@Baron-Silas-Greenback said in Coronavirus - Overall/Rest of the World:
Spanish chicks are waaaaaaay hotter though
Now this is the very reason why I visit selected web discussion sites ¹, to find information I never really knew about before!
¹ where one can lie without people knowing too. Mrs Mick is half Spanish and Baron-Silas-Greenback is quite right, but that doesn't suit my point.

Front page of The Australian:
Backpackers emerge as new infection cluster
Virus infects several Bondi backpackers, as NSW clocks highest daily figure with 97 new cases.
Being young and stupid pays off alright, there is always someone more responsible and smarter to fix up their problems. Their brains are made of blancmange - all they know is "they" will send an ambulance out to collect and chauffeur them to the hospital and it costs 'em nothing. If you tell them they are not worth it they cry.
Resilient? Not by a long shot.

Yeah I see Australia shooting up the list. They were always a competitive country when it comes to medal charts. With the bondi beach mentality they’ll make rapid progress up the ranks.

Man Italy showing no signs of slowing down.
Can't seem to see confirmation of any new cases here, looks like a further 2?
I don't know what the hell they are doing there.
The public are not following advice to stay at home. I was told that the Italian government asked a Telco to track their mobile phones and 40% of the population was regularly on the move. This will be mostly the younger generation who will then have contact with their family/grandparents and you know the rest...
In my experience from visiting the tourist traps and landmarks of Europe, the only thing more ignorant and entitled than a coach load of Italian teenagers is a coach load of Spanish ones. I’m unsurprised they do whatever they want.
Spanish chicks are waaaaaaay hotter though
Not if you’re a fan of hair ....
The usual games going on here. Brits out n about with commentary of being foolish / not listening then shots from Italy /Spain of people all in their apartments with a fear headline of how it’s going to much worse here as we aren’t listening ...
Don’t have to dig deep to discover Europe not being as compliant as suggested.

Just started reading a story on Stuff about how India is the next hotspot. Apparently they've only got 300 cases.
Firstly, bullshit. It's going to be fucking Armageddon there I reckon.
Secondly, it worries me how many medicines are manufactured there and how this will affect supplies to the west.
I can't see India coping with this like China has.

Probably better in this thread.
Post under investigation as it violated rules... available anywhere else?

Once you travel there and see the filth and pestilence, you have to marvel at their immune systems to have over a billion of them.

@Bones do you know what rules?
They don't say, but at a guess it could violate three:
- Your story should contain original insight, ideas or perspectives. Don’t just aggregate the work of others, and don’t plagiarize.
- Put a nice image on your story — just make sure you’re not violating someone else’s copyright.
- Finally, please don’t peddle pseudoscience or bad health advice. Life’s already too short to give people bad health advice.

@antipodean sooooo, you didn't like it then?

They're not my rules and I did like it.

@antipodean those are their quoted rules?
I didn't love the whole piece (when does anyone, ever), but other than maybe #1 (and he did quote sources), surely it didn't fall foul of #2 or #3
Given the stuff they publish daily, that piece was one of the last I'd have expected to be pulled.
At the end of the day it's an opinion piece, clearly not the opinion of Medium

I liked it because it used evidence from authoritative sources to point out closing schools and beaches is not evidence based policy.
