-with-mild-covid-symptoms

Along_the_Wire

The Guardian’s coverage of the Coronavirus can be ignored, it’s absolute bollocks.

rhouses

This along with the airborne news is pretty much everywhere though, Grant.

Along_the_Wire

rhouses If you read the Guardian regularly, it has way more negative coverage of the crisis than other publishers. I’m sick of it, so stopped.

Millsy

Along_the_Wire I must admit I also prefer the sunnier stories related to COVID19 deaths and long term side effects.

Along_the_Wire

Millsy It’s not that, it’s just overwhelming and it highlights really fucking stupid stories like ‘Key workers at higher risk’, ‘Global Infections pass 12m’ etc

bosstrabs

I’ll be honest, I’m quite startled/scared about the long term effects of even a ‘mild’ dose. I don’t think it’s Guardian scaremongering at all - it’s worth knowing about.

Along_the_Wire

bosstrabs It’s the boy that cried wolf syndrome, it gets lost in all the other bollocks.

Millsy

Yeah, personally I would rather not catch it until there’s a) a vaccine or b) workable treatments that prevent me going on a ventilator and potentially dying and/or suffering long term health side effects.

Mad_Cyril

Millsy Yeah, personally I would rather not catch it until there’s a) a vaccine

I’d hope one wouldn’t be able to catch it post vaccine!

Millsy

Mad_Cyril eh?

Mad_Cyril

Millsy
You said you would rather not catch it until there’s a vaccine.

A vaccine is preventative.
You can’t catch C19 if the vaccine works.

Was supposed to be a joke, now I’m sounding like a fucking troll.

Will get me coat!!

rhouses

Even the stories around vaccines is sounding pretty grim. Africans already complaining that they’re being targeted as guinea pigs by corporations who are absolutely milking all of this financially. Also hearing about young folk who are part of the testing process, injecting themselves with COVID to be guinea pigs for vaccines.

Millsy

rhouses the bloody Guardian again?
