Controversial opinion
> Imperial people are the some of the best infectious disease modellers on the planet,” Paul Hunter at the University of East Anglia, UK, told New Scientist last week. “But it is risky to put all your eggs in a single basket.”
Seems unlikely that things will peak in a couple of weeks time tbh
why do you say that? it's been said consistently that we're a few weeks behind italy
italy is slowing somewhat
it seems
Italy still hasn't peaked and has been reporting about 5000 cases every day for over a week now
someone on AAs stream yday was saying they don't think Italy is really like this
you would need to lockdown for 2 months
they think it's some attribution scam
I'm not sure there would be much of a country left after that
I don't even know if we can say that Italy is slowing down
i don't mean peak, the epidemiologist does
i just posted an article
could be due to a finite number of test kits
i'm not sure
What's an attribution scam
Italy's reports
I've been following this since the start. I think this is merely the 1st wave. There's no immunity or way to reduce infections from spiking aside from lockdowns
there's also been reports of new mutations, and random young people dying really fast
prepare for the long term, there will be "no summer"
well the government has proven quite adaptable so far so if it turns out it's only the first peak
i'm sure they'll adapt
another lockdown i guess
> @faultfiction why couldn't the state encourage native births?
@Leohte
Ah so you morons want the state to intervene in births too. Peaking levels that haven't been discovered yet
businesses will not last, people and companies have rent to pay
Don't say 'you morons' if you're talking about Leohte please. he doesn't speak for everyone here
by a long shot
IIRC, the Imperial college of London report more or less says that we're going to need intermittent lockdown for the next 18 to 30 months
it would be more intelligent to fully lockdown for 2 months and close borders
in theory, in full isolation the virus dies in 1 month and a half, for the entire country
@₳ U T U M N 🦋 except the first peak is small, and the 2nd peak will doom you all
For some reason our borders are still open
The virus can live inside your body for 37 days
the confirmed max incubation is 3 weeks
99% of the cases it's 2 weeks
Why is the isolation period 7 days then?
