    So have you seen how low immunity is in Sweden? This isn't going away with natural herd immunity.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The issue, here, is that there is an election looming, so anything that takes the shine off Those In Charge is careeer-limiting for all of them.

    Worse still, there is no effective opposition to keep them on their toes, so it's down to us lot and the media.
    Fuck the media..

    Yup ... so ... ? Whether natural or assisted by medical science, complete immunity to coronavirus is far from certain.

    But we survived Spanish flu and the plague. We're not petrified of the common cold or ordinary flu or ebola. Viruses are nasty little buggers but immunology is clever stuff and science isn't all bad.

    And anyway, it's not a matter of if we die, but when and how.

    Meanwhile, twist that wrist.

    Oh, OK.

    Do enlighten me: how do you see this COVID thing playing out over the next few months?

    Beyond that, unless there are effective drugs or vaccines, we're stuffed.
    and what will we do once we've been vaccinated but have 100 thousand anti vaxers aming us, they will hold us to ransom, the government will not want them dying and we'll all be fucked

    The government may not WANT them dying but they may not have much say in the matter. Covid 19 so far hasn't shown any inclination to do as its told
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Well it was developed in a Canadian bio lab designed to be carried by young folk to severely effect elder people. Looks like it is working as designed.

    Ok, I'll bite.

    My missus works for the pathology lab that processes the Covid-19 tests.

    She's a fearless woman my girl (ask Jimmy Mair) she wouldn't blink in the face of a rabid rattlesnake standoff.

    When the nurse came back from Africa with suspected Ebola I freaked, she said 'honey its nothing, you gotta be real fucking close swapping fluids to get that one.'
    Measles, she was pissed at anti-vaxxers. 'Selfish c**ts' she said.

    Then, when C-19 breached our borders, at the time we had 3 cases. I said 'It's just a bad flu, wtf is the panic for'

    She looked at me, said 'babe this ones as bad as they get, it's more contagious than than bubonic plague, or flu, or even the common cold. It lives outside the host organism (that's you, me, or bats) for days, not seconds or minutes.... days. Humans have no immunity, in Wuhan recovered patients have re-infected, it is a killer like we have not had before. It's more contagious than any other disease on record. So lock the doors and shoot any strangers in the driveway.'

    Now, you wanna argue with a pathology professional? Go ahead, I know better.

    Spanish Flu - flu dies within 1 hour of leaving the host, so suck the sneeze to get it, close combat distance only.
    Ebola, you need to be in contact with their body fluids, blood extracted ones at that.
    Plaugue - need to get bitten by the carrying flea or share sneezes and fluids with a active case.
    So to draw comparisons to those diseases is flawed and somewhat ignorant.

    This one, lies in wait on some surfaces for days, can be spread airborne as well, carriers can be asymptomatic while infectious from 4-14 DAYS. Maybe longer, if you go symptomatic on day 13 for example....
    I spent lock-down at the other end of the kitchen table from the person responsible for coordinating all the lab tests and sample movements in the greater Wellington region, I now consider myself edumacated on C-19 and I wish I wasn't.

    And not all those who die have pre-existing conditions, it is true that a pre-existing condition is certainly not helpful but plenty of dead 20 year old's in UK and USA who were fit and healthy.
    As for Ashley, well he makes the rules, its the dumb fucks a lot further down the chain of command who failed to dleiever.

    Mother earth has had enough of us she sent that bat to the market, I swear. If this breaks loose in our general population, we're fucked.
    Peace. (and wash ya fuckin hands)
    Just ride.

    Obviously you are privy to information from a source that most of the government, scientific and medical community don't get. Not Fox News, is it?
