If anything, the rise seems to be slowing down a little. What did I miss? --- End quote --- Well it's straight line on the log graph, but they "only" have 10k cases and only 260 deaths. Of course there is always question over the data. EDIT: Looking at it another way, at the end of March they had like 2k cases. Now mid april they have 10k <shurg> --- End quote --- You specifically said "Japan are apparently experiencing a second wave after relaxing lock down." That doesn't appear to be backed up by the data, if anything, daily cases are down. --- End quote --- For the umpteenth time: number of cases means sh*t because they rely on testing. Testing is erratic at best due to material shortage and test protocols. Based on anti-bodies in donated blood about 3% of the people over 18 in the NL has been infected with Covid19 which in absolute numbers come down to 500k people. The offical number of cases showed somewhere around 20k at the time the 'sample' was taken. So far deaths are the best indication (and even those can be off by double digit percentages and there is a lag between getting infected and dying). Looking at this data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Japan it seems Johns Hopkins' data is wrong for Japan. --- Quote from: EEVblog on April 20, 2020, 11:25:06 pm ---Australian schools will be back on a staggered roster, one day a week, different grades on different days. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-21/coronavirus-return-to-nsw-school-plan-revealed/12166526 --- End quote --- I expect the same is about to happen here. Many shops have been converted and are opened or about to open. Maybe gyms will open soon as well (I hope that includes the swimming pools too). In case of gyms I read that they won't allow people to shower and change though. |

Some types of stores that had been forced to close were also allowed to open again, so you can now again get a haircut, a tattoo, a massage, a beauty treatment, among other things. Maybe it is just me but neither of those things seem very critical or easy to do while keeping a distance |

Over here, they should reopen on the 11th of May as well, although the conditions have not been made clear yet. It's likely that the partial end of confinement will be associated with measures such as mandatory wearing of masks, at least in some situations like in public transport, etc. Maybe for school teachers as well. (Oh yeah didn't they claim masks were useless? ;D ) |

They remoddeled the waiting room (take chairs out), increased the amount of ventilation and manage the patients more strictly (no people coming along). Since the work they are doing already involves taking measures against spreading viral infections like hepatitis, HIV, etc the only thing they added as an extra protection is a full face mask. |
