Off Topic Coronavirus

So called being in a bubble, it amazes how the virus spreads. Is it a lack of careful cleaning? We are led to believe that bleach and alcohol kills it and some types of disinfectant, also led to believe it lives for days on surfaces. Do Bristol City need a cleaner!

 

I wonder, simply because I have not seen any plans or been on a tour since the upgrade.... do the women/ city teams / rugby al l have their own dressing rooms/showers? for home and away teams?

 

I see Salah has tested positive after going to his brothers wedding in Egypt.

Probably ok though, after all he is rich.

 

bad news on the horizon for me ...although was expecting it for months Son in law tested positive .. daughter and grandchildren off for tests tomorrow [ their 2nd ones!]
his work place has 6 victims and friends families another 4 possibly 5. besides more pupils at BDS positive's. middle GD has 2 in her class ...and next week is "mock exams" for eldest of them!
Bristol elevated to top 20 rates of infection and rising quickly over past 3 or 4 days … right in line with the rave at Yate!
THE SAD FACTS is that should the peeps that had the parties last orders in city centre etc pre lockdown with no respect to SD or due care and attention have brought this pandemic closer to a run away horse type scenario Christmas will be lost cause.. we could come out of this in the top tier of restrictions. the police has a lot of video to go through isolating faces at Yate … HOPE THEY get them and fine maximum .. already had a few and fined them! A number of the villains that caused criminal damage to Edward Colstons statue now find themselves with a criminal record!

 

Yorkshire ripper had to have been deliberately infected! ..?

One would hope the police will video with good quality camera's any not wearing a mask, will take the organisers to task ..£10,000 fines... leaders at front of the march arrested as they proceed . take them to the Colston hall as a holding pen for processing and fine anyone identified £200 or more … they could spray them with invisible marker paint doesn't wash off for a couple of weeks! ..

complete a*s ho*es

 

It always looks to me the same sort of people that go on all anti march protests....I think they are bred for such events or paid!!

 

a great number do not have a normal life .. no hobbies no partners … probably spend 12 hours a day in front of the tv … 10 hours asleep/in bed .. only get their excitement by joining in with something that does need a brain like joing a march chanting what they get told to chant … sad pond life a lot of them ...

 

We were always warned lockdown, which is under way in England, would take time to have an impact. The good news is that cases had started to stabilise before it came in, with strong evidence the regional tiers had begun to have an impact.
If the rise in cases on Thursday is a blip - there are suggestions it may be linked to a last bout of socialising before lockdown came in - the expectation is the number of infections will soon start to drop. Friday's figures were 6,000 cases down on the day before,
Prof Tim Spector, who runs the Covid Symptom Study, an app which one million people use, believes the crucial R number - the measure of how many people an infected person passes the virus on to on average - is now below one. This would mean the epidemic should start to shrink.
But no-one knows exactly what sort of impact lockdown will have. There have been suggestions the number of infections could be reduced by three-quarters.
But the early evidence from Wales' 17-day fire-break is that it stemmed the rise in cases rather than significantly shrinking it. There could be a delayed impact and England's lockdown is longer, but clearly nothing is guaranteed.

the most important part has to be linked to last minute socialising ….

 

up to date corona virus figures
Country ...positive …….deaths ……pop/m .. den/km …. % towns .. deaths/capita

worst record is Spain; ..
Brazil is likely closer to 1 in a <1000
Germany an anomally ...
CHINA FIGURES SO FAR OUT CANT BE TRUSTED
A % adjustment on population density and % living in urban areas puts UK below France and Italy, Germany figure closer to <40k still an anomaly
Australia about 1 death in 25000 of population

 

If true can they not do a few more as well?

I get what you are saying, however Sweden who kept to the herd mentality route and never closed schools, bars or restaurants etc. just observed social distancing, state that not one child died from covid.

We’ve got 616 per million deaths whilst Sweden has 581.
Given that they are not populated country compared to ours, their herd immunity is working well.
I think we can safely say herd community has got us to this second wave.
I put Sweden in the list because had it in my back of memory it was a talking point before... and today found it.
SINCE THOSE points above were raised UK death rate circa 42k Sweden 5.8k has increased by UK 19.8% and SWEDEN 8.3% factor in Sweden's attempts to follow less of a herd immunity programme, only 25 peeps per sq km and they are approaching more of a world wide average for like for like countries ... so herd immunity is not really a way forward.
other factors are those tentatively reached by scientific bodies that "attitudes" in Sweden and UK are currently different. UK has vast swathes of the population who do not care a flying fleas ass! an example is the absolute amoebic brained tw*ts who marched yesterday in various places over the country .

 

As a follow up to post #73 in our Friday coffee zoom together we did discuss the weekend proposed march's. One point raised /provided in anticipation of some of the places known events were taking place ... the political areas = mostly labour, with other attributes, anti government.. so the bitter losing dregs of those defeated by Brexit and TORY voters? were the backbone of the organisers and marchers.
Again a police officer was assaulted and perp arrested ... likely an opportunist at "having a go" at authority and now with a criminal record. With jobs now becoming far far more scarce than pre Covid the future for these individuals are looking bleaker. So much easier to get police records by HR departments now!

 

final part of this trilogy #74 #73...lol ..
I now have bad area of infection surrounding me! It shows just how quickly the Virus can spread within a non SD bubble. My Thursday night crew have a saying it only takes one .... well 4 family families all have 2 or more positives in them [ tests are within 24 hours [+/-] ]immediate outside of family, there is 14 families with a further 29 infected and a further 11 [just 24 hours after tests on Saturday] developing symptoms going for tests on Tuesday could be potentially 43. there is 1 common denominator been in contact with 4 or more of the other 17 families, he is the oldest at 58!
just been text'd apparently son in laws workplace has 5 and 3 other family workplaces at least 7 known to be.
First instance appeared last Weds ... no telling what happens outside this grouping .. 4 post codes involved!
so so glad I have been in isolation from them, well all really since the last week or so of OCTOBER!

 

rather disconcerting is the number of players testing positive after "the game"...........

Republic of Ireland duo Matt Doherty and James McClean have tested positive for Covid-19.
Both played the full 90 minutes of the Republic's 1-0 Nations League defeat by Wales on Sunday evening.
Both having played the full game are infectious, Covid does not say OK final whistle lets show ourselves ...cooooooooooeee ! they have pretty much been in open contact with over 50 people? very close proximity during free kicks and corners at breathing quite heavily.. so exuding plenty virii! for them around to inhale ....

would it be prudent of Bristol City to actually put Callum into lockdown for 7 days upon his return?

 

Feel like I am on the front line ... Along with my fiends we have been exceptionally careful.. of 7 in one of my groups wife [ WSMcovid nurse ] and husband had it; Ones wife in contact with a person who had it bad not had symtoms? One gets tested weekly as routine because works on care home maintenance. I am now surrounded by family all been caught up ... and my wife works in local care home ... but is ultra care ful tanker just left after delivering this week supply of 500 litres bleach!!!!!! lol
how the virus gets into these so called super bubbles players / staff etc is beyond apprehension ... we have just had 3 massive cycle tours . 150 riders all puffing and panting hugging each other ... negotiating in a few cases excited crowds shouting on last few kms up hills extensive breathing shouting must be a super mix!
Football tests are "after a game? " does this say the virus waits till it is over, or incubation is less than 2 hours! not read the article but having closed it does that mean in "deep clean mode" ... maybe AG should be? Will be interesting to see should Callum fall foul? important Derby game goes ahead ...........

 

Woweee now have 3 potential vaccines, I say potential as all still VERIFICATION. The manufacturer has a responsibility of it being safe, it works and has no lasting side effects....umm last bit might be difficult. The responsibility however of it being safe and checking the test results as true record lies with the panel of experts about to sign them off!
CHINA was quick to declare we have a vaccine after number 2 was declared but not much news since! Russian one flouted for a bit also gone quiet!

So which one would ANY of us old farhts on here prefer to have, [given a choice that is] most on here likely first guinea pigs!
pfitzer and the other one are both "synthetic" whereas OXFORD is a modified live virus ….. my hat off to those that volunteered for that one, ………… "roll sleeve up please just going to inject you with a live covid virus, its only killed a few 100,000 and spoilt future lives of x % that caught it!"
I will be very careful and wait a few weeks, and have the live one. By waiting should it go tits up I can have the synthetic version!

 

rumours of a second uk vaccine?
3 still await professional confirmation
less than a week for some to come out of this lockdown and back into tier 3 from tier 1 WOW that is some achievement ….
all over the country covid wardens being deployed Bristol has eight and will be accompanied? by an officer of the law!?
Bristol [ and surrounding area] a back water of the disease until end of AUGUST when peeps from outside of area had a final fling .. ADD IN A FEW STUDENTS and ker pow
Local football teams victims of the tw*ts that failed to co operate with recommended procedures ….
Cloudless sky sun shining Im off for my 3 mile walk ……. BIT CHILLY THOUGH!
