Coronavirus - Dig In, It's going to be a while yet

Grandmother of a good mate of mine in work passed away this morning due to this cunt of a yoke. She started coughing yesterday morning. Got it from the carer who was helping her with her husband. Carer didnā€™t even know she had it until after the lady had died. Carer may have unknowingly passed it onto 10-15 other elderly people. Itā€™s nuts altogether.

You can see why the Indian doctors come over here in fairness.

Weā€™ve curried favour with them with our promise that thereā€™s only a 10% chance theyā€™ll be attacked while working in A&E on a Saturday night. They like those odds.

Even the woman doing the sign language is giving him the two fingers.

Why is COVID-19 killing so many southern Europeans and not killing so many Vikings?

Italy 14k dead, Spain 11K dead, France 6.5K dead. OK big populations, average 55 million. Roughly 200 dead per million population. The Vikings (Denmark, Sweden, Norway), roughly 20 million population combined, 560 deaths, 28 deaths per million.

OK thereā€™s roughly 2X more people confirmed infected per million of population in southern Europe compared to Viking nations, but what the fuck else is going on? Is this more evidence that the number actually infected is huge?

Or is my math fucked up @anon78624367?

Social distancing is the norm in Scandinavia, unlike Southern Europe. Tourism is rampant in Italy/Spain, unlike Scandinavia. Italians apparently have poor personal hygiene.

Just spoke to one of my teachers there, she said it was only a matter of time before her Mother-In-Law would die from COVID in New York. Husband canā€™t go back as he wonā€™t be able to return to Singapore, no one in allowed to see her anyway and no point Skyping as she isnā€™t aware of what is going on as she is on morphine. Horrendous situation with no closure for the family.
