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

@Crafty if by "the peak" you mean the peak of the 1st phase, sure

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'm not making a claim that it is, but interesting idea

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?

I just think that SARS-CoV-2 is likely to become endemic pathogen and will pose a significant threat to high risk individuals for as long as we don't have a vaccine

@₳ U T U M N 🦋 that's their plan. Because they refuse to close the borders

The vaccines will take a long time too

closing borders should have been done a long time ago
