So, you test weekly 200k people (number easily handled in most western countries. You have a (low) posivity rate of 5%, i.e. 10k people each week. After 1 months thats 40k. And so on, because it goes exponential. So what you do every Sunday with the 10k people you diagnosticed positive ? Locke them up ? You cant, the facilities are not there. Impose self confinement ? You cant, you dont have the means to control they follow the rules. Etc etc .... So at a certain moment you proudly announce you have 1 million people positive.... What you do with them ? Because they DO continue to spread the disease. The whole "we have it under control" is 1000% B.S. Nobody has it under control. Every government cheats and avoid being obliged to say the truth. As simple as that. So fucking live with it ! Like I do. At the beach enjoying a drink, and tonight to the French cantine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is "zero" Covid cases, or even just a few isolated outbreaks, why all the precautions? Could it be..? Security theatre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunDon Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 My doctors surgery is one of two surgeries in his group and I was asked to visit one last Thursday for my yearly diabetes checkup. I was the only person in the waiting room and was seen by the diabetic nurse after about 5 minutes and had all the checks, which were fine. Got an SMS message this afternoon to say they’d closed that surgery because 3 of the staff had tested positive on Saturday for Covid, but I wasn’t to worry, as I’d not come into contact with any of them. Damn! there are only 4 staff there, so it seems I was lucky and was seen by the only staff member who didn’t have it. So, it’s down to 1 GP surgery now for a few weeks, during which time, the place will be deep cleaned, whatever that entails. 😟 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you name 2 that have infected over 40 million people and killed over 1 million people across the world in the past 10 months. With statistics of course.
