Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

I do hope you can accept I find it impossible to write pompously and full of myself and having a large haemorroid irritating me.
I write tongue in cheek and maybe with a foot in my mouth when I wrote of having sauna and steam bath to chuck coviders and folks with flu inside to cure them. After all, when enough other people got this fetish that covid and flu sure to die off in summer when it got warmer than 20C, I should be entitiled to my tongue in cheek beliefs.

It's not a fetish. Influenza, absolutely, 100%, without a doubt, as a matter of fact, becomes sluggish in the summer. Nothing absolutely dies off. Very few people do get flu in the summer. However, we don't have a flu season in the summer. Lab works all around the world show convincing and consistent data that influenza and other known Coronaviruses love low temperatures less than 10oC, die off more easily at >20oC, die off quickly at high temperatures >50oC. Even COVID-19 has been shown, in the lab, to survive the best at 6oC and die more quickly as temperature goes up. Those are facts.

Again, I acknowledge that we still have no conclusive data on the COVID-19, as an outbreak, on the dependence of temperature. Later on, it may even be possible that clinical data show that the COVID-19 doesn't care about the hot weather. However, assuming such possibility is definitely not a fetish. This is because other Coronaviruses and flu do HATE hot weather (this is a FACT). Because of the high similarity between the COVID-19 and other Coronaviruses and flu, it is then a simple logical extrapolation that the COVID-19 may behave in a similar fashion. We may be proven wrong later, but that shouldn't be the basis for ridicule.

It will bounce back sometime. But there will be more restricitions and precautions when traveling and gathering in large groups. Think about the summer, few countries don't have music concerts, open beaches and outdoor cam
You insulted all Eastern Europeans with your "shitty" comment, that is against SDF forum rules, read the rules..
I`m Romanian, and i am not insulted. Eastern Europeans -1 :) The problem is that you see some of the best of us(IT people, doctors and nurses, engineers etc.) But also the very worst of us, the gypsy gangs of beggars and all sorts of organized crime members of any ethnicity.

I feel like I should get sick on purpose just so I become immune before the hospitals get innundated.

That's too dangerous. Don't believe the British official who said they want people to get infected to obtain immunity. that's what the vaccines are for. Getting some harmless bits of viral particles in a vaccine is a lot safer than gobbling down live viruses that no one can control. Keep in mind that you've got two huge enemies that you cannot control: your own immune system and the virus. Either one of them can kill you. When you combine both of them in your body, you may be in big trouble. Don't gamble.

Quite an interesting development...sure to draw the ire of many, but at least going towards repaying the non-government US aid sent earlier.

Taking the high road......though I wonder how much the central government agreed with this plan. All of it?

The situation is serious, its a world-wide pandemic after all. So shouldn't one expect one's commander-in-chief to behave in an adult manor?

Come on! Stop believing the hype. Ordinary people don't have issues with anyone from China, be it individuals or government, helping any other country in need of help. Including the USA.

What we have beef with, is that when China was in need of help, some of these countries are less than willing, with some even go as far as putting an embargo on "essential" supplies such as masks, etc!

That's not humanity!
