Covid-19

Just under the radar in Victoria is that the top mob may be recalled to the commission of enquiry. The “l dunno, wasn’t be” excuse has been apparently exposed as an email has surfaced from a secretary with all the those who claim ignorance patched in to it. I hope they all lose their jobs for causing so much angst & economic vandalism.

Just caught the Vic govt. is going to set up another enquiry into their contact tracing failures. Bring it on!

Europe has been sucking hard for the last couple of months. While I was in Germany just last month, Switzerland and Austria went on the no-go list, and Spain was soon following.

If I were a betting man, (and I am) I would say nothing happens before Christmas. Too important to the economy.

Would not be at all surprised if whomever takes office in January, drops the “nationwide shut down” bomb three minutes later.

So, none of us our experts on this virus, but turns out no one else is either. With that in mind, when do you think the bull of the hysteria/concern around the virus will subside and we restore normalcy?

A) Novermber 4
B) Within 6 months
C) Within 1 year
D) 1 to 5 years
E) 5+ years
F) Never

It's hard to say, it depends on how soon they can field the vaccine. My guesstimate? Within a year, but probably no less than 6 months. Then we'll see a lot of lockdown start lifting because they'll have the vaccine out probably.

I am still perplexed at the mismatch between shutting down society and locking down the economy balanced against the virus with a 99% survival rate.

This is promising. I fully expected any vaccine to need multiple boosters a year. Get your quarterly Rona shot...

Truthfully I think that lies with the outcome of the elections. I won't say 4 Nov because I doubt we'll have a winner. But if Trump holds on, I think normalcy will happen before next summer. Call it April or May 2021. If Harris makes it in? Who knows.

Maybe this is what we have to look forward to?

Yeah, fuck that. LOL.

Forget the Q-Tip to the brain, just test our shit.

Too true, there’s positive samples in my cities south west, probably asymptomatic.

“The worst case scenario is a new pandemic, starting all over again out of Denmark,” said Kare Molbak, director at the State Serum Institute.

This is the type of scenario that brings the coronavirus into 1918 influenza league. A tad concerning to read this.

One good thing about the election: we aren't being bombarded with 'Rona "news."

Let's just say that the people who run the University of Manchester (UK) are bumbling idiots. Mid last month a student takes their own life. And then last night, they installed a lockdown fence. After the angry reaction from students and parents this morning the University admin was like: "Oh, sorry, we stupid, we'll take it down." The student body said, no, we'll take it down for you.

Definitely seems like a very detached governing body; too insulated during their thinking process
