Defo feeling it coming

- are you not on lockdown, is this not lockdown?kingsteven
- avg. 14 days from infection to death. 3000 cases p/d since 3rd of sep and still <15 deaths per day. when are we gonna listen to some actual epidemiologists andkingsteven
- admit that neil ferguson is an arse.kingsteven
- I'm basically on lockdown, yes.
Did do some largescale painting last week onsite, but no-one was really around.PhanLo - no change for me since march, this whole thing is so wrong. 1000% increase in cases since masks were introduced? 6 people from 2 households in my house but ikingsteven
- can go to a pub and sit with 12? treating people like idiots and conspiracies blow up on both sides... can we have a referendum on wether anyone gives a shit?kingsteven
- I was painting an area filled with picnic benches for the students coming back to Uni. They couldn't use the libraries so they've constructed some massive...PhanLo
- ...outdoor spaces for them.
The joiners who'd worked on it hadn't done much work since March, had to let half their staff go.
The boss was on the tools.PhanLo - Winter is going to ruin folk financially and physically.PhanLo
- yep lockdown was arguably doing more harm than good the first time around. dont reopen schools and test the fuck out of them if you don't want cases to go up!kingsteven

Don't quite get why Govs everywhere didn't used the long summer to build new medical facilities, stock up on supplies, etc. so coming winter again, we don't see huge surges in cases > few hospital beds > higher death rates?
I don't know if you guys know but we're approaching 1 million people dead from covid worldwide, and counting...
- Oh wait, it's election year...grafician
- 7600... But of course only about half those are medical related********
- Perspective. When u say a home ndred people they go oh noes. But than told how many meh********
- Huh that was suppose to be on kings post about 100 deaths a day...********
- But it's because it's political after election covid will magically disappear********
- Gibberish engine overload ^PhanLo
- how can words hurt my eyes so.kingsteven
- He really does type like many porn video titles online read: 'Busty teenager receives banged with loaded 10 pounder in her anal'Continuity
- Only, the porn video titles make slightly more sense.Continuity
- oh i think he's talking about my prediction that at current rates deaths would be < 100 p/d in the US by the election... still looks like it... but i don'tkingsteven
- think it's politically motivated, i just think it may happen in time to work to be spun in trump's advantage...kingsteven
- Not everywhere was it summmer. We just finished winter and are heading to summer.sab
- King I was showing average deaths per day. Making your dire prediction well great if the case********

'A Very Serious Situation': WHO Says Coronavirus Cases Are Rising In Europe Again.
- but this time european health care facilities are prepared, know better treatments and how to protect what survived the first wave.uan
- waves are of deaths, not cases. and our only proof of them is flu virus pandemics over the last 200 years. particularly the spanish flu, which could have beenkingsteven
- 2 strains of flu and didn't cause excess deaths in the elderly (the peak of excess deaths was 35 y/o) so there is no scientific basis for these fears.kingsteven
- also, the uk has been at > 3000 cases p/d for well over 2 weeks now (avg. infection to death is 14 days) and deaths are still averaging < 20 p/dkingsteven
- could go up far higher and i'll look like a cunt if i don't say it's better to be safe than sorry but i've read many papers on pandemic modelling by this pointkingsteven
- and a load of them predicted exactly this... yet the UK govt. and CDC still clinging on to the model that was done with 13 y/o undocumented code that has beenkingsteven
- used in previous pandemics (swineflu: predicted 65,000 deaths, actual 500 deaths) but sure, i bet it's spot on this time round.kingsteven
- More than health care facilities being prepared, this time the nurse giving palliative care prob has antibodies from the first time round...and theres nokingsteven
- shortage of ventilators because they dont help other than to spread viral RNA around wards... if a second wave happens and causes as many deaths covid = flyingkingsteven

- i've been calling it flying aids amongst friends for a while now. the sensationalism around covid is just so rife i imagine the psychological effects of thekingsteven

Stop reading that shite... Here's two good articles about what we understand about pandemic waves and how they apply to Covid from a virologist and a couple of Oxford professors in evidence-based medicine.
- Intuition says this pandemic will be a slow burn, going well into 2024 when we can really produce enough vaccine for everybody worldwidegrafician
- More concerned about the growing trend of not trusting the science and ppl being stupid and reckless, the next global pandemic will be really really bad...grafician
- ...and with growing climate change, it could come from anywhere and very hard to stop with waves of migration due to climate changegrafician
- Thanks, I was going to ask for some good sources in the other comments thread. But after reading these, seems like they are both just saying we don't know?yuekit
- First one gives some credence to the idea that the virus might spread better in colder climates. From what I've read elsewhere these viruses have a coating thatyuekit
- solidifies in cold, dry climates, allowing it to survive longer outside the human body. And you saw significant outbreaks in China, Korea, Iran, Northern Italyyuekit
- and New York when there was colder weather in those places. But none of that happened in isolation, there's no way to separate out all the other factorsyuekit
- yuekit have a look at excess mortality rate by age for the spanish flu, during the main peak the RR (ratio of deaths to normal rate) peaks for 25 y/o with verykingsteven
- little excess for the elderly, there are some comparisons to be made to covid (the effect of social distancing city-to-city for example)kingsteven
- but for this to happen: https://i.imgur.com/…
covid would need to become a completely different viruskingsteven - bear in mind this also just as troops returned from WW1 and we didn't have anything like the medical infrastructure and medicines we have today...kingsteven
- * SARS-CoV-2 would need to become a completely different viruskingsteven
- but i guess what i'm getting at and why i post most of the time on here is to counteract the treatment of 'worst case' models (used by WHO, CDC etc.)kingsteven
- as synonymous with 'the science' - they exist for a reason and most folks with a brain understand that it's to make us comply with distancing measures...kingsteven
- the rest either comply without questioning or validate their conspiracies based on a feeling of 'something isn't right'... i think the amplification of govt.kingsteven
- statistics by the media and a denial of alternative scientific hypothesis in the US is essentially Fauci and Trump as good cop/bad cop played out nationally.kingsteven
- after 6 months, society should have done a better job of educating the public in to an understanding of virology rather than treat them as an axis of idiots.kingsteven
- Yeah I think one of the most poorly communicated aspects by the media is the difference in death rate by age. I checked to see how many people in myyuekit
- age group died from the virus, and it's literally just a few thousand people in the entire USA. So if you want to take a skeptical view I think you couldyuekit
- legitimately argue that old people/boomers, who are mostly the ones in charge of society, are shutting down the entire society over a virus that is a threat toyuekit
- them personally, while screwing over everyone else in the process.yuekit
- Of course you hear a lot of stories about younger people who spent weeks in the hospital, or who are still suffering the effects. So clearly it is dangerousyuekit
- But I think a lot of people would still be surprised to see the actual breakdown by age.yuekit
- yep, i remember months ago crunching the numbers it would be around 3000 <65 deaths to achieve the 69% theoretical herd immunity in the UK based on NYC figureskingsteven
- given only 20% of folks are >65... i'd say now those numbers are too high. of course most elderly who died required care and for most thats how they got it.kingsteven
- it is scary how it infects all organs, in many ways the lasting legacy of spanish flu was that it reduced life expectancy by something terrifying like 12 years.kingsteven
- but i think largely we've failed to contain covid worldwide and there's no question that we could have failed quicker :D "Life can only be understood backwards,kingsteven
- but it must be lived forwards." We have some serious lessons to learn from how this pandemic was handled...kingsteven
- ^the really scary part is IF we do learn...grafician

The Lancet "The pandemic paused the US school-to-prison pipeline: potential lessons learned"
- What the fuck? Is this russian?********
- I can't tell if it says schools lead to prison or anything really. It doesn't make sense and reads more like robot written drivel********
- Proactively taking steps to mitigate a resurgence of the pipeline is a matter of population health. Health-care providers should be intentional about promoting********
- Etc...like what the fuck u trying to say robot********

Madagascar cures Covid with traditional medicine!
Lol this looks like total snake-oil witch doctor shit but when you dig deeper it’s made from the same plant that treats malaria and the same active ingredient in the anti-malaria medicine used by the big pharmaceuticals.
Not sure if it actually works but it’s interesting.

U.S. Covid-19 death toll surpasses 200,000
A prediction made in March — unfathomable at the time — has come to pass.

No wonder why no one in American believes the U.S. government!
- So tru. CDC is fucked upGnash

- I guess that it is safe to say that The Trump administration forced the CDC to change its transmission guidelines once again.utopian

- Without a doubt it's airborne transmitted. Seen it in early studies. The hand wash uv lights all kabuki********

I think this winter, even if we get a light flu, we will panic and start writing our wills.
- There will be mass confusion because everyone who gets the flu will think they have COVID.yuekit
- Likelihood of catching flu will reduce massively if wearing masks, antibac, social distancing etc. But you're fuct if u got kids lol.microkorg
- According to conversations with the CDC, they're expecting a bad flu this winter.MondoMorphic
- Covid has been pretty well controlled in Australia and its meant a massive drop in seasonal flu cases. Social distancing, increased personal hygiene & masks.thumb_screws
- Any data on actual test method or number of test manufacturers?********
- The idea of 6ft.. as arbitrary as 21 to drink and 18 to kill or can't be 17 and fuck a a 15 but cool to be 70 and fuck an 18********
- Political dum fuckery********
- your ability to talk so much yet say absolutely nothing of any worth whatsoever is genuinely fucking astounding.face_melter
- it's only arbitrary if you deny science, and that's not surprising because you're a science denying idiotmonospaced
- yes 6ft is the magic no. 5'11 fucked though. eat in restaurant, but not drink at bar. drink at restaurant is fine. that is arbitrary unless im mistaken.********
- can you show me this science mono? your science sounds more like religious faith in a state********

Has anyone on QBN tested positive for Covid? What was it like?
- I know a bunch of people here in NY that tested positive. From a certain "community" but still. My gf got it, but I quarantined for 16 days withhardhat
- I tested negative and don't have antibodies. I also know of quite a few people who had partners who got it but tested negative/no antibodies even with contacthardhat
- Yep, I had it and pneumonia. I had to got to hospital for a day. It was like the flu but with a very bad cough.Chimp
- I tested positive for antibodies in June. Previous to that I had twoo weeks of fever or almost fever, constant headache and fatigue...lnu
- ...no respiratory problems. If that was Covid, I got away easy! But I know people who have had antibodies but don't anymore, so...lnu
- scarabin13
We should just farm people with antibodies. Make ‘em produce it for the rest of us. It’ll look like The Matrix. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
- This is a good ideaGnash
- next, let's get a group of people to do a bunch of labor for us, for freeimbecile
- Brilliant. They can run the machinesscarabin

- What an a shitty schadenfreude thing to say. Most people end up isolating dementia patients for a few years. Because now u have to u ok others suffer********
- I actually think this guy is stoked and now has anger to use in place of guilt when not going. Justifying his actions********
- There is a reason home workers are underpaid and deal with more emotional baggage and workplace stress. And it's great to pawn it off on them********
- What a shitty to say he's stoked.pango
- Deathboy you don't half jibber a lot of pish man.PhanLo
- shitty or true. can we ever know?********
- ask yourself if this guy https://www.instagra… would like the weight to go and clean up shit stained trowsers?********
- or be responsible to pay for it. im thinking hes trying to have his cake and eat it too. maybe im wrong. my opinion********

- No db, YOU isolated your family with dementia as you so proudly pointed out a while back. It’s not normal.ben_
- And HE isolated his family so proudly... whats your point?********
- proudly? where you get that?pango
- same place ben got his. he thinks by posting such a thing is a matter of pride. didnt say it was correct, just judging on same measures********
- Ya that's very cold hearted of you to put your family in care home. You should have quit your job and take care of them your self.pango
- You're correct. Cold. But only thing u can do unless means or force society to care for your burden. Civil thing would be to ceremoniously kill them.********
- There's a point of diminishing returns on living and insurance social constructs full capitalizing on it********
- End up short lived on go e dime after burning through a bout 800k. Old days wealth passed on. Generational. Now health corps get it all********
- They specialize in keeping the walking dead alive to collect checks. Well some more than other pending on means. Always interesting death after fund run to less********
- Paying gov systems. The end of life care system needs such an overall as well as our culture on death********

A weekly Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that studied COVID-19 cases in 11 outpatient healthcare facilities.
Data shows that 7.8% of adults with COVID had visited a gym in the past two weeks while 8.5% visited a bar or coffee shop.
However, dining out is even riskier: 40.9% of people who tested positive for COVID-19 had eaten at a restaurant.
