The WaPo article: The point isn’t that people shouldn’t take this lightly; it’s that precautions can work to prevent the country from realizing anythi...
First of all, the operative word in the quote is "ultimately", e.g. once the disease has become endemic. Second, the article is not about what you're ...
Corona. Next stop Brasil. I think the contenders for most deaths in the short term are Brasil and Iran. In the long run it will be India and China but...
You're missing the forest for the trees. Cuomo totally fucked up too. Except he wasn't the one actively downplaying the issue while being briefed abou...
And we have a winner! This of course has nothing to do with Trump. (cue the apologists). I called Trump a danger 3 years ago because we all knew the e...
That first link is definitely interesting. What I'm missing from it though, is the assessment of the people requiring intensive care but who aren't go...
My neighbour is an anithesist and had a 2 week crash course for IC procedures and machines. He's also build a bespoke respiratory system using face co...
You're currently not even assessed in Northern Italy if you are older than 65 or have comorbidity. Not necessarily a reply to you but to the general d...
The invention of the oil lamp and candles did not lead to night life. Only the light bulb did and that's why it's a structural change (and the reason ...
I didn't say better though. The car is again just an implementation that increases speed (communication and travel). The car as a specific application...
The speed of travel, finance and communication has been increasing for 4000 years. So no, I don't consider the advent of internet revolutionary at all...
The boiling frog is a fable. Anyhoo, not everything is a revolution of course. And I didn't mean it to be. It's not as if the labour participation of ...
Of course, it's all one big bubble. I can tell you're super informed about mostly nothing so that claim about mainstream media in Europe is baseless a...
Sigh. I'm Dutch. I'm not in any US-centred bubble. Which makes it so easy for me to render judgment. No horse in the race and all that. I'm really gla...
It's the borders of the Schengen area which are closed for non-Schengen countries. So existing borders are closed. The border between the Netherlands ...
These are all wars to maintain the status quo. They're meaningful to those receiving the bombs of course but for the West they mean very little. Life ...
You're pretty new here so you don't know what gets my blood pressure up. I certainly don't swear with cutesy made up names for people when I'm angry. ...
Trump on 17 March : “I've always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I've felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” Trump on...
Glad Orange-oetan is sticking with you. Also, I'm a reflexive kind of guy and quite allergic to arrogance. I don't like arrogant people, so there's no...
Remind me again. TDS stands for Trump Defense Syndrome endemic under Trumpanzees right? I don't see why companies ought to be bailed out. If taxpayers...
No, I said that if you have a travel ban for foreign nationals is doesn't make sense to not check us nationals coming in. Something a lot of countries...
Again, if you think I'm hoping for that, you haven't been reading my posts. I'm warning you and I have been warning you and Tiff since before Trump wa...
hmmm... You're asking me this because you are at a loss of examples of countries who are managing the disease well? What did Japan do? Or South Korea?...
So, life as normal. These are changes in degree, not fundamental. The economic structure in society remains the same, the real politik approach remain...
What's retarded is not seeing Trump's culpability in the fiasco running its course in the US right now and instead you resort to calling me names twic...
Right. So if I can divert a train from only hitting 50 people instead of 100, I'm not to blame if it hits all 100 of them? Sound ethics. Carry on. :up...
As to this thread. Nothing is going to change except some technocratic tweedling and fiddling to make sure the system continues to work with as little...
It's wrong. On the official Dutch website from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://www.nederlandwereldwijd.nl/landen/frankrijk/reizen/reisadvies#...
There are no closed borders as far as I'm aware. I can jump in my car and drive to France right now. Gas stations are still open as well. It's not sma...
What gives you that idea? I can still travel from the Netherlands to other EU countries without problems provided that I meet the requirements of a lo...
OK snowflake. Or instead you can take that comment in the context that it was made, with fellow Trumpanzees defending the orange-oetan's ineptitude wi...
You can eradicate false positives by retesting. In the Netherlands each sample is tested twice by separate laboraties to lower the likelihood of false...
