Well, after this, I think EU would have a thorough plan what to do. I actually think that now, after the initial shock, the EU and the member states are doing the best they could in this tragic situation. 2020 has been a bitch sofar, not only to Madonna for her health issues, but to all of Europe...

We really didn't take this seriously. To be fair, this is a first in 100 years and the 1919 flu was amidst a war. This is going to be very dramatic in terms of deaths. I hope we can contain this and every ill person gets treatment. I see that stupid Johnson's has changed the strategy. May all deaths provoked by his stupidity be on his conscience forever.

Its tragic here too, we have under 100 people diagnosed (but the actual infected are much much MUCH more) and already 3 deaths... Yes I know its much much more tragic right now in Italy and Spain, but when you take in account how small our population is, we are not better off. Hope the warm weather kills this evil off SOMEHOW. I pray for that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billionaires never have done anything except enriching themselves. This crisis won’t change them. They’re just fine. Bezos still putting paywalls on articles in WaPo relating to coronavirus, while others are lifting them. Amazon (Bezos owns that, too) requiring mandatory overtime and their warehouse is filthy and workers are starting to test positive. Bezos does nothing. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/amazon-warehouse-employee-has-coronavirus/608341/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't get tested, now he'd be walking around infecting many others, so it's not a wasted kit! These celebrities are always traveling and getting in contact with a ton of people, they are actually bound to be the first to get it. Right i get that, but technically that kit could be used on someone who has symptoms. Its better to use it on someone who has symptoms so doctors can administer the correct treatment. Idris could have just social distanced or quarantined himself without being tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right The lockdown terms here in Italy will be extended well beyond the original set date of April 3, it is not official yet but they're hinting at it In the past 24 hours alone we've had 600 new deaths. The number of positive cases stands at 36,000 Some virologists and epidemiologists say that there are several strains of this COVID19. The strain that hit China is different than the strain that affected countries like Italy, Spain and Iran where the contagion seems to advance much more quickly and the death rate is significantly higher. Same for other European countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 By the way, China has the best PR and EU - the worst. It was today - from an interview of the commission president, that I found out that EU send a lot of materials, masks - tonnes actually, to China in January. China gave back the help she received this month. However no one bothered to inform the Europeans that the EU was active since the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC717 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 One of the most frustrating things about all of this has been how many people are saying, “Why the hell are people freaking out? Why should anyone be worried! The mortality rate is only 3 to 4%!”. Do these people not realize that even if you knock it down to 3% and assume that only 1 billion people out of the entire global population contract it, that is still 30 MILLION bodies? The societal, cultural and economic ramifications of that will be gargantuan, and last for generations. And of course you have the idiots comparing statistics from the end of each flu season or even the H1N1 epidemic to the beginning statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic, and saying how much worse those were and thus the media is just trying to “whip us in to hysteria for ratings over nothing”. Evidently calculating the difference in mortality rates and understanding that this IS only the beginning is beyond these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
