Yep, replied

Had a look at the figures and I see it looks like Iran's cases have begun to rise again up to 3,574 as of now. Pakistan's numbers have risen to 4,801 new cases as of now. Bangladesh new cases upto 2,423 as of now and these Country's are pretty hot in temperature, so it looks like the warmth doesn't cause it to slow down. I wonder if it's rising coz of the Mosques re-opening?

India will be past Italy by Saturday night and Brazil will be over 600k tonight.

All the while, we are relaxing the lockdown in Europe... is it too soon? I would say some businesses can open but we shouldn't be opening up all the businesses so soon and definitely shouldn't be flying around until much later this year.

New coronavirus losing potency, top Italian doctor says

ROME (Reuters) - The new coronavirus is losing its potency and has become much less lethal, a senior Italian doctor said on Sunday.

“In reality, the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy,” said Alberto Zangrillo, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in the northern region of Lombardy, which has borne the brunt of Italy’s coronavirus contagion.

“The swabs that were performed over the last 10 days showed a viral load in quantitative terms that was absolutely infinitesimal compared to the ones carried out a month or two months ago,” he told RAI television.

Zangrillo said some experts were too alarmist about the prospect of a second wave of infections and politicians needed to take into account the new reality.

“We’ve got to get back to being a normal country,” he said. “Someone has to take responsibility for terrorizing the country.”

The government urged caution, saying it was far too soon to claim victory.

“Pending scientific evidence to support the thesis that the virus has disappeared ... I would invite those who say they are sure of it not to confuse Italians,” Sandra Zampa, an undersecretary at the health ministry, said in a statement.

A lifeguard wearing a protective face mask takes the temperature of a woman at a newly reopened beach after months of closure due to an outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), at Punta Hidalgo, in Punta Ala, Italy May 31, 2020.

“We should instead invite Italians to maintain the maximum caution, maintain physical distancing, avoid large groups, to frequently wash their hands and to wear masks.”

A second doctor from northern Italy told the national ANSA news agency that he was also seeing the coronavirus weaken.

“The strength the virus had two months ago is not the same strength it has today,” said Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at the San Martino hospital in the city of Genoa.

“It is clear that today the COVID-19 disease is different.”

I guess it will be interesting to see if rioting and looting turns out to be the cure for the CCP Virus here in the USA.

It is rather interesting that businesses can be shut down yet there is apparently no restriction against demonstrations and protests. What an odd world this has become.

Reports are that tear gas and pepper spray causes the virus the spread more. As does hanging around in massive gatherings.
This is a perfect action for a group of people to do if they want to accelerate a pandemic.
I'm totally behind the movement and what it is about but this is probably the single most dangerous time to do what is being done.

Wonder why this thread has all but died. Has the George Floyd story eclipsed everything? There’s a couple of 1st world leaders I can think of that must be very happy that the scrutiny of their abysmal Covid management has been diverted.

Because a certain someone isn't here stirring up s***? Just kidding.

Yeah, I think the riots have diverted attention well. We'll see what happens in the next month or so with this pandemic. The thread might explode again if the pandemic does.
