Lancet says the average time from infection until death is eighteen days, so we'll likely be on a steady exponential rise until early next week when the effects of the lockdown become apparent.

ThomasPaine posted:Oh yes they'll continue to be authoritarian and cadre-oriented, but I don't think it's entirely impossible that they engage in some successful redistributive policies. Perhaps naively, I don't think that the significant number of ultra-wealthy and often (implicitly) ideologically liberal democratic Chinese capitalists are considered particularly warmly by the CCP, particularly under Xi. Oh yeah, you're being super naive there. If a Chinese oligarch is ever on the outs with Xi, it's usually for the same reasons that a Russian oligarch would be on the outs with Putin. The upper echelons of the CCP are riddled with billionaires.

He may be thinking he can pull an Attlee here. I don't have a detailed enough understanding of the wartime coalition to get whether that's workable, though.

Chinese Gordon posted:Yeah the public execution of the CumDom would be entertaining, but there's a real danger that would allow the Tories to just blame everything on him and escape the disaster realtively politically unscathed. They need to own this and pay the price. The thing about this, though, is that most of the worst aspects of the UK's COVID-19 response are yet to really hit home. We have a healthcare system with high efficiency but low capacity, and a badly shredded social safety net. As soon as the rent freeze ends or the health issues we've been ignoring because of COVID-19 start piling up to a critical mass, poo poo is going to get extremely real.

Nothingtoseehere posted:They reported it yesterday, when it wasn't true. Their predictions subsequently happening doesn't not make an earlier report bullshit. While that's an excellent post-username combo, I feel the need to point out that Dominic Raab said he hasn't spoken to Johnson, the person supposedly running the government's COVID-19 response, since Saturday. We're pretty clearly getting news on a time-lag here.

Eh, Hamas of all parties managed to win an election that most of the regional powers that be were trying to rig against them by making sure people got food and medicine. Performing community service where the government can't and won't help is pretty effective.

learnincurve posted:I’m not sure I want to meet the Liberal Democrat voter who thought “I know, now is the perfect time to put in a passport application!” There's a depressingly large number of things where you need a passport as ID if you don't have a driver's license. Might have something to do with that huge spike in UC applications, unless they've changed the system since I checked last. Darth Walrus fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Apr 9, 2020 |
