Ongoing coronavirus happenings

Speaking of which:

(The always-amusing Google Translate: “FHI has today decided that they will not change their advice on the use of mouthwashes. The European Infection Protection Agency has asked several countries to consider advising people to use mouthwash outside, but FHI says this is not relevant as of now.” Munnbind=facemask, not mouthwash!)

Things are quite calm here in Finland, thankfully. We’ve got a left-centre government coalition (Social democrats, Greens, Left alliance, Centre, and Swedish People’s Party) with a SD prime minister, and in my opinion they’ve struck a very good balance between decisive action and making sure everything’s legal and constitutional. :slight_smile:

The opposition’s behaving overall reasonable during this crisis, too, which is more than I expected from some of them!

Probably one should wear trousers too.

Is that the title of HRC’s new book?

Interestingly, in today’s news here:

(“Sweden’s state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell believes that the country is now approaching a level where one begins to see herd immunity against the coronavirus.”)

Speaking of Mr. Hanage:

There have been more than 93,000 cases of Covid-19 identified in the UK. Let’s round that up and say it is 100,000. So if the reports from the BMJ editorial are accurate, the actual number would be that multiplied by five, in which case there would have already been half a million infections in the UK. If this really is the peak and we see as many cases on the way down as on the way up, that would total 1 million infections from the initial surge in the UK – hopefully all of those people would then be immune.

That would leave about 65 million people in the UK still without immunity.

Just wait until he sees a supermarket scanner for the first time. Mind. Blown.

Those protestors should take the time to drive over to Fox News’ headquarters and hang out with the staff and personalities there. Let’s see how long Fox would continue to air anti-social distancing messages after that

“Bridge liquidity”

That says all you need to know.

That’s what’s at the foundation of everything Trump does: desperately trying to keep enough balls in the air that he doesn’t have to pay off all his liquidity loans at the same time.

People getting a one-time payment of $1,200 to supposedly make up for millions of jobs disappearing overnight are not people who are concerned about things like bridge liquidity.

I thought that was what Vlad arranged for him in Moscow hotel rooms.
