Analysis Coronavirus - The Impact

[Dylan82]

It’s actually hilarious that he’s even having to talk like that. It’s like he’s talking to 24 million children. I honestly can’t believe someone has to sternly specify what not to do when a potentially fatal virus is spreading like wildfire, after already telling people more than once and enforcing restriction after restriction. You’d think people would get the message.. but clearly half the country are complete morons.

I don't know about you but it sounded to me more like a blame-shifting exercise, rather than announcing anything newly informative to the public.

The caseloads are increasing at the same rate as last week and the week before but now its all your fault it is happening...

Agreed, the Opposition has thankfully, not taken it upon themselves to grandstand the situation in this country.

The previous comment was in reference to the political situation in the US.

Yeah I got that mate. The environment in the US has got so toxic.

“Sorry ma’am, you have tested positive for the virus”

“Oh have I?”

Mutters to herself “Better stock up on the way home then, I’ll just pop in to the supermarket”

Nice one Karen.

Just for the record, the cases have increased an average of 35% per day over the past 3 days. For the previous week it was 24% per day.
Italy's average for quite a while was around 33%, so the 30's is really not the place anyone wants to be.

Has France been able to somewhat contain it? They were pretty high up with Spain at one point.

Got some links?

These are apps and websites my kids use
They are not all free and we have NDIS funding for them but if you have primary school age kids a couple of months memberships would get you through . My eldest son has a maths site he uses also just can't remember the name .
Spelling city
Abc mouse - costs but has the best range
Reading bear
Kingdom first - is the one our therapist uses .

People just need to pull their fingers out and not just let their kids take a extended holiday .

YouTube some in house science experiments and have some fun.

Today I found out that you can get the damn thing multiple times. Apparently some lady in China had it twice and survived.

The public are just as much at fault as the government though. We’ve been told exactly what to do from the outset and a pretty large % either just flat out disregarded it or thought they knew better.

The governments mistake was not knowing how dumb their population is and not going harder from the start, forcing us to do things rather than guiding us through it and “recommending”. On top of letting mistakes like the cruise ships happen.. although that was a state issue, so it’s hard to put the blame on ScoMo and his mates for that one in particular, but just f*ck up after f*ck up in a time where we’d obviously like to keep those to a minimum..

They have half the cases of Spain. Who knows how often they're reporting though

 

[Abed]

But still an increase on 20 from yesterday.

Still no signs of community transmission.

Because they're not testing the general community. It'll be out there. Guaranteed.

Logarithmically, the growth rate in Australia is unchanged.



Initiatives taken to contain the outbreak have not yet had any impact on cases.

They shut everything down a week earlier, it makes a difference.

 

[Astro7]

Where to begin?

15 days is insufficient to start with and there remains two-thirds of the population that have relatively little restriction in their movement.

That country should have gone into total shutdown a month ago.

There is nothing to be reviewed; their caseload is on course to go up five-fold over the period whilst he continues to spout rubbish and misinformation.

Yup, if there's one good thing about this virus, it looks very likely to have cooked Trumps goose!

 

[ioppolo]

NSW, QLD, & VIC account for most of our cases, especially NSW.

Australia's growth rate isn't great but being over here in WA, I'm mainly focusing only on us.

 

[ashley12]

Semi-morbid prediction

USA make up 4% of the worlds population

They end up with 40% of the cases and deaths by the end of this.

I just can't see them effectively dealing with the problem given who the POTUS is, the election coming up, the warring government, the individuals inability to give up the freedoms in exchange for not spreading a deadly virus etc relative to the other countries around the world.

Isn't it that most of our cases have been people returning from overseas?

How would our initiatives stoped that ?

Yeah its more the 15 year old I am worrried about. We have some extra work and he has a tutor who has allocated a bunch of work. The school says stuff is coming which is great.

We are also in the process of allocating some non traditional homework, like putting a proposal together for the next family holiday.

I'd have more faith in online. Not all of it is video conferencing, I'm planning podcasts and documents that they can access at their leisure. It's doable.

ofcoarse you’d have more faith “in online” (v home school)
Home school has the potential for youthful curiosity, and the asking of questions..uh oh.. And that could become problematic..!!

diversity is our strength!! etc etc

btw
have you been teaching them the joys of communism/ socialism?
And the live markets. Sounds delish !!

The consumption of “exotic” foods is itself a legacy of the Great Chinese Famine 1959–1961, after which the government permitted private farming but failed to prevent the monopoly by big companies of the rearing of conventional livestock. The peasantry, priced out of the market, resorted in large numbers to the farming of wild animals, especially, in the initial stages, the farming of turtles. Since this curbed starvation to some extent, the government backed these initiatives, and then in 1988 made the encouragement of domestication and breeding of wildlife an explicit aspect of law. Wildlife farming became an industry overnight. Bears, snakes, rodents, lizards, and bats began to be mass-produced for human consumption, and sold in mass markets in many of the country’s largest cities. In these markets, multiple species, alive and dead, are stacked in cages on top of one another, with the animals soaked in cocktails of urine and excrement—each cage a petri dish for the development new diseases, especially respiratory diseases, with the potential to jump to humans from myriad mammals. Together with its failure to take decisive preventative action in January 2020, and absent conspiracy theory speculation, the origin tale of COVID-19 is ultimately an indictment of Chinese politics and culture.

Getting HoneyBadger35 and Keys to host the podcast with you?

"Today, kids, we are studying The Crucible, set during the Salem Witch Trials. We have a very special guest joining us, Mr Keys, who was in high school as the trials took place.

..here to make derogatory jokes about him is his friend, Badger."

You have to normalise it for population though. We only have 2.5M people in WA, vs probably 7M odd in NSW, 6M in Vic. Yes, we are still doing better than NSW but it's not as rosy as it seems.

He may be a dick but you can't fault how trump has pulled the USA out of that hole Obama left .

Obama - most likable president - terrible at running the country

Trump - most maligned president - best run country in generations .

 

[Dylan82]

This.

Testing has only recently broadened its scope beyond those who have recently been overseas or associated with a positively identified case in the past 1-2 days.

Under such circumstances community transmission can propagate without anyone noticing; all it takes is one asymptomatic case to start the chain of spread.

Modelling of the outbreak in China has suggested that undocumented cases may have still transmitted at 55% the rate of documented infections.

If that is proven to be correct, we may be significantly underestimating the true number of cases in the country.

Sorry mate not at that stage with our kids yet .

Get him out building something in your backyard.
Deck /pagola/ half pipe .
Make a veggie garden .

Not gonna help his academics but will give him some life skills and the manual labour will broaden his shoulders

You will also have veggies for the apocalypse
