Quote ( Thijs Rieken @ March 25th 2020,08:34:24 ) Thanks, Luke. What was before an informative topic about people sharing their experiences with this global outbreak has now turned into some stupid tin-foil-hat shitshow.
Not everyone who says something you disagree with is necessarily wearing a tin-foil-hat , nor any other various metallic headwear. The title of the topic is fairly broad, so Luke actually stayed on topic. It is no theory that the Event 201 simulation was run just months before this pandemic hit, and I for one find it very hard to believe that is just a coincidence. But to those who automatically believe the official story they are spoon fed without question, more power to you. Don't look up or look around, just keep building that mound like a good ant.

You are right, it's much smarter to believe the conspiracies you are spoon fed. Q

Always a good laugh when people who read certain stories on the internet accuse others who read other stories on the internet of being 'spoon fed', as if they've done some real detective work.

or are you saying they're a deliberate cover up?
That has such a negative tone to it, I wouldn't suggest such thing :P However... I could say that there may be some "downplaying" going on
"We do not have an epidemic" :)

LOL I read the news that Brazil's mafia took initiative, step up to impose strict curfew.
This could probably be a far more effective way to get things done :)

Today was a strange day. Not laid off, but officially furloughed from my employer.
Its been a tough few weeks. Sad as it sounds I had a lump in my throat when I left. Not necessarily for the job itself, just for the uncertainty of all that lies ahead. I'm also halfway through a property purchase and that's obviously all on hold. I don't mind that so much, the health and well-being of others (all of us) I understand is paramount. Life just feels very different right now. I just wanted to post something somewhere as I don't use social media. I feel like I've been wandering around all week in a bit of a world of my own.
Hope everyone here is ok. I know its a cliche but now is more important than ever to be connected to whatever gives you a sense of connection.

It is only at the communities and surroundings, yes. But they are not really mafia, they are just low level drug dealers in a stateless area. And they have been threatening merchants who are selling disinfectants at an inflated price.
It's different, they are the missing state. They do what the state should be doing but isn't. There is no such a thing as 'nobody's land', someone is going to deal, one way or another, with basic needs of the people involved. And that means finding the money. However they can.
But that's nothing really, it's gonna get way worse.

In Belgium the news of the day is that a cat has been found to be infected with coronavirus by its owner. So your pets aren't entirely safe either but it seems to be an extremely rare case.

Cats DO HAVE Covid-19... always had, no big deal... cats have that virus, but it's not contagious to humans. Unless you eat them alive or something... :))
That's what my cat's veterinarian told me... she also told me that there were no funds given to study that virus and make vacines, so now we're paying the bill...

So America now has the highest number of cases of COVID-19. The numbers across the world are heavily inaccurate right now because not everyone is being prioritised for testing even though they may have it. Indonesia, for example, has few testing kits yet predictions are they have hubdreds of thousands infected. Im curious to understand what's going on in Europe right now (from the people actually living there).
Here in Perth...we have a bunch of cruise ships sitting off our coast with positive cases and our government has said Go back to your home country....unless someone is critically ill....so they all docked. Last week, a cruise ship docked and the people were allowed to walk around wherever they wanted snd it has in turn spread the virus here. We have 3000, officially, but a lotvof people think it's less than 10% of the real cases. They're locking everything down and yet letting school commence, and of course kids with great immune systems catch it and spread it to us. These are grim times, I've been prepping for a while for this, who knows when it'll end
Stay at home people. I call for GPRO to hand out supporter credits so the community is more encouraged to stay home analyzing data :) (they did this on another game i play)

Happened in Hong Kong, but the pet was a puppy. Already died
USA tops the positive cases chart right now, and people said the actual cases are actually way more, because usa people do not dare going to hospital for testing as medical cost too high. Some even links the influenza to covid.
Btw, how much it costs in everyone's country when you goto clinic for a normal flu? In Malaysia, government hospital is free, private clinic cost us about RM50

Glad some people can still see humor into Covid jokes. I know Covid is not a joke at all, but we really loose our humanity if we can't have some fun about it too (if only to put things into perspective a bit and humor does that perfectly!).

The effect of Italy's lockdown is looking more promising now with new cases levelling out. What's interesting is that deaths per day levelled out at the same time, without any lag. Assuming most of the deaths are actually being counted, that probably means most new cases are only being officially diagnosed when they arrive at hospital close to, or after death? That partly fits the pattern in the UK where tests are mostly reserved for hospital admissions, but also indicates many of the worst cases aren't being kept alive very long. So the actual initial infections probably levelled out two or more weeks before the deaths, right when the north entered lockdown or possibly even a bit before when people already started being more careful.
That's pretty good news but we still really need to see the new case count falling a bit, especially as lockdown measures will get harder to enforce & abide by as the northern hemisphere moves into summer and people get poorer and more restless.
I'm not sure how well it's working here. On Wednesday (day 2 of our lockdown) in my town it was dead quiet everywhere. Almost like the start of 28 Days Later. Today not so much. Way less cars than usual but loads of people and cyclists everywhere enjoying the sun. I couldn't even bring the bins in without two groups of people coming from nowhere and breaching my 2 metre zone (my fault as much as theirs). Our police and government don't want to enforce restrictions too heavy-handedly. Hopefully the virus is very hard to catch outside in open spaces but I have my doubts the current measures are enough for inner-city areas.

Some nice news for this topic (for a change)
Since there's no F1 going on, the teams are shifting their focus:
UK-based F1 teams* unite around ‘Project Pitlane’ to assist with ventilator production F1’s unique ability to rapidly respond to engineering and technological challenges allows the group to add value to the wider engineering industry’s response. The focus of Project Pitlane will now be on coordinating and answering the clear challenges that have been set.
The seven teams remain ready to support in other areas requiring rapid, innovative technology responses to the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

F1 helping address ventilator shortage in UK amid coronavirus pandemic
Formula 1 is working with the UK government and other organisations to co-ordinate an effort by all seven British-based teams to address a shortage of ventilators amid the coronavirus outbreak.
On Monday the government put out an official call to businesses that might be able to help supply ventilators or components, as well as more specific help in areas such as rapid prototyping, design and testing.
The seven teams - Mercedes, McLaren, Red Bull, Racing Point, Haas, Renault and Williams - have offered to get involved and provide expertise at a time when they have capacity due to the lack of racing.

Formula One team Mercedes has helped to develop a breathing aid that could keep coronavirus patients out of intensive care and ease some pressure on Britain's strained health service.
Mercedes worked with engineers at the University College London and clinicians at University College London Hospital to adapt and improve a device that bridges the gap between an oxygen mask and the need for full ventilation. The device, known as continuous positive airway pressure, has been used extensively in hospitals in Italy and China to deliver oxygen to the lungs of coronavirus patients during the pandemic.
UCL said the adapted devices have been recommended for use in Britain and that 100 of them are being sent to its hospital for clinical trials. There is the potential for quick roll-out by Mercedes to hospitals across the country.

and also non-F1 car manufacturers are going for it (one example here)
SEAT is collaborating with the healthcare system by making automated ventilators with adapted windscreen wiper motors 150 employees from several areas of the company have worked for a week on the definitive model after designing 13 prototypes A ventilator is currently undergoing prolonged testing as part of the approval process

Many car manufacturers mentioned there :)

Which F1 team responsible for manufacturing face mask, and which team responsible to grow cotton :)
But seriously, they no doubt can ease the ventilators manufacturing pressure, but the whole supply chain could be the real problem.
They are now already talking about the constrain in freight transport and parts shortage.
