DiegoDiego Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've also read a theory that Sweden's problem with their "do as you're told and we won't have to legally enforce restrictions" approach is that while most Swedes are very compliant, there are immigrant ghettos where the social norms are very different and these are being hit hard.I've not actually seen any data on this and it's hard to find decent discussion on it that doesn't descend into accusations of racism, but it makes sense that if cultural norms do play a part in the spread of the virus then a country like Sweden with a huge proportion of recent immigrants may be affected as the theory proposes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can look forward to four days of gash figures which will be blithely washed over with the now customary 'delays in reporting' excuse.

I think it was Alan Quartermain or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm getting to love these daily press conferences - there are always some little London based media nobodies in attendance, strongly hinting in their questions that the Scottish government should be taking their cue from Westminster, and not trying to jump the gun with whatever decisions they decide to take. They just don't grasp that these are matters devolved to Scotland, and that our government is primarily concerned with protecting the Scottish NHS. Nicola has become very adept at putting these useless c***s in their place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that the size of the country doesn't effect the speed of the spread is nonsense. It makes sense that bigger countries will have more people bringing the virus in. I would guess Holland and Belgium look bad as they are small nations with high levels of international travellers. Hasn't Holland got one of the highest population densities in Europe? I would think Belgium must be fairly high on the list as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that unlike some countries all suspected care home deaths are included even if there is no testing done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There recorded deaths are far more accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Is it just me or is this very good news?Is there something missing in the number, or is this a clear decline? Drop in hospital deaths - but won't include deaths in care homes etc.Difficult to tell tbqh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It might be good news but it’s a single day figure for a reporting system that seems inefficient at bestHave we sorted our weekend stats yet - or will the numbers over the weekend be low again, only for a big rise early in the week?And is there a plan to include the care home and deaths at home - or are we just continuing indefinitely with incomplete stats? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Correct, would rather have Ebola, SARS and Japanese Encephalopathy than watch that unfunny bore.I've had funnier shits than Limmy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
