End of April I think we will be out of quarantine but it's the repercussions that are unknown.. We may still have to social distance to a degree... No clubsas will be to. May people.. Pubs limited to a few people only...

They said today in uk they will monitor the situation on a monthly basis. Forget about end of April this could go on for some time by sounds of it

Start of July will relax measures. And like said will turn them off and on and off and on for up to 18 months/vaccine widly available

Do we even know how accurate the figures are anymore even they are not testing for corona anymore

5 day wait for a test here in Dublin. I got some symptoms and told to get a test as sounds likely i might. Not even a date yet, they're struggling with the numbers. That's not no mention a further 3 day wait for results.
Its like a 9 month wait for a pregnancy test

New numbers for Italy today... 7,000+ new cases and 627 deaths in past 24 hours. Just brutal ?

Makes me wonder about the Chinese having no new cases. Back to normal. Has to be absolute pish. Helps in that environment. And Russia has about 20 cases ?

Saying that, I went to the local shop earlier, despite holding myself back I ended up panic buying booze.. ?

I really hope
a) the antibody test works and is out soon. So can green light people with immunity.
b) vaccine works and
c) covid19 doesn't mutate into covid20 and evades vaccine

B) vaccine works is the only real solution. Problem with your option a is how long does immunity last? We simply don’t know. There is a real scenario of people testing for anti bodies but still getting reinfected a few weeks or months down the line.

I don't think China have no new cases according to world meters they do.. They don't have many new cases though

Be interesting to know if China has any or many reinfect ions with this

Im still not sure i have it. I work in a lab that actually starts testing for it next week. I had to let them know i had developed a cough and slight chest infection on Tuesday.
No fever, nothing id really say was flu, u was expected to be told work away. Instead i was put straight forward for a test and the doc reckons its classic symptoms. Temperature doesn't hit a lot of people in the beginning apparently.
Either way if it is im 3 days in and if its is Covid im pretty lucky so far with the symptoms. Feeling shit and a moderate chest infection ans slight cough. Who knows. I certainly won't until nex week.

That's a natural reaction

If you expect the government to foot the bill (even if just for food and shelter) you will need to expect the funds to come from someplace. It costs for materials, energy and labor to grow food. If we just decide to monetize (print money), then you will enter an inflation spiral. Plenty of examples out there...

Sorry to be so dark, but there are no 'easy outs' in this scenario.

Word!

In the UK for example they announced that they will pay 80% of wages.
But you can rest assured we will pay that back in increased taxes over the next few years.

But I'm OK with that obviously
