Amazing how quickly the situation changes, and how long ago a short time seems! --- End quote --- Source? --- End quote --- The news? I watched a so called expert from the tropical medicine college in london advising the gov on channel 4 talking about herd immunity and how we would just get it gradually and all would be well while a programmer that had accurately modeled what would happen cradled his head in his hands in despair. 2 Days later the gov did what the programmer was advising is a massive U turn in everything but name! |

--- Quote from: SiliconWizard on March 26, 2020, 07:08:47 pm ---Now with (from what I've just seen) 958 cases and 5 deaths, things don't look that bad for Finland so far. Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating this, and I agree anything should be done to keep this under control, but from figures alone, I can at least slightly understand why some people there would still think it's relatively "mild". --- End quote --- It's just coming with a delay compared to south/middle European nations. The growth rate is approximately as bad as it was in Italy or Spain. (You need to multiply the Finnish numbers by 12 to compare with Italy, adjusting for the 5M versus 60M people.) - We are approximately 20 days behind Italy. We had some 200 000 Finnish tourists (4% of the population!!), large part from Italy and Spain, come back home, completely bypassing quarantine procedures, any medical control, and without even getting proper information about the necessity of self-quarantine. The problem is, practically every plane have had at least one infected; then they went in full buses back home all over the country, visiting restaurants on the way. The media is now, correctly, looking for the responsible for this fiasco; and the government was just caught pants down lying to us that this was just an "information disconnect", while some documents leaked, showing the ministry of health actually preventing a planned operation by the local healthcare authorities. This is a huge reveal here right now. Most of these people have came back during last two or three weeks, and are still coming. The total failure of medical control has been discussed in media and by the politicians for over two weeks now, still the same mistakes continuing were reported still two days ago. Now it seems the leak has been fixed, and the control is working much better, but it took way too long. |

I wonder till when people and media will be ready to watch and comment the counters with "Confirmed". The main counter (551k today) will "finish" at around 10% of Earth's population. It may take till Xmas when all successful with "flattening the curve". |
