Coronavirus

A one shot vaccine. About time.  Hopefully performs well.

Just saw a bit of England playing India at cricket over there, stands were rammed. How are these 3rd World places not being hit like us.

Apparently the hotter the environment the less the chance droplets have of surviving long enough for others to inhale them, because they evaporate in the heat quicker. 

So all your African and south of the equator places have slower transmission. 

Plus they're tougher than Westerners, frankly.  Your typical Yank will throw a fit if they have to wear a mask, whereas an African is out in a locust swarm in 50 degree heat fighting for the last cornstalk while fending off raiders with a rusty pitchfork.

Plus their life expectancy is much lower than the West, average Covid death age is at least 10 years older than their life expectancy.

Terrible death rates in South America though.

Glasgow is like that but they still have high numbers. 

Hopefully it ripping through south america means that hibs cunt will croak it.

Lol, their life expectancy is not quite that low.

Although their obesity levels are no doubt much greater which will account for the high numbers.

40000 in a stadium that holds 110000 is hardly "rammed"

It’s all relative. We’ve got zero people in a stadium that holds 20000 ?

You're too negative... I think the quarantine has affected your mood more than you think. You've even stopped complaining about the immigrants, min. That's a sure sign of depression ?

Listen to your uncle Kelt... the vaccine will get us back to normality to a large degree, and we'll all be complaining that we can't get into pubs and restaurants because they're too fucking packed. 

I do worry that you're a bit depressed, though. I feel like you need a little shot in the arm, so to speak. 

For example, the immigrants paddling across the channel aren't going to be vaccinated. That makes you mad, right? 

You've not seen the disgusting enthusiasm for lockdowns, mask and social distancing we've got over here. There are people revelling in all this that'll keep it all going. 

Then there's yer 'long covid' mob. They'll still be chuntering on endlessly about how dangerous it all is. 

Im telling you there will never be an end to social distancing, there will always be council punters cutting about fining pubs etc until they just end up with big huge chain places that do food. Yer old fashioned boozer is fucked.

Yes, the vulnerable over there get wiped out early by the like of aids, malaria, Ebola, dengue fever etc. Covid is way down their list of concerns.

Meanwhile in the West we have the flu, pneumonia and maybe dementia if we live long enough.

The stands that had people in them had no social distancing,  they did have other empty stands. Wasn't like we had here with people sitting apart.

What about Australia and states like Texas and Caliornia where it's also roasting?  They should be more relaxed about it like the Indians and the Africans?

Fucking renovating a house, been tough going, like a homes under the hammer job, move in on Sunday, my body is broken. It's going to be beautiful but too old for this lark, getting there though and it was cheap. Could have easily turned it for a 30k profit but need somewhere to live.

Nae been keeping up we the hat gossip.

Thon Hamilton over here sliding about for 6 days, driving ubers, going to the high commission and interacting with hundreds of contacts, all while having the dreaded won’t-someone-think-of-the-children UK mutant virus and not a single person infected.

Same happened in Brisbane. 
 

Are we supposed to believe the virus has arrived here and decided it’s on holiday coz the weather is decent?

As I said yesterday, I'm not convinced that it just lurks in the air waiting for a host and on surfaces for a prolonged period of time. If some of the most unwell people in the country can be in the same room as positive people and be nursed by people in the PPE which may be covered in particles, and still not get it, it kind of makes a mockery of those people who hiss at you for touching things in the supermarket etc

Pretty sure I heard on my news podcast that the average age in Africa is just 26 years old.

I think the average age in Africa is even lower than that, around 20 years old.

In the UK it’s over 40 years old.

One thing that hasn't been communicated over here is that it mainly transmits through people touching their eyes, nose and mouth.  I think it was the Singapore health minister that explained this back in March/April last year, urged people not to touch those area unless of course their hands and face were clean.

Little wonder than that case rates went up when mask wearing became mandatory.....

Her speech on Tuesday and yesterday's daily briefing were as clear as the Fraserburgh breakwater. Even the congers avoid that area.

I do think masks help to a certain degree but then it comes down to those wearing them, how often they ficker with them, if they change them regularly or continually wear a dirty mask.  There's so many basic things that governments have failed to promote throughout this, failure to promote immune health a key one, think it's very poor that gyms can't open, from what I've seen of the gyms here they've put in great systems and protocols to ensure they operate in a safe manner.
