Wot no coronavirus thread? Thread broken - see new thread
South Korea - no new local cases. Total deaths to date 246.
Well done, so far.
Vis a vis: Johnson and Trump claim they’ve (UK and USA) been doing fantastic work and the world is looking at their successes in containment. Over 85k recorded deaths and counting.
Although the government response is a significant factor, I cannot help but think the attitudes of people in both countries is a factor and their distrust of authority or just downright stupidity in disrespecting advice. Anecdotally of course, but I'm lead to believe that the number of people flouting the lockdown has been happening...and perhaps cabin fever kicking in too...but it will mean rates will spike more (although with that said, in the UK we have no idea, really, of the number of people who have already been infected). So for various reasons a bit of a disaster.
I can say for a fact that when police are missing the point too (threatening to search through people's baskets of shopping when in fact buying items branded as "luxuries" is fine providing it is done when essentials are bought) then it does undermine the whole strategy and a better explanation of why what is being done is being done needs to be done. For example, Trump being a monumental ****wit does not help in the slightest.

1. Have you heard the Covid joke? It will take a while, but I think you'll get it eventually
2. Why did the chicken cross the road? It was socially distancing responsibly
3. Since the lockdown, I've limited myself to telling inside jokes.
4. Who bought up all the toilet paper? As-holes.
etc. etc..
One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.
In the US, it would appear that people have decided that 60,000 lives is a fair trade for being able to relax social distancing behavior.

Whereas Australia and New Zealand are already talking about reinstating international travel between each other. I'm sure the 'safe zone' will extend across the West Pacific to include Taiwan and South Korea - maybe even China too...
KH before he disappeared talked about NZ relying on tourism - imagine NZ and OZ being the only places open for tourism for 1.4bn people...
Hm, a full week since the last KH sighting, with job losses now over 30MM. I would think he'd be here promoting Remsidivir as reason to open up the world to the virus...
Maybe he's lost his job?
Would be kind of apt being a victim of his own type of ruthlessness.*
It's not like he was doing anything useful to society...
*Not that I wish he's lost his job, I might add!* Just commenting on the irony if he had.

I know which model I'd prefer...
Communist China is a virus hot spot. The CCP has just made it illegal to accurately report infection and death numbers.
