#exitstrategy will be the buzzwords for April.

Ah lovely — The great con job is coming to an end.
32 new cases and 16 new deaths in Austria.
He is a genuine expert in his field, oncology, but his views on this have to be taken with a large pinch of salt given his political inclinations - he runs his own private clinics and has called for the NHS to be abolished. His views on this from what I can see are just standard downplaying pollyanna nonsense of the sort we’ve seen so much of from right-wingers during this whole crisis. He has a vested interest in restrictions being lifted as soon as possible.

“The aim is that from April 14… smaller shops up to a size of 400 square metres, as well as hardware and garden stores can open again, under strict security conditions of course,” Kurz said at a press conference.
He added that if the government’s timetable goes to plan, larger shops will reopen on 1 May and from mid-May hotels, restaurants and other services could also start to open their doors again in stages.
However, he stressed that the restrictions on movement that Austria has introduced to fight the spread of COVID-19 remained in place and called on Austrians not to celebrate Easter with people outside their household.
Schools will remain closed until mid-May and public events will remain banned until the end of June, Kurz said.
If trends in infection began to worsen again, the government “always has the possibility to hit the emergency brake” and re-introduce restrictions, he said.

We’ll be BBQing on the beach for June bank holiday
Have Sweden backtracked yet on their lax restrictions?
Is Austria not landlocked?
Is Austria in Ireland?
Sweden, whose softer measures to combat the spread of the new coronavirus have drawn criticism both at home and abroad, had reported 6,830 confirmed cases of the illness and 401 deaths by yesterday. That is up from 3,700 cases and 110 deaths one week earlier.
The figures are likely much higher in reality, as only patients admitted to hospital and health care personnel are being tested for the virus.
They will only so so when ICUs are threatened of being overran, which is one of the key reasons for restrictions.
Great news.
Numbers don’t look good for them.
In what respect? It’s not great for anyone.
Big jump in number of cases & deaths over a week.
Based on compounding % though. Their death rate isn’t extraordinary yet.
For the record, Austria appear to be about a week ahead of curve than us based on their % growth. They’re testing quite a few as well.
It’s positive to see this.
Austria is landlocked
