Just thought I'd create a thread for updates and discussion on the Coronavirus.  As of right now there's about 120,000 cases worldwide with 4300 deaths.

You have to tell us if it's successful. It's clear the society in Sweden is much more responsible and something interesting I did not know about the number of single person households. 

 

It's much too early to say anything definite, but for the moment it looks like we might have been able to stem the tide a little. The number of new cases has remained more or less the same the last few days, and we're beginning to see a slight increase in people being able to leave intensive care.

Of course we now face the Easter holiday season when a lot of people, especially from Stockholm, usually travel north to the ski resorts. And since the vast majority of cases (so far) come from the Stockholm region there is a fear that the disease will find new momentum. Some ski resorts have closed down for the season, but most are still open. There have been pleas for people to refrain from going north over Easter, and we'll just have to see how those pleas will be received.

Imagine being in their shoes right now. I would be terrified 😨

 

The sheer awfulness of all everyone and all things associated with this wretched administration, perhaps, remains the one constant in our ever changing world.

It just gets better and better:

 

Alan Merrill has passed due to complications from the virus. He was a big name in Japan many years ago, but may be best known for writing "I Love Rock and Roll."

 

 

@OzFrog @Roman the network that airs BBCanada pulled the plug last week as Canada is moving into only essential productions. I think the episodes where they learn and leave will air next week. (BBCan has been a mess for many years anyway but this is not the right thread for that discussion...)

 

 

Sorry if this was already posted. And [!@#$%^&*] you, Falwell.

 

 

Lovely from James McAvoy.
