duckmaster posted:If it is true then can they explain the stats? I'd guess the argument would be that the deaths disappeared into the normal winter respiratory deaths. I do wonder about this, to be honest. There were some super nasty bugs going around over the CHristmas period, including the one I and mmy wife both had that I wasn't aware I had until too late to stop passing it on to her, and which knocked me out for a good week or two and left me with a persistant cough for another couple of weeks. E: 208 years ago in 1812 a battle happened that inspired the only piece of music I'm aware of that uses loving cannons. Which, as a child, I heard live. With real cannons.

If the infection rate was as high as that model, how would so many tests have come back negative in the past few weeks? It's certainly much, much more widespread than the official positive test numbers say (we only need to look at S. Korea to know that's true) but half the population just doesn't make any sense. I mean, I would love it if the horrible 5 day fever and bad chest I had a few weeks ago was Covid because it would mean me and my family have already been exposed and gotten over it, but the out of hours GP I saw when I was sick dismissed it out of hand and said she'd seen a lot of whatever virus I did have around. Gotta assume she knew what she was talking about, and that she'd be able to see the difference between standard seasonal flu and this new thing.

Lots of not particularly politically engaged or aware folks on my Facebook posting things like 'let's get this over with so we can enjoy summer' and you know what they might be being optimistic but I'm just going to vibe with the idea we'll be back to some semblance of normality by July/Aug for my own sanity. fwiw I do think we're likely to be over the worst of it by then, though doubtful things will start being 'normal' again till the end of the year. Hopefully by September/October

Oh yeah, the leadership. I managed to get myself membered in time, but then had to submit proof I was on the electoral roll. Which made me thing, doesn't that mean you can't be a Labour member if you've lived outside the UK for 15 years? And don't Labour oppose that policy for UK voting?

thespaceinvader posted:No, this wasn't the flu, it was a dry chesty cough. Influenza is a family of viruses of which there are three or four most common in each flu season and those are vaccinated against. They generally mutate slightly which is why a new vaccine needs to be developed every year (sometimes more often as the southern hemisphere has a different flu season to the northern). One of the flu viruses going about during the 2019/20 flu season was a particularly nasty little bastard called A(H3N2) - the A stands for Australia so you may have heard it called "the Australian flu". They thought they'd got a lid on it after 2017/18 but it returned last year. One of the symptoms is a dry, chesty cough. Sorry, but you had the flu. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/...fkUMxfDU3j7ggl4

We are pioneering mass deaths along with a few other countries who have great healthcare systems, and our position as a world leader in this field will pay off come the Brexit negotiations.

Britain never totally cleans up its messes. We're still suffering for the brexit vote, for the financial crisis, there's a lot of fallout from Iraq and colonialism. The dissolution of the monasteries is still causing a bit of trouble in some areas, and a lot of this stems back to how we reacted when Rome fell. We never truly clean up our mess, just build it up like a thickening patina over the surface of the island.

I can well believe it, but I didn't have any of the other symptoms I would normally associate with flu.

Actually, conversely... why is the reported infection rate so *low* in this country? I know there's a fair few rich worried well getting tests, but as the NHS are apparently only testing people with shortness of breath bad enough to require hospitalisation surely the rate of positive results should be sky-high?

Borrovan posted:Why are billionaires hoarding all the PPE anyway There was no downside to wealthy companies stockpiling hundreds of thousands of masks back when they weren't being used in huge quantities. They're not particularly complex or expensive to make, the world just wasn't buying enough of them to prepare for disaster, and only buying them from China to save fractions per unit.

GPs don't tend to mention possibilites because people then insist on getting tested for it. There's little point in bothering to test you for whichever type of flu you've got or not got unless you're in a high-risk category. In which case you'd probably have been given (or at least offered) the vaccination in November.
