Coronavirus

Yes he did say that and you are right and its being twisted by the fake news out lets of the Left

We in the UK are behind your out break so we will peek later think the middle of May has being stated

Its being stated that we in the UK will have 20K died over this.

Quite absurd - I merely quote the statistics for the countries represented on this forum. All those figures come from the website quoted below the stats. The stats are not a comparison but information, perhaps you should look at them yourself instead of getting hysterical about them - just click on the link below.

In fact I am very much pro American as Australia’s major ally and partner in the ANZUS Treaty, you just seem ridiculously sensitive to any mention of your neighbour. I can’t see how quoting statistics from a US web site is a “bum rap”. I also said that Australia had gone over 3000 cases but you don’t seem to think that is attacking Australia.

I can quote the figures for Mexico if it makes you feel better.

Mexico
Cases 585
Deaths 8
Critical 1
Cases per Million 5

Would you like the Mexico figures included each day?

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

your cases per million look a little bit odd.

maybe this link makes more sense.this last figure is the % of cases per million

Mexico 585 +110 8 +2 4 573 1 5 0.06

I was wondering where all the colds and viruses go in the summer, and why?
I know there are still cases of colds and flu in the summer, but the emphasis is always on the winter months. Hence getting vaccinated in October and November.

It can’t be because of the warmer temperatures in summer because if that was the case, why have Italy and Spain suffered so badly. It has long been recognised that vitamin ‘D’ plays a large part in the immune system, and with longer daylight hours and more exposure to the sunshine, could this be the answer…?

In an earlier post by Lindyloo she posted what was supposed to be a list of things you could do to prevent or lessen the effects of Covid19, by a Chinese virologist.
It was thought to be fake news, but the recommendations seemed to me to be quite logical, and one of those recommendations was to expose yourself to sunlight.
Perhaps it wasn’t fake news after all.

This does not explain Italy and Spain though. So how about this…Because of a year round temperate climate, could it be that Italians and the Spanish have never been subject to the greater population suffering from colds and flu as we in the UK have, and thereby not building up a strong resistance to these winter ailments. Just a thought.

This is part of the trouble it has been a hot spring and people especially Madrilenos ( people who live in Madrid ) like to get out and socialise .They like to kiss each other a lot too so do the Italians .
Add that to fanatic desire about going to football matches and hey presto you have just the right conditions for a virus to spread .
We are a bit stand offish ( except in London) so we are a bit behind at the moment .

A percentage of cases per million makes no sense because percent is, by definition, a value per 100.

I copied the Mexican figure incorrectly I have corrected it

Boris has it!

I think that is a very old graph and only covers Europe. The one I showed from that article is more up to date (2017 or later) and covers all OECD countries, the scale however is per 1000.

It also shows how much further ahead of the west are some Asian countries

You could say that Brucy, as China closes its borders to the world and also offers
assistance to the usa yesterday!!
The times they are a changing??
Donkeyman!

I’ve just read that China sold Spain 640,000 testing kits that don’t work? I wonder how true that is? Anyone else heard about it?

Where did you read that LQ?

Donkeyman!

There are a few sites claiming the same thing

‘‘UK deaths rise by 185 to 769’’ :frowning:

The next two weeks while those who are incubating C19 start to show symptoms are going to be grim …

Did say on your link that 30% worked.

The death rate seems to have taken off again in Italy. 919 new deaths bringing the total to 9,134.

Total deaths world wide is now at 17%of the recoved cases the ones who lived that is and its creeping up

5% deaths in the UK so far.

Not funny anymore is it.

My son in law Nick just sent me a text to say his Auntie has it and is in hospital on a ventilator.

It certainly shakes you up when you realise it’s getting close to home!!!

Sorry to hear that Carol, it’s getting too close to home :frowning:

That many?
Not funny anymore is it.

Not strictly true Galty…It said they all work but only 30% of the time…

However, as Spain buys a whopping 640,000 COVID-19 test-kits, hospitals were dismayed when they found out that they don’t work. Although technically, the kits do work, the problem was it only does 30% of the time.
