Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Well done.

Ha!

Never has beans

While we are discussing exercise: Man on a skateboard going down the road where I live. Two junctions and you can easily hit 20 mph freewheeling on the bicycle. And it goes on like that for 2.5 mile.

I didn't make my initial comment thinking it would create such a long reply (I only read the tldr version and I think maybe you've taken it the wrong way or I have worded it badly in the first place)

Actually I don't know if your initial reply was aimed at me so my reply might not have made sense to your post since you mentioned someone called Jeff?

I've seen too many people having a go at each other in here and I don't know if it's due to the situation their in or whatever but that's not what I'm about so im just going to leave this alone.

I always thought there was a nasty streak of class based hatred and misogyny in Frankie Boyle's material. I remember a line of his being 'when I read the headline 'Fannie Mae explode' I thought Kerry Katona was having another baby'. The show he is well known as a panellist on wasn't called 'mock the weak' for nothing.

Given the world view he has now adopted, I wonder how he sleeps with the multi million pound book advances he took from Rupert Murdoch in the bank.

Is it confirmed that they’re using the same definitions and ways to count? Heard on the radio that Sweden counts anyone who dies WITH c19 while some countries only counts people who say FROM c19

I spent an evening with Tom Stade a wee while back; I knew his wife who was a photography student. He’s an absolute prick.

This is a much better presented graph IMO. Near vertical rise vs slow rise can look a bit like the 'dramatic' angle the media might be chasing for moar clicks etc.

obligatory stand up comedy is fucking weird post because it's true.

Didn't Tom Stade and Frankie Boyle work together ?

Funny prick.

Difference.

it's part

Singlehandedly...

I suppose my judgment was coloured by his endless shitchat about how much weed he smokes and how he’s only with his wife “for the fucking kids,” but, y’know, LOLZ.

Dunno, had a look and this is what I found:

To assess the injury-epidemiological consequences of the Swedish
strategy is also difficult due to unreliable statistics. On the one
hand, the reported “infected cases” is solely based on tested cases,
chiefly done only at hospitals; the real number of Swedish cases
remains unknown. On the other hand, the death toll reported on a daily
basis does not represent the real number of fatalities of that day, as
the Public Health Agency claims they receive scores of death reports
days after deaths occurred.

In addition, according to a Swedish associate professor in
anaesthesiology and intensive care, Dr Mats Eriksson, “Numerous
patients released from hospitals then die at home, untested, and get
the diagnosis of unspecified pneumonia.” He also noted,

There is an instruction in Stockholm that suspicious deaths caused by
Covid-19 shall not be further tested and therefore not included in the
statistics. Yet, they should be put in a death-bag marked ‘Infected.’

Good job he didn't open up on current affairs!

To be fair, their total deaths did more than double in a couple of days tho, which also makes death rate look more startling.

Interesting.

Think it’ll take a while before get some statistics we can trust and compare between countries.

Also, reading news articles is always a bit hit and miss. I think it’s quite obvious that most of them has an agenda or angle to push. Ie “Sweden’s elderly now pays for the strategy” and then the article backs that statement up, often without shedding light on different views. Haven’t read the article you linked but it kinda sums up my news consumption recently.

Sorry, it wasn't really a reply to you (well there was a reply to one bit but I failed to quote it).

It was more of a rant about the justifications people have for doing certain things they do vs the social responsibility that is in desperate lack of display by certain people and the odd bullshit justifications people find to continue certain behaviours.

Good

This all makes much more sense now, and I'm with you on the last part too. It's unfortunate that so many are trying to do the right thing even though its not at all easy and it's soul-destroying watching people do the exact opposite.

I miss rep

These seem like reasonable protesters. Blocking ambulances FFS.

America is fucked and it looks good on them.
A few more months and the USA will be just like Iraq in 2004. Karma.
Sorry for the normal people who live there though.

Remove the whiteier regime.
