The definition of insanity, as you know, is posting in the same thread over and over and expecting different results.

Worse, people might be infectious 2-3 days before they show symptoms too.

No matter, all the poo poo people wear is like catching mosquitos with a fishing net. Sicherheitstheater for a false safety, based on misunderstanding a study result. Keep the distance, wash your hands, far more useful.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Rubrik: es war ja eigentlich klar

ich kann meinen Urlaub nicht umplanen (und alle Kollegen auch nicht), d.h. ich maloche damit ich nach Ostern eine Woche zu Hause mich isolieren kann und dann wieder zurück in die Bresche...

I've tallied up that with my Zwangsurlaub this week, my regular Urlaub in April and the Kurzarbeit-Zwangspause I have to do in May, I will have been self-isolated for a full 5 weeks by then. In the same time span, I'll have worked 4 days and 2 weeks.

Hopefully I can keep myself busy, long time with no Human contact tends to make me progressively more morbid and depressed. :sigh:

Show the study that's being misunderstood and qualify your claim. Given that you are currently disagreeing with extremely basic physics and haven't even qualified if you're talking about protection for wearer or from wearer, it's highly likely you're spreading misinformation.

Depending on the circumstances, more useful and important, yes. In a very wide range of basic everyday situations, vastly undercut in effectiveness by a lack of mask wearing.

In a time where a pandemic that you "love because of huge market losses" is fixing to kill hundreds of thousands, affect millions, and destroy the livelihoods of even many more millions, one would think you'd reconsider your dumb unfunny "dunking on posters" schtick, op

But hey, that's not you, is it? Gotta keep up that privileged edgeposting and dunking, lol @ people suffering/dying/losing their existence all over the world because ~sick dunks~, right?
Mmmh, yeah, gotta dunk on that poster that is advocating covering your face to protect others, yeeah, maybe pretend he's hoarding masks, no wait, that he's profiting from masks and only promoting them for personal game, poo poo yeah, that's gonna be hilarious, mmmh, gotta make sure to respond to everyone that calls my dumb poo poo out as having a meltdown lol, oh, and probably use "op" some more, yeeeah, that'll put the edge on it.

He's living in Berlin, that's punishment enough

Whenever Oliwan posts dumb poo poo, I just remind myself that he is living in Berlin and go "Ah, yeah. That poor bastard. That explains everything."

Switzerland not managing to flatten the curve at all. At this point I’m no longer just worried about my dad (over 70, multiple sclerosis), I’m actually wondering when I might see him again, because he’ll have to remain in isolation until this poo poo is firmly under control and that’ll take a long time yet.

Seems like numerically Switzerland is somewhat flattening the curve. How do things look like on the ground?

The Chefredakteur of the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger weighs in on this bitch https://www.ksta.de/koeln/coronavirus-in-koeln-wir-haben-nicht-alle-zeit-der-welt-36474254

quote:

Wenn ich mir vorzustellen versuche, wie die Wirtschaft den „Lockdown“ über einen langen Zeitraum aushalten soll, dann merke ich: Das ist unvorstellbar.

Nicht, weil mir die Fantasie oder der volkswirtschaftliche Verstand fehlten, sondern weil – im Gegenteil – jedem auch nur halbwegs Informierten klar sein sollte, dass der gegenwärtige Stillstand bald ein Ende haben muss, wenn es kein schreckliches Ende nehmen soll. Denn „die Wirtschaft“ ist ja nicht eine abstrakte Größe oder ein anonymer Moloch, sondern die Existenzgrundlage von uns allen.

To be fair, we’re doing a shitload of testing. That has to drive the numbers up, no? Anyway, this is the most accurate tracker for Switzerland and it’s not looking great: https://www.corona-data.ch

People are mostly sticking to the government‘s directives and showing a heartwarming amount of solidarity here. I’m low key enjoying all my favorite restaurants transforming themselves into delivery services, perfect for my antisocial rear end. Also, I quite like Tele-teaching using Zoom.

It did take quite a bit of convincing to get my boomer parents to understand the severity of this crisis, what is it with that generation slowly morphing into a death cult???

Twitter implies that Jens Spahn (CDU) might have failed to see the signs pointing towards a dire lack of personal protection equipment for medical staff.

I am besides myself that the man who reassured us that Covid-19 would not lead to anything affecting our day-to-day lives and funnels millions into weird Christian studies on abortion might be a bad at his job as a Minister of Health.

Anybody with a TV can confirm/deny the stuff about the PPE shortage?

A friend of mine who works as a supermarket cashier just told me that she's had a costumer who was wearing gloves and tried, unsuccessfully, to pick a bill, then lick their fingers to better pick the bill with, then hand the bill over. We just love to see it, folks, don't we. The supermarket in question was a (guess first, then unspoil!) Bio Company.

08.00 Uhr: Der Präsident der Deutschen Krankenhausgesellschaft geht davon aus, dass Deutschland in der Corona-Krise vorerst keine Situation wie in Italien droht. „Ich bin sehr zuversichtlich, dass wir es zumindest für die nächsten zwei Wochen schaffen werden, italienische Verhältnisse zu vermeiden“, sagte Gerald Gaß dem ZDF-„Morgenmagazin“ am Freitag.

Allerdings müssten die Ausgangsbeschränkungen eingehalten werden, betonte er. „Wir müssen Anfang, Mitte nächster Woche sehen, dass sich die Kurve abflacht, damit die Zahl der Patienten nicht ins Unendliche wächst, denn dann ist auch ein so gutes System wie in Deutschland bei allem Engagement der Krankenhäuser überfordert.“

08.32 Uhr: FDP-Chef Christian Lindner hat die Debatte über Lockerungen der coronabedingten Einschränkungen begrüßt. Das sei ein „positives Zeichen“ für die Menschen im Land, sagte er am Freitag im Deutschlandfunk. Wann dafür der richtige Zeitpunkt sei, müssten aber die Gesundheitsexperten entscheiden. Dennoch sollte das staatliche Handeln auf die Frage gerichtet sein, wann es wieder ein normales Leben geben könne. Auf Dauer seien die Beschränkungen „untragbar“ auch für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung im Land.
