David Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I see there's been a second COVID-19 cluster in Beijing, linked to a wholesale food market. 106 new cases over the past five days after going 50 days with zero new cases. Quote
Retro Red Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 24 days to be exact, and the 2 cases were Brits who were allowed to fly over to see a dying relative. Apparently they and the 1 other person they had close contact with since arriving have been isolated. Quote

The queues for Primark alone in my local paper were embarrassing. Hundreds of people smashed together like sardines. Quote

Thought it was 14 days and there's been millions out on the streets protesting since the end of May so there should be a huge spike worldwide right about now Quote

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 19, 2020 Interesting piece from the FT gathering together different data on what does and doesn't affect the risk of catching/spreading it: https://www.ft.com/content/2418ff87-1d41-41b5-b638-38f5164a2e94 TL;DR: Indoor far more risky than outdoor; time is just as important as distance; masks are good in indoor crowded places but it's bad to keep taking them off and on (which means touching them and risking getting the virus on it; large gatherings are terrible.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 23, 2020 Paid Members Posted June 23, 2020 Can't believe he didn't declare July 4th as being "Our Independence Day" Quote
CavemanLynn Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Barbers and hairdressers, yes, but nail bars no? What? Two metres "where possible", otherwise one metre. So one metre if you don't give a shit then. Quote
