Coronavirus

It's quite an invasive procedure (but not painful). They say if you don't gag and splutter, you haven't been tested correctly.

When I was inclined to be tested, the tests weren't available because my name wasn't Tom Hanks. Now I wouldn't get tested unless required to e.g. by my employer.

This validates the views set out in article.

L2R2R, so you wouldn't get tested if you had symptoms? Not knowing your occupation, would you still front up to work with symptoms?
 
Can't resist posting my favourite Nordic Socialism meme again. This meme can never ever be shown too much. Ever.

Just not many get very very sick.

In New York 8 children under 17 have died, 7 of them had underlying health conditions. Over 20,000 dead.

2 deaths out of over 30,000 of people under 19 in Italy. Less than 60 deaths of people aged under 40. Imagine most if not all had underlying health conditions.

It's almost as if people with underlying health conditions don't matter.

That's exactly what I said. A good cleanout is exactly what we need. Hopefully the second wave gets those that may have just survived the first.
 
28yo Professioanl Sumo wrestler in Japan with no underlying conditions died of Covid-19 this week.

Took him a while to get into a hospital because they were full. He got in eventually but died in 5 days I think.

The younger do get it and can get it bad, but they respond to treatment better and survive. But without treatment they are also in trouble. It's that need for treatment that's breaking the health systems.

OK so for those of us that have underlying health conditions we had better get one of those personal security firm contracts that Gia has been sprouting

Won't help you. May as well just bump yourself off.

Yes, younger people do get it, but in minute numbers and even smaller numbers die.

Almost 3000 people under 29 committed suicide in Japan last year.

From the looks of him he had one of the most relevant underlying conditions.
 
Sorry to be off topic, but . . . you forgot Windows NT 3.51 and NT 4. I loved NT4. I was a graphic designer back then and everyone ran Macs, running OS9 or earlier which crashed 10 times a day. OSX (Free BSD with a pretty GUI) finally caught up. NT4 was so stable - I remember it crashed about twice a year. XP was great, 7 was fine but it just continues to get more bloat.

Ah yes didn't that evolve into a server-based solution, business oriented?
