Damn, new record

Britain records 492 Covid-19 deaths in highest daily toll since May

Figures show the number of lab-confirmed victims today is the most since 500 were announced on May 19. More than 1,000 Brits succumbed to the disease each day during the peak of the first wave.

[The Nature Boy]

Yup, yup. But the link also does mention

“Britain today recorded another 492 Covid-19victims in the highest daily death toll since May — but infections are no longer spiralling.”

Just mentioning that for completeness sake

So again, damn, that’s a lot

Even marky Mark meadows says it’s cwazy. He even threw in towel on Tv

Covid-19: Virus is out of control, White House admits

As cases of covid-19 in the United States continue to surge, the scientific adviser to the president has suggested that the time may have come to mandate mask wearing. The White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, admitted on 25 October that covid-19 infections were out of control in the US...

Although if you wear a mask, practice social distancing, wash your hands, u can come out safely from the inside of the closet to the outside. Especially if there’s low virus circulating in your community

The article also says: " Revellers packed out pubs this afternoon as they get the last rounds in before England nosedives into a second lockdown. Britons today also stocked up on clothes and homeware, getting ready for their last night out and squeezing in a final gym session for what is the 'last hurrah' for millions."

Yup, yup, that will help the count. Oh well, not a bright bunch those brits. Must be the uneducated working class. I hear from another thread that that group doesn't make good decisions.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Sounds like UK actually acknowledging presence of an airborne highly transmitted pathogen that may kill lol

LET ER RIP!!

 

[The Nature Boy]

Wasn’t there a study that recently showed secondary to a planes filtration system its highly unlikely to get transmission on plane?
I think if your gonna be tested before you get on, after you get off and you will be in relative isolation like on a beach in Turks and Caicos for 10 days, why not?

 

[The Nature Boy]

Wow, not even trying to be sarcastic, this is a lot of infections. Totally reflective of an administration ignoring COVID

The US surpassed 116,000 daily new COVID-19 cases, again breaking the record for highest single-day count

Experts have warned the US is entering the deadliest stage of the pandemic, as case counts and hospitalizations continue to sharply rise.

What will sleepy joe do to make the #’s better? Lol, just about anything.

Trump is president for another 2 months and then some most likely. With 100000+ infections a day you may see a shit show in terms of hospitalizations and deaths in a few weeks that trump dumps on Biden?

Montreal - Quebec should have done more, sooner in schools to stave off 2nd wave, experts say

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-schools-second-wave-1.5791616

“A month after school started, cases were surging. Did the province do enough?...

Dr. Earl Rubin, director of pediatric infectious diseases at the Montreal Children's Hospital, said schools clearly played a role in the resurgence of the virus in September.

CBC News spoke to two other experts who also linked the reopening of schools to the September spike.
Rubin said the failure to make masks compulsory in the classroom from the start of the school year contributed to the spread of the virus...”


^^”failure to make masks compulsory”

The Kids wouldn’t wear them?
No one wants to be forced, to do a lot of things. I don’t want a Mask debate. I wear a Mask.


“In an effort to nudge infection rates downward, the government announced Grade 9 students will be taught remotely every second day, a measure that already applies to students in Grades 10 and 11...”


^^I wonder with Remote Learning, how many Students have Good/Adequate Internet access?


“Montreal Public Health Director Dr. Mylène Drouin, however, has warned that schools remain a problem, saying last week they account for most of the city's outbreaks...”



***I MISS NORMALCY***

 

[The Nature Boy]

Marky Mark Meadows has covid. Covid, covid, covid. 125,000 new infections today. Hopefully sleepy joe will keep the White House from being a Petri dish for covid

 

[Fradi]

Never fear Biden is here.
It will all be under control in no time.
He is president for all Americans and believes in the scientists even if they sometimes say masks are not necessary and then change their mind and say it is essential.

Somehow though when the US reaches the 1 million death tally it will still all be Trumps fault, and CNN will be praising the Democrats and waving blue flags made in China of course.

 

[Fradi]

Here is how ridiculous some of the red zone restriction rules are.

A high school teacher spends all day with 25-30 kids ( it is only recently that they have to wear masks) he spends hours in the staff room with other teachers during breaks in his teaching schedule. Kids are bunched up against each other and next to him in the corridors when entering and leaving.
However he cannot allow any of the same teachers or kids into his home or backyard without facing a $1000 + $500 in administrative costs fine if he is living with a wife or girlfriend.

It is now in all the papers that schools are spreading the virus much more than restaurants, bars and gyms, but our politicians are doing their best to hide this from the public as they were the ones insisting on keeping them open.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Oh there you go again Fradi with the whole mask Fauci stuff. By the time trump leaves, he will have handed sleepy joe 150000 new daily infections. But it’s not his fault cause you can’t control it, can’t even try.

 

[Fradi]

How is the controlling part working for you in the UK.
Is that Trumps fault too. I would love to blame Quebec’s horrible death rate on him too.
Now you will be able to ask the US to loan Sleepy Joe to you or at least benefit from his wisdom in between stuttering or when he remembers that as President he has to now make decisions that he may be held accountable for later instead of just running his mouth off as he pleases.

 

[The Nature Boy]

How is the controlling part working for you in the UK.

Well, we are getting there luv, thanks for asking. I think Borris not having rallies with thousands not wearing masks and holding super spreader events may be of some help

Five things you need to know about the coronavirus pandemic this Friday evening.

[Fradi]

Glad things are working for you although there are many news clippings that clash with each other.
My interpretation of a stabilization of 50,000 new cases a day and still rising is nothing to write home about or apply for a medal.
If in your opinion that is a glass half full you are far more of an optimist than I am.
Perhaps the ass kicking Boris got from the virus helped his thinking and at least he is trying hope it works out for him and for all of you, I would much rather be agreeing or disagreeing with you if MU needs a new manager or not than discussing if 50,000 new cases a day is an improvement or not and something to be happy about.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Why does everyone diss ole!?!?

 

[Fradi]

Why does everyone diss ole!?!?

Perhaps because he has them in an enviable 15th position.
I am optimistic though as this position seems to have stabilized.
Loved him as a player, but even much better ones than him like Maradona made a lousy manager.
Guess the hand of god only blessed them as players.

Yesterday in USA

127,OOO new cases and 1,200 deaths, it's more and more

 

[IamNY]

^^^^This is true for most of the world right now. Even Canada has seen nearly double the new positive cases for COVID. My state of NY still has a positivity rate of less than 2% while our neighbor NJ has nearly an 8% rate. What does that mean? I have no idea, but I do know that the entire world is surging right now no matter how they have tried to stop the spread. As long as the death rates are still relatively low we are all just going to have to ride this out until a vaccine arrives. By then my forearms are going to be huge.

 

[IamNY]

As more and more countries and states require a negative COVID test to enter I bet we are going to see a lot more of this:

Winter will help COVID-19 spread more easily, experts say — here's what they suggest you do about it
https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5788154
“ When a virus is exhaled, it begins to break down right away. But the colder it gets, the slower that process is, says a Toronto epidemiologist — and that may help the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 spread. ”



^^Yes, Great, more bad news.
F^cking COVID!
I’m just going to Hibernate until Spring.
I need to get My Flu Shot. I always wonder if that Shot even helps(?). You get the Shot, and then they report the Strain didn’t cover XYZ.

STILL waiting for that “Miracle COVID Vaccine”.
