    This is factual rather than anything dodgy but the orthodox communities around Stamford Hill are seen as superspreaders

    Will be interesting to see if they are able to handle a change in the rules for congregating for worship at Passover next week.

      The first reported cases in the US were around the Synagogue in New Rochelle too. Suspect they got tested as it's a pretty well off area. I remember my sister moved to Pelham largely because the property taxes there were higher than the other options, which apparently means the schools are generally better.

            There seems to have been zero actual analysis on the accounts or scorecarding of bot-like behaviour on any of them.
            I done 6 random ones, and checked my own using the same metrics, the highest mark was 2.5/5 and half that users tweets were about the late late. I scored 1.5

                Always fun to have a browse in your Spam folder. I won a million bucks today via a Whatsapp email, the Ministry of Finance has approved the release of my winning funds for something else and some damsel in distress urgently requires my help or (unspecified) 'they' will kill her.

                Exciting times.

                    I see Wimbledon, which wasnt due to start for another 12 weeks, has been cancelled.

                    What are peoples estimates for return to normal working etc? 2 weeks at a time as we are and see?

                        Must be only you who got them, I never heard of anyone else getting them.

                          ive been thinking about this a lot im thinking months maybe
                          even if the largest amount of cases in ireland is over before the end of april we still have to wait weeks or months right?
                          i did work at the airport so when the hell are flights back to normal???
                          if there is still 1 case in ireland are we still to aviod all contact how in the name of sweet baby jesus is this going to work?
                          vaccine has to arrive before normal life resumes?

                            Oct BH might be more realistic.

                                  I'd say it depends what you view as normal.

                                  Non-essential retail businesses back online by end of end May.
                                  Perhaps golf courses, small venue engagements with maximum capacities to follow a little later.

                                  It depends what's palpable in many ways, if people/government are happy to see 10-15 cases a day for the foreseeable future, I think that's possible come some time in May.

                                  They'll likely shut things down again to some extent all else equal later in the year for a subsequent wave which seems likely.

                                  Proper normality is a 12-18 months away but the next 4 weeks is the most restrictive it'll likely ever be.

                                    We have no estimate at all. I'm guess this could go on for quite a while. Good for the environment though!

                                    I have one that bypassed my spam, a spoofed email from my own email address, saying they will release a video of me watching porn through my webcam to all my contacts unless I pay them $1000 in bitcoin. They fail to realise I don't have a webcam and I wouldn't give a shit if they did haha.

                                        Only 212 new cases reported today. Kind of a bit lost as to what the raw cases numbers mean now as the goalposts keep moving, but low numbers are good!

                                          I really want to get a warm feeling about number of new cases but testing issues and potential drop off stopping me

                                              Starting to move to ICU new admissions but even that hard to be clear on!

                                              Think i read somewhere time for total deaths to double should be looked at too although you are looking back in time of 2/3 weeks on actions taken

                                                I'd be happy to go back now tbh.

                                                I spend most of my time in the trees & lakes anyway, I am always more than 2m away from everyone else.

                                                  Yeah, we have Vegas booked for middle of October and came to terms a few weeks ago with the fact that we wont be going. October 2021 should be doable.

                                                        Are they all struct down with it or sharing the blame for tribunal time?

                                                        They even rolled out the Orish scapegoat today if Im being hyper cynical!

I found it a decent way to stay somewhat informed on events in other places without having to dive too much into media which can be a bit too all-consuming. He talked a little at the very end of today's video about a strip that they just started using in Thailand. You just do a finger prick and place the drop on a small strip. One line shows you haven't been affected while a second line shows the presence of Antibodies which means you either had it or have it. Why aren't these things being rolled out en masse all over the world? They don't seem like they should be hard to produce or cost much. I guess the accuracy maybe isn't great for testing people in the early stages of the disease but at least all the people waiting on tests who have since recovered could get some solace with this kind of simple test to say they have already had it.

They fail to realise I don't have a webcam and I wouldn't give a shit if they did haha.
                                                                                Haha I had that one as well a good few times. But it's odd from my email to my email. Same as you no webcam. Lol

                                                                                                        Low numbers of completed tests = low numbers of confirmed cases. Sorry I keep harping on about this but I can't see how those low numbers are good.

The number of deaths will rises, as predicted, but the number of confirmed cases won't because of testing bottle necks.

                                                                                                                      During a normal flu season, the National Virus Reference Laboratory (NVRL) might carry out 600 tests a week. Now, with the assistance of the other laboratories, 1,500-2,000 test results are produced a day, according to its director, Cillian De Gascun, who is also chairman of the HSE’s coronavirus expert advisory group. The plan is to increase that about 10-fold in the next four-five weeks.
                                                                                                                      While there are legitimate, hopefully short term, lab equipment shortages world wide, the ramp up us going to be a massive challenge.

                                                                                                                      The jump from 600 to twice that, a 100% increase in capacity in a month, is a fine achievement. Going beyond that is going to be a gargantuan push.

                                                                                                                      You need proper labs, highly skilled experienced lab technicians, equipment, management, systems and processes, IT capacity, logistics of moving samples, quality systems and supply chains.

                                                                                                                      This shit is tough and can't be done overnight. A 10 fold increase in the next 4 weeks is the stuff of miracles. If I were tasked with pulling this together I would welcome the breathing space a global supply problem would bring.
