No respect need. She is a hypocritical nutcase, the Andrew Bolt of the feminist world.
US a thousand new cases overnight. They are going to be Italy, but on an American scale. The numbers will multiply quickly now. This is going to be very bad.
The fact that you are very contagious way before symptoms occur make it virtually impossible to stop. Theres probably tens of thousands of healthy people walking around spreading it now. Self isolating when you feel symptoms is too late.
Correct which is why time will tell if we and the rest of the world have gone down the wrong path.
The path taken in Europe, the US and now Australia is not following China / South Korea and even Singapore / Hong Kong. Its a half arsed version of what they have done as we are not testing on mass, therefore make it very hard to stop.
Adds more fire to the herd immunity strategy as that would ring fence those most at risk from those that are exposed to the virus.
Personally think we are going down an approach that will be hard to stop, and are then fully exposed to the economic / social disaster that will follow it.
I simply don't understand why we're not being more proactive to shut this thing down now.
Interesting month ahead..
Why is it funny?
Current death rate is almost 4%. For 50,000 deaths, that's 1.25 million infected, or 5% of the population. They reckon it's more like 40-70% of the population will become infected at some point. So, without a cure or vaccine, 50,000 deaths is a very conservative estimate.
Love how stats come to play their game in these matters. With China and Italy hit the hardest at avg 2600 deaths, how could we possibly have at least (!) 50,000 with such a lower population than those 2 countries. What size are we, Tasmania?
I like my Ouzo Dell but even that’s too much Ouzo for one old GREEK!
Oh you meant Euros!
You’ve got Ouzo on your mind !
