The Covid-19 thread

Ladies, ingrates, gentlefolk.

Not wanting to compare the relative responses to the virus from around the world, but just to illustrate the cost/privations we in middle earth are bearing in order to be covid free...

From today Kiwis returning from holidays abroad will be hit with the managed isolation and quarantine bill on their arrival.

So whilst we may be able to 'go somewhere' on the giant tin budgie, there's likely to be quarantine, at the other end, risk of catching said virus and then on return, this: 

Adults are to be charged a blanket fee of $3100. Additional adults staying in the same room will be charged $950 each, and children aged 3 to 17 are charged $475 extra.

The travel industry is fighting a rearguard action. They can't imagine a world without money flowing into their businesses.

Frankly  I would not travel to any country that wasn't virus free.

Oh and the few cases we do have,  are from people arriving in NZ and then being locked up in quarantine. There have been a few runners, but they've been stopped quickly, without it appears, any harm caused. So no community transmission...

Sir,

as can be seen on this very forum, member migrant has been kind of incarcerated for a fortnight due to the Kindom´s government  trying to keep the virus outside under any circumstances . Very well. This could in theory go on til eternity but before eternity is there the whole economy might have evaporated. All the European countries which could limit the virus after struggling desperately do now note an increase in infections due to schools opening and tourism picking up. Except Italy, they learned their lesson. Conclusion: leading international virologists like Prof BuBi  tend to think that for the immediate future we should tolerate the virus to a limited degree and strictly keep on sticking to a routine of wearings masks, keep distance and thoroughly washing hands. Supported by testing opportunities available everywhere with easy access. Bavaria is about to build such a chain right now.

Spreaders of stinking bullshit-comments like democratically elected Presidents Trump and Bolsonaro push the people into desaster, this virus shall not just disappear but keep on spreading whereever we let it.

I read in the newspaper that President Trump of the Ununited States strongly promotes early opening of the schools and that young people are sort of immune anyway. Maybe somebody here who has his mobile number could explain him that after opening of schools in 2 states in Germany these days so far 4 schools had to be closed again and that further many young people who caught the virus earlier this year are now suffering from severe consequences of different type. You cannot talk it away, it is unfortunately looking for prey whereever there is the opportunity. People who do not wear a mask in crowded areas are ignorant idiots.

Thinks Dr. Bubi, general expert.
