Flattening the curve or just muddling on? : Comments

By Graham Young, published 22/4/2020

While they are still talking about 'flattening the curve' they appear to want to eliminate new infections before they start relaxing restrictions, and that's a confusing message.

SR thank you for the reinforcement that "Politico medical" is alive and thriving in the UK too. What a hodge podge of nonsense. Euro Momo algorithm straight out of the Sir Humphrey Appleby playbook. As the Detective demanded "Just give me the facts" This fraud is going to give us a depression which will make the rich PS even richer. Those who control the present control the past those that control the past control the future and all that!

"In fact from when China first alerted the WHO in 31st of December till now nearly half a million people entered the US from that country."

When China advised WHO on 31/12 they said it wasn't transmittable between humans. So why would anyone get worried? And no one did.

But now you pretend that it was some kind on failing by Trump that he didn't realise China and WHO were lying.

You see SR, its when you feel the need to distort the facts to make your point that I know that you are wrong, and that you probably know you're wrong.

Thanks, Steele.

It looks like the weekly number of deaths in the UK have more than doubled in the past two or three weeks, and are still heading up. I suppose the longer governments leave the option of locking-down, the higher the line goes, the sharper the curve, the more the health system is put under pressure, and the longer it will take to bring that curve down, with (at least in the UK at present) twice the number of deaths each week. Twelve thousand extra deaths each week.

But clearly, any information from the British government is 'fake news' ;)

Of course, given that the handling of the crisis has been even more incompetent in the US than in the UK, one can cautiously surmise that the weekly number of deaths in the US has been much higher than in the UK. Around 900,000 have now been tested positive (even with the poor rate of testing, so god knows how many really have the virus), and fifty thousand deaths. With the curve remaining stable, it's possible that twenty thousand Americans will die each week for many weeks yet, before the curve declines to much lower figures.

I suspect that a high proportion of those who are dying are health professionals and support staff. How much longer can that be tolerated before the system is gravely diminished ?

It seems, by the way, that the support for Trump is waning amongst the elderly. Gosh, I wonder why. Why can't they stop whingeing and just inject themselves with disinfectant ?

Cheers,

Joe

Hi Joe (Loudmouth),

Don't knock the US President too much.

He may be onto something there with the disinfectant
theory after all the sale of alcohol has gone
through the roof. Aussies are also starting to come
on board with alcohol sales going up. After all it's
all good for the economy - And helps with
the lock-down. - right? (grin).

Dear JBowyer,

Damn you lot on the right need to get your stories straight. Mhaze has repeatedly doubled down on the Euro Momo data as showing little or no impact of the virus.

http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=9129&page=1

Of course time and reality caught up with him and now you are here calling it a fraud?

Do you understand why it is exceedingly difficult to ever take you seriously?

Dear mhaze,

You claim; “When China advised WHO on 31/12 they said it wasn't transmittable between humans.”

More rot from you. What they really said was; “No obvious human-to-human transmission has been observed.”

By the 20th of January this is what countries like Korea, Japan and Thailand had implemented.
