COVID-19 in other countries

Would the rate of spread appear to be much slower/less virulent if there were 5x as many infected and being reported?

 

No idea but he added later that he suspected it could even be as much as10 x actually .

 

Trumps Covid adviser resigned yesterday , smart man getting out be for it all turns real ugly .

 

Wasn't this guy a radiologist with some radical ideas (good enough to match the fearless leader)?

Live: Trump's special adviser on coronavirus resigns

"More on Scott Atlas's clashes with the coronavirus task force
Atlas spent four months on the coronavirus task force before his resignation today. He is a neuroradiologist, with no expertise in infectious diseases.

Recently he apologised for giving an interview to Russia's Kremlin-backed television station RT, saying he was unaware it was a registered foreign agent in the United States.

And like I said, Atlas has been sharply criticised by other public health experts like Anthony Fauci.

He has repeatedly downplayed the importance of face masks and this month said lockdowns had been "an epic failure" in stopping its spread.

His views on the handling the pandemic have been denounced by his peers at Stanford University's medical school and elsewhere."

 

Yeah right , no idea really l don't even follow US stuff much tbh, just heard it on the news.
Their situation though says it all.

 

Brought home to me with the news my daughter's BF's mother was diagnosed with Covid in her care facility at Nottingham UK, is in hospital and been given last rites and end of life morphine. He is not able to fly there etc, etc ...

Very sad.

But there were also heartbreaking cases here in Australia where loved ones were not allowed to visit dying family members. Simply no time for the compulsory 14 day quarantine, and very, very few exemptions, usually granted too late.

 

Yeah l think all that was bloody ridiculous , and heartless over kill.
My Slovenian friend incidentally is now stuck in Slovenia and separated from her H in Spain , until at least January . They're both in lock down. She went home to sell her workshop , caught Covid herself and now they're on 78k or abouts and in lock down.
But you know , they do at at least have good reason, 78k now and only 4m people and then Spains situation too of course.

 

Saw an interview with one of their doctors today and yeah he blames Trump denial and lack of leadership sure and 50 other things, but in a 10 minute interview not one mention of the people and mentality , their demos and election carry ons as if it's all a picnic. Or the 1000s and 1000s probably millions of people just all out and about doing their thing today all over the country in a little clip running down in the corner during the interview. No masks, no distancing , bars and malls , centers, crowds.
Reminds me of a thing l saw on their road toll. They blamed the most ridiculous things but not one mention , not one , of the way people drive or their speed limits , or the lack of. Not one mention, same as this interview today.
Their entitlement and the way they act,total disregard are things you don't talk about over there by the look of it apparently.

 

I heard that too. In many ways this will reflect badly on the incoming leader of the free world even if it wasn't his fault.

 

I see that George Dubya, Clinton & Bazza are all lining up to support getting the jab.
