[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

[nitinsanker 208]

Trump continues to find new enemies!! 

 

The WHO really blew it," the president wrote on twitter, "For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?"

 

 

India has banned the export of a drun hydroxychloroquine because we need it for our own response 

 

Trump also warned of retaliation if India did not take up his request to lift the hold on US orders of the antimalarial drug.

“I said we’d appreciate you allowing our supply to come out. If he doesn’t allow it to come out, that would be okay but, of course, there may be retaliation,” Trump said. “Why wouldn’t that be?”.

 

 

this man is so very obnoxious

People already use a bunch of apps to track their kids and spouses in the US. It’s a really problem, but I’m fairness it’s a not a priority to solve in terms of social issues. It’s in the middle of a rather long list unfortunately 

 

Oh well, if you use an app to track your spouse, it's pretty clear what your relationship is built on...and it ain't good.

We have in  435 new cases and the biggest jump of number of deaths since beginning with new 22(!!) cases  Total numbers are now 4848 cases, 129 deaths and 191 recoveries.

Except that everyone is doing it now! It’s insane (but also a really fun social/communicational issue to study)!

It's not 'except that', it simply means there's a shitload of people in relationships with people they don't actually even trust

the problem is that in France, no one respects the Convention, and our government is too lax and does nothing to prevent people from sorting

I think one of your problems also was that you did very few tests initially (the same is true for GB and the US), so for most of the time your government had no clue how widespread the epidemic actually was.

The issue is that the disease is going to spread (and it’s actually better if it spreads now (though more gradually would be ideal). So I think France, UK, and US are somewhat in the right here. I actually think countries like Slovakia are setting themselves up for colossal outbreaks later on. Of course that all comes down to when a vaccine is developed, and how long it take the disease to progress.

I think though a lot of countries are buying time if that’s possible. There might be another wave coming but hopefully there can be advances in terms of treatment, knowledge of the virus, more preparedness and eventually a vaccine. Maybe they will run out of time before another wave hits but I think it’s worth taking this chance than just doing nothing or too little in the first place.

I think you are not understanding the facts, we are not USA, we are a very small country with limited resources, let me explain to you why we are doing what we do and why we imposed radical measures and regulations from the beginning.

We simply have to eliminate any eventual outbreaks in its beginning, so far we are hopefully still able to manage to avoid the spread among the populaton, meaning so far we were still able to quickly find all relatives, colleges and persons in contact with every positive patient and by immediate quarantining prevent the spread. BUT if by some unhappiness we´ll fails and someone will majorly spread the virus, we will be definitely lost and doomed, no one will help us.

 

we just have to do only with what we have, we do not have much things, just the masks and discipline. Trust me no one is happy that our borders are closed, that foreigners (tourists) have not been able to enter the country for more than a month now, our kids will probably return into schools only from September, shops are closed, we can not gather or just go do or watch hockey or for instance any other sport and our economy is collapsing (we are losing 70 millions EUR per day)

 

but we simply cannot open up ourselves and leave it as you and the other western european countries did, we are not so rich,

no one in the west has even idea or even want to know that a country like Slovakia exist..we would all die within weeks.
