Thai Spice Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Very interesting article in Asia Times on certain points that made East Asia handled this epidemy much better than most countries in the West. I dont attach importance to the numbers mentionned in part 1, it are more the explanations (historical, cultural, political) that are interesting and certainly valid. Why East beat West on Covid-19 East Asia has handled and contained the pandemic far better than the West on nearly all metrics Story is in 2 parts : https://asiatimes.com/2020/05/why-east-beat-west-on-covid-19/ https://asiatimes.com/2020/05/why-east-beat-west-on-covid-19-part-2/ Note that we are speaking about East Asia, not SEA ! Now, do I want to give up my freedom and switch to an authoritarian regime in the name of health safety ? I guess you know the answer already ....😁😁😁😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't. Think it is smart to call C19 a lie nor that we should have never shut down. It's easy to say that but we do not know what the situation would be like now if we had it locked down. Virtually every country have ordered lockdowns in varying severity. I wonder what the numbers in China would have if they had not put Wuhan on total lockdown?? I would rather base my opinions on what we know rather than what we don't know and either rely on conspiracy theories or I am alright Jack fuck everyone else theories We all have a choice but different choices can work against eachother. I hate the lockdown as much as anybody but I also love life. I am prepared to stick it out for a while longer as are many people. Sure a walk in the park is fine with distancing and being sensible But like it or not pubs, restaurants and large gatherings won't happen until it is considered safe and sensible which at the moment is being measured by the R factor. If that goes down and continues to do so then perhaps we could be back to almost normal by Autumn or we could open up to quickly or open up everything we could slip back to what it was 6 weeks ago As much as people think they know or cry freedom, we will have to wait to see whether lockdowns have reduced the spread. We all have the freedom to walk across a busy street with fast moving traffic, but only a few would try to cross without looking and most would use a traffic signal crossing or zebra crossing. It's about being careful and responsible. COVID 19 has no political affiliation 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Nope. Most of us have seasonal flu antibodies There is also a vaccine for flu. Many over 60s get it free from at a doctors surgery in UK That said, Spanish Flu infected over 500 million people with a death toll of over 50 million. That was just over a 100 years ago. Or is that a lie? https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/london-coronavirus-spanish-flu-infected-17954329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I could murder a proper English Sunday roast Dinner today. But can I go to a pub or restaurant to have it cooked and served for me? No. Boo hoo, sorry for me. I will just have to cook it for myself and wash it down with a Bottle of Merlot from Sainsbury's. A disappointment but no big deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Covid 19 coronavirus: Spike in cases as lockdowns ease in Australia 16 May, 2020 1:48pm Australia reported its highest number of new coronavirus cases in almost a month yesterday. Thirty cases were confirmed on Friday, two in Queensland, eight in New South Wales and 20 in Victoria, where two outbreaks at a McDonald's restaurant and meat processing facility continue to grow. In total, Australia has recorded 7035 cases of Covid-19: 3071 in New South Wales, 1554 in Victoria, 1054 in Queensland, 439 in South Australia, 554 in Western Australia, 226 in Tasmania, 107 in the Australian Capital Territory and 30 in the Northern Territory. The death toll stands at 98. As coronavirus restrictions continue to lift around Australia, the country is being warned the virus could "take hold" if people don't get themselves tested after a nurse slipped under the radar in Queensland. The nurse, who continued working through mild symptoms and took a trip to Brisbane, was diagnosed with the virus yesterday. Today, the state's chief health officer said this should serve as a warning the virus could resurge if people with even mild symptoms didn't come forward to get tested, despite only one new case being confirmed in the state overnight.
