2019-nCoV Coronovirus (COVID-19]

Hello everyone

Coronavirus Deaths: Remembering NY, NJ and CT residents lost to COVID-19

 

Still believe in this bullshit?

 

Yes when the the number of deaths outweigh the number of confirmed cases by 80,500 you know it's just maths.

 

Have not watched this yet, so posting it to come back to later. I've enjoyed the few episodes I've seen from this series but they have primarily dealt with astronomy and cosmos type stuff.

Just to be clear, this is on the original Sars not the current one.

 

A liar would have taken a little more care, I think.

 

This is super cool. Viruses by the Amoeba Sisters.



I learned about the Amoeba Sisters from my Biology professor last summer. They have videos on lots of scientific subjects, but this one has to do with viruses... it's 6:48, but pretty interesting.

 

4 year old video of a documentary on how homeless people are buried in various places in the US




Short doco on inmates burying homeless and people too poor to afford a funeral at Hart's Island in New York. This is the same location you recently saw on the news as supposedly the city building mass graves for Covid victims. There are a million people buried there it has been going on for decades. Not all coffins you recently saw on the news where for Covid victims, some were just homeless people that died due to other reasons




A video from 1990 showing burials in the same location




A news story from 2 years ago about erosion causing human remains from the island to break free

 

yeah that one video goes back to 2017 and they make like it was taken today..
On a normal day, 145 people die in New York City. Last week, coronavirus alone killed over 200 per day

 

A survey from last year saying that only 37% of US teenagers, 13 to 17 get their news from TV networks, the vast majority get their news from Social Media and YouTube

Flattening the Curve, Then What? - The Hastings Center

 

"The combined €750 billion is a massive investment - nearly half the country's GDP. And that GDP is expected to plunge by eight per cent in the course of 2020. Italy's economy was already vulnerable, with a high debt-to-GDP ratio and high unemployment. In October 2019, before the crisis began, the unemployment rate was already at around 10 per cent. The fear now is that even when the lockdown is lifted, thousands of jobs in retail, tourism and hospitality will have simply evaporated, which is what the government's aid package is intended to address"

Gah! Looks like Virgin Australia is going under for good, which will leave us with one domestic carrier

China has now reported 300 new cases between April 11 to 13

 

"A leading UK-based firm will be summoned on Tuesday by MPs to answer questions over security concerns.

There are concerns that the Chinese owner of Imagination Technologies has renewed efforts to transfer ownership of sensitive security software to companies controlled by China.

Lawmakers worry the coronavirus crisis is diverting attention from controversial technology transfers.

The fear is that networks in the UK, Europe and the US could be compromised.

Speaking to the BBC, Tom Tugendhat, the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee said he was concerned that technology developed by Imagination Technologies, based in Hertfordshire, could be used to fine tune the design of so-called "backdoors" into strategically important digital infrastructure"
