Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Looks like Germany is headed straight for Lockdown II: Return of the Bauchspeck.
Word is Merkel is pushing for a national ‘lockdown light’ which would close almost everything again. We’ll find out tomorrow after her meeting with the 16 state premiers.
Grrrrr.
- I don't think Germany will be alone, the good thing is Germany will do it at the right time, the UK will do it 4 weeks late again.fadein11
- Bauchspeck's back for two months already. Beach body not ready...SimonFFM
- ^ Not UK, just England really... been back in lockdown in N.Ireland for 10 days now.kingsteven
- Belgium is heading for ittank02
- yep true that kingfadein11
- and Wales and Scotland(ish), my blanket terminology for our shower of shit was uncalled for.fadein11
- we've no further restrictions on retail but schools and restaurants/pubs closed so photos of the non-essential items curtained off in england is real odd atmkingsteven
- we just finished a full on lockdown in israel, now it's light lockdown, still no schools, almost nothing...renderedred
- ugh every lockdown just kicks this thing further down the road and extends the painhans_glib
- I can’t see what can be done otherwise, though. Herd immunity is utter fiction.Continuity
- schools and kindergarden stay open, restaurants will close = lockdown light if i get it right.api
- Well, we’ll see. I expect it will be a bit more robust than that. We’ll know after this meeting tomorrow.Continuity

- They're hitting the right buttons with this kind of thing. Conservative men want to "protect women"sarahfailin

- I didn’t get the feeling that the mom was dying. She seemed more apathetic towards her children.futurefood
- I get the message. Maybe it’s the acting that’s a bit phoned infuturefood
- I watched like 15s I can't watch anymore. Too much.

Which means numbers double every 20 days and we should get to the (dramatic) ICU peak in 25 days.

Can somebody launch a nuke or 2 onto that island.
- Is this real? Not going to check her twitter. If yes, please send nukes indeed.NBQ00

- Why is he choking Jay Leno Jr?Maaku
- Please be White Island.Nairn
- yes send nooksben_
- ^^ or that anthrax island off the NW coast of Scotland.face_melter
- neanderthaler islandneverscared
- @face - I thought the anthrax had died off there in the early 00s or something? If not - there too. A bit cold, I suspect. Better to be pelted by molten rock.Nairn
- They decontaminated it if I remember correctly, that's when they had to admit what went on there. But, you never know, anthrax can hang about for years.face_melter

White House science office says Trump ended COVID-19 pandemic as US hits record cases
- imbecile-1
there was a world series. dodgers won.
there was an nba championship. lakers won.
california must be proud of their 17,500 covid deaths.
they're probably sad they are second behind texas' 18,000.
(everything's bigger in texas, am i right?)
fun fact, the rays are from florida, where there are 16,500 deaths (third place!)go sports!
- none of the championship games played in their home states... NBA had a quarantine bubble in orlando...jonny_quest_lives
- Baseball World Series played in Texas with a limited fan base and cardboard cut outs. Football seems to be a disaster waiting to hapoen thoughjonny_quest_lives
- my point was that prioritizing sports appears synonymous with deprioritizing health and safety measures in these geographical locations.imbecile
- whether attendance led to transmission was irrelevant as bravado appears prevalent in areas affected by further spreading of covid 19imbecile
- https://www.latimes.…jonny_quest_lives
- also why are you singling out California?jonny_quest_lives
- Premiership Hasn't stoppedjonny_quest_lives
- https://www.premierl…jonny_quest_lives
- https://www.bundesli…jonny_quest_lives
- i'm not singling out CA. CA singled itself out being second in Covid deaths and first in two sports. they wrote their own priorities. i just noted them.imbecile
- it's a legitimate discussion to have... given that a player was pulled out in the 7th inning due to a positive test shows you can't protect players...jonny_quest_lives
- but largely California's lockdown has resulted in these bubble type setups... NBA, MLB UFC all holding out of state championship eventsjonny_quest_lives
- Rams have to play in an empty stadium:
https://www.dailynew…jonny_quest_lives - "CA singled itself out being second in Covid deaths and first in two sports. they wrote their own priorities." i don't even know what that meansjonny_quest_lives
- you make it seem as if California dictates what the MLB and the NBA do... At the state level there is a lockdown... so no attendance stadiums.jonny_quest_lives
- Disneyland is still closed.Most schools are remote learning We have the second highest death toll due to our large population not as result of lax lockdowns...jonny_quest_lives
- Califonia has 39.96 million residents 918,000 Covid Infections and 17,468 Covid Deaths.jonny_quest_lives
- current restrictions:
https://covid19.ca.g…jonny_quest_lives - if you don't know what I mean, why are you continuing to type your drivel? california could have made public safety a priority. quite obviously, it has not.imbecile
- go sports!imbecile
- Illuminate me on what California can do to Prioritize public Safety... I'v posted our current restrictions... The World Series Wasn't held here.jonny_quest_lives
- Trump is holding super spreader events with 20 thousand people crammed together meanwhile...jonny_quest_lives
- The 2020 World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays was played at Globe Life Field in Texas...jonny_quest_lives
- In front of 11,500 fans, or 25 percent of the park's capacity, to be exact.jonny_quest_lives
- so yeah California is totally out of line for that World Series held in Texas.jonny_quest_lives
- Curse them for prioritizing sports over health. Shakes fist at sky Lifts middle finger to Trolljonny_quest_lives
- Per capita California is actually doing quite well. Meanwhile the midwest is getting hammered.FNP14
- This reads like a turd clickbait Facebook post circa 2013. Isn't supposed to end with, "I bet I won't even get 1,000 likes."toemaas
- thank toemass for seeing that i'm not stating any correlatting information, just a few random facts that seem to irritate jqlimbecile
- i don't care that CA has a lower half per capita rate. 18,500 people died.18,500 real people. but hey, sports!imbecile
- not irritated in the slightest just not sure how sporting events held outside califonia contribute to the covid death rate here in california.jonny_quest_lives
- "hey people are dying who gives a shit about sports?" probably would have been better received as it's a blanket indictment of society as a whole.jonny_quest_lives
- i've had two coworkers lose family members to covid havent we've all been working remotely fornearly four months and there are a shitload more peoplejonny_quest_lives
- in worse shape than us so I wake up everyday somewhat amazed we are all still somewhat functional as our Federal government has left us hanging and our statejonny_quest_lives
- covid restrictions are all we got... no rent/mortage relief for people being laid off... shit is just dire all aroundjonny_quest_lives
- The Midwest getting hammered is false. Kansas, for example is far below CA per capita rates. Just the same. Dead. I’d rather 50% of 200 die than 1% of 5 millionimbecile
- Per capita is some trump loving nonsense to justify humans losing their lives.imbecile

Just read Germany is doing a “mini lockdown”, basically closing everything. Doesn’t sound like a mini lockdown to me.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Justin Turner pulled mid-game during World Series win after positive Covid-19 test. The Covidiot still celebrates with his teammates with plenty of hugs, kisses and tears.

My subordinate henchman is flying out to Spain tomorrow (he's from there and will be visiting his girlfriend and family) right as the country goes down the Covid shitter once again.
He pops into the office occasionally for meetings when we need to organise projects and workload as he has been working from home/remotely since all this kicked off but I'll tell him to stay the fuck away for at least two weeks when he returns. At *least* two weeks. The way things are going he might not be allowed to leave or get back into Sweden. I hope the flange is worth it. Silly fucking bastard.

Experts say a working Covid vaccine coming 2022 earliest. Get ready for another 1-2 years of this shit.
- *sigh*SimonFFM
- "experts"pablo28
- Funny how no one talks about the origins. I haven't heard of any mass Bat or Pangolin culling.shapesalad
- You'd think if they were the source of Covid they'd be a culling, to stop further outbreaks. But nope. So Lab leak it is then....shapesalad
- link ? 'news'here suggest otherwise...
https://mp.weixin.qq…d_gitale - Because they doubt that the first batch of vaccine will be successful.NBQ00
- UK may be vaccinating certain groups from December if trials continue to be all good. Rest of us will be rolled out April>June.microkorg
- It's a trap, money is king.ApeRobot
- If people wore masks, if we social distance correctly, lock down when necessary, and contact trace we should be able to get back to relative/new normal sooner.jtb26
- ^ this
Also, I very much doubt we’ll get anywhere close to a safe, effective vaccine before 2022, if at all.Continuity - Trump told us a few months months ago...the vaccine was only weeks away.utopian
- "why wear a mask, when i can just want all bats killed off?" christ, i hope you can't voteimbecile
- imbecile - bat culling, would be this: a bat in a region pass on a coronavirus causing a pandemic in humans. If all humans, wear lock down + mask for 6 monthsshapesalad
- ...whats to stop a further out break from the same virus coming from more bats?shapesalad
- Why do you think they kill pigs, cows, chickens when a virus epidemic spreads amongst them with the high risk of human infection?shapesalad
- If the source of illness was from an poisoned well, would you keep drinking from there? If the source of coronavirus is from bats in wuhan, why hasn't thereshapesalad
- been a localised cull, to stop further re-infections and species jumping?shapesalad
- If only people would stop eating and playing with Bats and Pangolins.utopian
- The virus is so widespread in humans already, would it really matter if someone got infected from a bat again?yuekit
- A new virus would obviously be a real concern but if SARS 2 was transmitted to humans again I'm not sure anyone would even notice at this point.yuekit
- according to that flawed logic, we should kill surrounding humans because some of them have diseases. i hope you can't and haven't procreated.imbecile
- culling is for controlled environments. I have lived in asia, seen the effects of these decisions first hand. murder a naturally migrating species? fruitlessimbecile
- There will be no real 100% efficient Covid vaccine.********

I said back in spring we should all follow Taiwan's playbook...
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/a…
Record 200 Days With No Local Case Makes Taiwan World’s Envy
"Taiwan holds the world’s best virus record by far and reached the new landmark on Thursday, even as the pathogen explodes anew in Europe and the U.S. Taiwan’s last local case came on April 12; there has been no second wave.
What did this island of 23 million people do right? It has had 553 confirmed cases, with only seven deaths. Experts say closing borders early and tightly regulating travel have gone a long way toward fighting the virus. Other factors include rigorous contact tracing, technology-enforced quarantine and widespread mask wearing."
- My Taiwanese friends/relatives, tell me all is normal, 70 and 80 year olds travelling the island, attending group activities. Restaurants etc all ok.shapesalad
- they barely survived sars-1, that‘s why they know the danger and also what to do as society...in the west, we are at stage1 of learning.uan

With the increasing cases of Covid, Germany is becoming Germ-many.
