CV and mad panic behaviour

[kruddler]

Here's a shorter version but if you get a spare 90 minutes it's worth a listen to.

I literally just finished watching the 90 minute version. lol

Still don't understand why i was told to watch it. Seems like what i was saying and what my understanding of the situation is.

Perhaps that doesn't come across on here very well?

I watched it days ago. I only put it up to inform everyone here about what's coming because our prime minister wants people to believe his government are the experts and not to believe crap online.

No crap Sherlock!  :

So why would you single out the low cost labor, is it an elitist thing?

Anyway, last time I was in Northern Italy most of the low cost labor came out of the old Soviet Block states or North Africa, not China or SE Asia. I'd say the bulk of the unskilled factory labor, also hotel maintenance and wait staff, were African.

I realise it's been a couple of years since I've been there, but I'm sure things haven't changed that quickly on the larger scale.

His reference to believing stuff online was directed at bogus claims circulating saying that a lockdown would be announced today (I got an audio mss saying it, my daughter got a text from her boss). They said listen to official instructions re: lockdowns, school closures, etc not twitter feeds or whatsapp messages.

Yes, I think sometimes we all economize with our choice of words, and for convenience we pick an easy phrase that catches more than it should. I doubt Slomo is telling us not to listen to the Michael Osterholms of this world. That said, his response is still way too slow IMO, and fully in keeping with his general MO.

He's being reactive rather than proactive and with an incubation period of around 14 days he's always behind the 8 ball. He's been doing this from the start and sadly he and the chief medical officer aren't learning.

Median incubation period is 5 days, not 14 days. Having said that, the testing takes anywhere from 5-15 days to get results, so the numbers of cases being bandied around is what was happening a week or so ago, not what is happening today

Yes, that sounds fair enough. I was hoping he would hit at least 1 home run, just like Howard did with the gun legislation early in his first term. That way I wouldn't be accused of blatant, consistent anti-Liberal bias. 

Sadly, no such luck.

Nice of us to start off the new season on the same page Paul.

China has reported no new infection cases today for the first time, wonder how they got to this stage and with their massive population?
A.Full lockdown is what got them to this level of control, we need to be doing same...
