Have spent a lot of time in India and have a lot of friends there. The SkyNews clips earlier are genuinely heartbreaking to see. They really don't stand a chance - despite all of the perceived "progress".

Only a few years ago India spent 10s Of millions on a campaign to get people to put their **** in the nearest toilet and flush it down.

True.

I watched him say it, can't believe he said that, he actually said "are the masks going out the back door?"
Does he not understand that they'll be using more masks in a hospital due to a respiratory pandemic. What a knuckle head.

Such a beautiful country having visited several times myself but a real unfairness and ridiculously impoverished population for a nuclear powered country. I fear for them over the next few weeks

874,000 tests performed in the US.

They'll probably be the best country to have the most accurate death rate

What happens to the professor if he's wrong? Does Angela write him a strongly worded open letter saying his advice was poor?

Watching the USA press conferences over the past few days/weeks, the military speakers are much more convincing than any government officials.

The US is gonna kill it with the testing at the very least. They're supposedly rolling out a 15 minute test created by Abbott, that's a really positive development. I hope it works well, it could be a game changer.

Makes some good points, re data and decision making.

But he's pushing an agenda of pollution being the driver of the Italian death rate, on that point his assumptions don't hold up as the pollution level comparisons are not backed by the actual pollution level data

Fair play to them for giving everyone else such a huge head start such is the administration's certainty they'll kill it.

They'll probably be brilliant in terms of testing, but I'd be extremely worried about treatment.

Trump talking testing which is good but it's the death toll that's going to be surging in a few days from now and Americans will be paying closest attention to that.

Mervyn Skidmore

Very worrying from Trump, damage limitation speech already. Saying that without any intervention 2.2 million would die. As long as they come in under that death rate, he'll be declaring a massive success.

912 new cases in Florida so far today.

I don't think so. Breaking a curfew like that could lead to the deaths of others. Getting a few slaps of a stick is a good deterrent

And the journalist he accused of being threatening simply repeated his words from an interview he gave to Hannity back to him.

Something I was thinking about and not a nice train of thought but maybe something to talk about. So this virus attacks those of us that are weak in the main, I hear about various young people with no underlying conditions etc but mainly the elderly. I saw something were in the UK it was said these people would probably have died anyway this year. So you group all those and the others that are statistically outside of the median age who may have unknown conditions. Again and this is a non personal post just a post about the virus and it's morbidity. After all this is over and purely looking at statistics, if you look at the normal death rate in a year and now with the virus. Again not saying we shouldn't fight this virus or downplay it.

Why can't some people accept any promising news, and instead have to get all disappointed and frantic by putting so much negative spin and speculation on any positivity.

It is getting very fcucking tiring on this thread.

Because this place is a morass of negativity.

It's a sess pool of people just constantly giving out about the government, and the authorities, and the "elites" whatever the fcuk they are.
As another poster said any good news and people claim that we are lied to, any bad news and the government are a joke.

And there is always so "bogeyman", whether that be the mean greedy boss that will not make someone work from home, or the guy who went to Cheltenham, or the person who went skiing in Italy and was home long before a case was even recorded in Italy.

I hope they called Gardaí and that action was taken.

I mean that’s up there with deliberately contaminating food or consumer goods.

I wish I had that info. I’ll ask my mother next time I’m talking to her. We got distracted. I'm mad on behalf of my late 60s mother too in addition to the cashier.

Which is the safest store to food shop in? Aldi, Lidl, Iceland, Tesco, Dunnes or Supervalu? I mean as in cleanliness, distance, crowds etc?

Supervalu seem to be doing a very good job in terms of disinfecting and general cleanliness.

I find it’s different in each town. The dunnes in my by town is by far the best for health safety.
You can only enter in one door and you’ve to wait until the security guard gets a call on his walky talky then he lets you in and there’s a table of gloves and antibacteria gel for you to use. They’ve all the tills open even though there’s not many in store so I haven’t had to stand in a queue yet. You leave through a second door and there’s a bin for the gloves and more gel for your hands.

The dunnes in the town beside me is a lot more over crowded. I find night time the best time to go.

There’s a Wikipedia page I’ve looked at for a long time -‘Deaths in 20xx’ - which lists the notable deaths from a given year. On the ‘Deaths in 2020’, it’s been interesting to see the COVID-19 deaths appearing and the ages. Not all elderly people. The earliest entry on it that I noticed was way back in February.

In the beginning, there was Genesis:

Wrapped up in some powdered wool-I guess I'm losing touch.
Don't tell me I'm dying, 'cause I ain't changed that much.
The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am,
Some kind of jam?
Cuckoo Cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?
