So another lockdown?

I see the tracing app is now live. I downloaded it this morning.

How does it work? Say I go to the shop and someone in the shop has it will I get a notification?

Bolsanaro is Brazil has the virus, let's see if he believes in it now.

Sweden now with 2 people in ICU
Deaths are almost zero a day
Testing is away up from what they were testing 2 months ago
Hospital admissions away down
Testing positive reminds the same
What does that tell us?
They now know how to deal with patients?
Or
Younger ones getting it? As not many going into hospital with it anymore

Might have mutated to a weaker strain perhaps?

i think thats the most likely.. i asked my relative (dr) a question yesterday regarding better treatment and she said treatment hasnt advanced much.

605,000 others have now done so.

Treatment hasn't advanced much, but with a bit of this and a bit of that the death rate may still have halved. The real difference is that there are now fairly effective measures in nursing homes and the like.

Might go the other way, he might brush it off and strengthen his resolve.

Hasn't done much for Boris either.

The app uses the phone to send out Bluetooth signals, which are acknowledged by other phones (which have the app) and stored for two weeks. If you test positive for Covid-19, you can then kick off a contact tracing process. As part of that process, the contact tracing person you're dealing with will ask whether you'll allow your phone's signal bank to alert others you've been in close proximity to. If you agree, you get a code, you enter it and then other phones with the app, which have been in close proximity to you over the last 14 days, will get an alert to say they were in close contact with someone who now has Covid-19.

Ross coming out with that line
Very predictable
Try telling that too zzzzzz
Try telling the lockdown wasn't needed to the young and healthy who have now lost jobs businesses lives and much more

A family member is a doctor and works with covid patients (also had covid), i relayed some of your posts to her and whats she thinks of you i couldn't post on here, put mildly she shares none of your opinions.

To be fair, she'd only be marginally more informed than Ashley Cole on this matter.

Other doctors are advising today through the Telegraph that there could be an additional 35k cancer deaths this year in the UK, due to missed and cancelled tests during Corona.

Personally I don't think any group should have a platform to promote their wild, panic inducing theories  until there is genuine evidence to back up their numbers. It's scaremongering and it's shit.

But let's assume for a few seconds that they're even half right. How do the "close everything down, and keep it closed" wing of Covid analysts feel about this? There was always going to be a medical trade off for the measures taken to control Covid. Given that these people feel completely justified to condemn the actions of any individual who doesn't follow rigid guidelines, would someone who finds out today that they've had cancer spreading for the past 3 months, be within their rights to condemn these people back?

Some people wouldn't be happy unless everything was closed for an eternity, everyone had lost their job and we were all eating wild berries and drinking our own urine.
Lockdown Fascists.

I imagine the wobbler will go nuts when he sees this post.

Oh wait, he didn't.

Funny that!

Hopefully for Brazil's sake he gets a right dose of it.

Right-wing America is being led by donkeys

Tucker Carlson March 2020

"Of course, masks work," he said. "Everyone knows that. Dozens of research papers have proved it. In South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, the rest of Asia -- where coronavirus has been kept under control -- masks were key."

Tucker Carlson July 2020

Tucker Carlson says masks and social distancing "have no basis of any kind in science. It's like a kind of bizarre health theater"
