What kind of measures did Slovakia not take yet?  

[heywoodu 15,141]

Oh and American news channels having almost literally non-stop BREAKING NEWS  I know Americans fap their brains out on 'BREAKING NEWS' and all-caps headlines and stuff, but it's just not 'breaking' if it goes on forever

+61 in Croatia today.

 

We climbed from 100 to 300 in about three days. Oh, and had an earthquake somewhere in between.

To be fair, if they really had only 8 cases in two days, then they deserve no criticism, even from Heywood.

Many countries are clearly not testing enough as the numbers are not exploding as they are practically everywhere else. Japan's figures are the biggest joke of all

Yet, until this is far behind us and they can say how much damage the incredibly tight precautions and restrictions have caused. Those restrictions are much less tight here and still there's already a boatload of people losing their jobs and stuff like that.

I thought Slovakia only had +7 yesterday and +1 today.

 

But still 60 new measures? Are we missing something?

 

Well, the numbers from the last 2 days are a bit confusing.

 

+7 from tomorrow was because they tested only the repatriated citizens in the special quarantine facilities,

 

that 1 single todays case is from the early morning tests session (only tests provided until 10 AM were counted in this session) so todays amount is not to take seriously, we don´t have the real todays results yet. they should be announced tomorrows morning before the crisis meeting will resume.

 

Now for the 60 measures. yes. The new PM who started his mandat yesterday as you know, ordered to every minister of his cabinet to come today to his first extraordinary crisis meeting as prime minister with ideas and measures to fight the spread of the virus in their own departmenets + himself want to present a couple of his ideas and measures. so that´s why there 60 new measures that are considered and negotiated in this meeting and since every one is solved separately, it last so long time that they have to continue the meeting tomorrow.

For example in the Netherlands, the official numbers can be found on this website and the daily news update includes this paragraph at the end:

 

Quote

The real number of infections with the new coronavirus is higher than the number mentioned here. This is because not everyone with a possible infection is being tested, but especially those patients who are so sick they have to go to the hospital and people who work in healthcare.

The entire world is getting blown out of their safety bubble, that's all. We haven't had a real global crisis since the fall of the Iron Curtain and everyone's more interested in vegan diet than real health crisis. Let's face it, nobody was ready for this and that's why we struggle like that.
