By LFMartins86 Go To PostPortugal has been breaking records almost daily, today was another grim day with 4626 new cases and 40 deaths. Reminder that before October, the day with more cases was 1502. We are now having 3 times that daily and specialists are predicting 7k daily in November, up to 20k daily in December.bruh we're at 10k with 2 million fewer people
Hospitals are starting to get overwhelmed, things are not looking good at all.
I've always been happy to live on a island but even more so now. We've got this covered, we have daily cases but 90% are from people arriving from other places, there's only a few cases of local transmission and those are always quickly handled and isolated.
😭

My girl gets her temperature checked by her job every day before work and she just had a high temp and they’re still keeping her at work? Am I missing something? Tf is the point of a temperature check to just ignore it

Amateurs. We do that in under two weeks.
Mum was working from home at the start of lockdown, furloughed from the end of April, and is supposed to be back in the office on Monday
Seems both futile and dangerous with another lockdown imminent.

Man fuck off with this lockdown. No point if you're going to keep sending kids and uni twats into the covidgrinder. Our r rate jumped to 2 on the back of uni students being fucking wasters alcoholics
Brazil are slowing getting less critical here. Daily deaths averaging at 500 more or less, new daily cases 20-25k. That's about half of what we were getting 6 weeks ago.
6 million cases - 160k deaths in total.

Who were you for Halloween? Batman? Catwoman?
Naw, bitch, I was Super Spreader.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostYes, but no idea if they're actually using it.There's no vaccination yet here. A lot of rumors about some of those being bought. We are also developing one in partnership with other countries.
We had the chance to prepare ourselves after seeing what the 1st wave did around the world but we failed. Let's see if we learned from our own mistakes and can react well when the second wave hit us. I'd guess it's gonna happen exactly on the carnaval period (february/march).
I live on a relatively small state, so far our averages are about 200-300 new daily cases with 10 daily deaths more or less. Population of about 5 million.
The states suffering the most are mainly those that have big international airports like São Paulo, Rio, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Ceará, Amazonas, etc.
My state has a minuscule airport, with like 4 destinations, only domestical as well.
By Facism Go To PostSame valance who's making bank off covid-related misery?
I love my gossiping nanny friends working in high places. One of them told me that one of her clients was responsible for contracts with vaccine makers (basically running them against each other), and it sounded proper shady in order to make big bank. I think even KidJr would be proud of it tbh.
I doubt there will ever be an attempted second lockdown in the US, but I know I don't want to be stuck in DC for it.
Gonna start looking at moving this week.

There's no point when the public don't give a fuck about the rules when they've been undermined so frequently by those in power. Not to mention how muddled the messaging has been since day one.

At Saturday night’s Downing Street press conference, scientists presented graphs suggesting England could see 4,000 daily deaths early next month.
The scenario from Cambridge University was used as part of efforts to justify the introduction of sweeping restrictions.
But data experts have questioned why the scenario - drawn up three weeks ago - was chosen to illustrate the crisis, when the university has produced far more recent forecasts, which are significantly lower.
The modelling presented on Saturday night, which suggests deaths could reach 4,000 a day by December, is so out-of-date that it suggests daily deaths are now around 1,000 a day.
These forecasts, dated October 28 - three days before the Downing Street announcement - far more closely track the current situation, forecasting 240 daily deaths by next week, and around 500 later this month.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/01/death-scenarios-used-government-justify-second-national-lockdown/
While these predictions do not look as far ahead as December, they suggest a picture which is far more optimistic than the scenario which caused shock waves this weekend.
Prof Carl Heneghan, the director of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine, at Oxford University, said he was “deeply concerned” by the selection of data which were not based on the current reality.
He said: “Our job as scientists is to reflect the evidence and the uncertainties and to provide the latest estimates.”
“I cannot understand why they have used this data, when there are far more up-to-date forecasts from Cambridge that they could have accessed, which show something very different.”
