Lol the ft chart talks racistly about Japan naturally self isolating and wearing masks when out and about as a reason for their low numbers but 50k people queued to see the Olympic torch. They're just not testing people https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1241464031958970368?s=19

jaete posted:i wonder how risky cycling (in central London) would be, virus-catching-wise safer than cycling normally is cos there’s bugger all traffic assuming you have no symptoms, or other cause to be required to self-isolate? go for it. exercise will help you get through this. keep a respectful distance if you’re stopped at a junction with others. combine it with a groceries run so it’s not totally frivolous

pumpinglemma posted:Those carrots look steamed to me. Since when is it a working-class thing to buy a dedicated piece of cookware to make vegetables taste worse and blander than they would have done roasted, fried, or cooked in any other way including raw? You can steam carrots in the microwave, just clingfilm them into a bowl and then leave them to stand after a few minutes of microwaving. Works on most veg. Don't even need to add water since there's usually enough moisture in them anyway. Keeps ask the flavour in unlike boiling

Prince John posted:Wouldn't we expect the death curve to differ in shape from the cases curve if that was the case, like ours? It's generally suspected that they're attributing most of their deaths to regular pneumonia because they aren't loving testing, and a bunch of Japanese folks I follow are waiting for the other shoe to drop because the government has done sod-all.

forkboy84 posted:https://twitter.com/amhitchens/status/1241633227787337728?s=20 We're giving such wonderful people as Priti Patel and Cressid, a Dick, sweeping powers without associated review and accountability. The ordinary member of the public is going to think that this is fair and proportional, right up until the moment that it is applied to them, in which case they are going to think it is bullshit. Therefore it's not outlandish to assume that the burden of these laws will fall disproportionately on the poorest and most marginalized.

Guavanaut posted:He does present (though maybe not consciously) an interesting case, once you untangle it and think it through. I'm annoyed the conspiracy types haven't yet started using the term "Reichstag Virus", but nowadays they all think that a military takeover of the US would be a good thing so they can arrest Hillary. I know the libertarian Right were only ever a step from enthusiastic fascists, but I had no idea the step would be so short. Credit to Hitchens (and half-credit to Alex Jones) for keeping their worldviews consistent at least.

I don't believe this tbqh You don't go to the trouble of engaging in one of history's most incredible epidemic responses, shutting down a whole city and building hospitals in days, only to get the thing under control then shrug and say well that's enough of that time to shoot ourselves directly in the face. There are many in the West and West-aligned states (Taiwan, Japan, large sections of Hong Kong) who are just absolutely loath to credit the PRC with anything. It's always something sinister, or misleading propaganda, or whatever. Or maybe China just did it right and got the situation under control as a result.

Jose posted:A good twitter thread on how people aren't actually bulk buying Good points made. I also think everyone who is off work is hitting the supermarkets first thing instead of spread out through the day as normal. This gives the impression that everyone is going nuts and doesn't give people enough to time to restock the shelves.

Luckily it’s so easy to win a libel case in the uk provided there is no evidence that the claim is in fact true that are man Dom will be suing post haste, right? Or maybe he won’t because he knows it’ll lose in court and then it’s a matter of public record that he wanted all pensioners to die.

I wonder if this will remain relatively concentrated in London and the South East, or if we'll see similar numbers throughout the country in a couple weeks. I guess the capital's density, centralised economic areas where more people work, and cramped public transit does not work in its favour here.

Jose posted:A good twitter thread on how people aren't actually bulk buying I was thinking exactly this when I was doing my shop yesterday - I was laying in extra food because I'm no longer eating 5 lunches and 2 or 3 breakfasts a week outside the house, so my weekly shop was almost double what it normally is. Doesn't explain why there were no light bulbs though.

I guess the capital's density, centralised economic areas where more people work, and cramped public transit does not work in its favour here. The West Midlands are only a day or two behind London, with the top of the industrial coffin (Liverpool-Manchester-S. Yorks conurbation) and the north east only a week behind that. If you take London out of the equation the rest of England is *still* more densely-populated (and interconnected in terms of people travelling for work and leisure) than northern Italy. Everyone outside London apparently treating yesterday as a bank holiday will probably close that gap a bit more too.
