Dare we dream?

Ok, so Cyprus has a Covid-19 test average of 27000 people per 1 million population. Very high in Europe. (if not the highest)
3 days ago we had 20 confirmed cases
2 days ago we had 15 confirmed cases
Yesterday we had 11 confirmed cases.

Dare I suggest we're winning the war?

Can we attribute this to the lock down or not?? Or was it stupid to lock us down, as some suggest??

You decide.

My personal view is that both extensive testing and follow up tracing and measures to reduce spread (lockdown), things the RoC has been 'good on' in comparative terms have helped to keep the numbers so far as low as they are and heading in the right direction.

Sweden is somewhere to watch in terms of the effects or 'relaxed lockdown'.

I think you're right Erol.
We haven't had a Covid death in 6 days straight...
This, coming from a country where paranoia and conspiracy is a given.

Another interesting observation is the Case fatality rate in Sweden (10.7%) vs Norway (2.3%).

This has happened even if the outburst in Norway was quite early and rapid (for a brief time, Norway had the highest infection rate among countries with more than 1 mill inhabitants).

Sweden's infection rate is now 10% higher than its neighbor (1424 vs 1306 per million)

The virus has sidelined Greta… imagine her fury!

Yes. Given that the world is apparently now a pollution-free paradise I imagine Extinction Rebellion are really pissed off.

The thing that most puts people off the "climate emergency activists" outfit is I think it's religious-like aspects. Fanatics - deniers (apostates/heretics - burn them!). Now of course they even have their own child saint.

From another scientific paper just out (not yet peer reviewed):

Under the three scenarios for test performance characteristics, the population prevalence of COVID-19 in Santa Clara ranged from 2.49% (95CI 1.80-3.17%) to 4.16% (2.58-5.70%). These prevalence estimates represent a range between 48,000 and 81,000 people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50-85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases. Conclusions The population prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases. Population prevalence estimates can now be used to calibrate epidemic and mortality projections.

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101 ... 20062463v1

Scientific tests show that 50-85 times more people were infected than the number of confirmed cases. This surely means that the vast number of people experience no symptoms when catching this virus, and it makes a mockery of previous case mortality rates based on case numbers involving people who present severe symptoms alone.

So, were do you think UK is heading in April?
March in green, April in yellow

When cities open beaches such as in Florida and the people flock to them, even if they were to follow distancing with 2 meters which most do not anyway, they are too stupid to understand, that the breeze blowing onshore will carry any virus coughed or sneezed much further distance than just 2 meters. Stupid is, stupid does, which I heard somewhere!

If these people are under fifty and in reasonable health, the risk to them from the coronavirus is negligible and they are most likely to suffer absolutely no symptoms and at worst something resembling a cold for a couple of days, so why are they stupid? Even better, they will then have immunity. I would humbly suggest that those who have been taken in by the false narrative that has been spun around this virus are stupid. But there is nothing to stop the latter from cowering in isolation at home if they wish to do so, but let's make it voluntary.

Countless young & healthy people have died from this virus (it's all over the news), and many of those “recovered” are now with permanently damaged lungs.

This virus is very nasty and lurking out of control, and if it just so happens to come in your direction you’ll regret the day you were born!

It breaks my heart to see what the Guardian has become, once the British daily that I felt most closely aligned to, and now that “according to its most recent tax filings in 2014, the Gates Foundation has an on-going $5.69 million grant to Guardian News Media Limited” https://fair.org/home/this-guardian-pie ... ill-gates/ it has turned into nothing more than a mouthpiece for big pharma when it is not branding Jeremy Corbyn an anti-Semite.
No, I am afraid nowadays to get more cutting-edge stuff, such as the following, about big-pharma’s man who has the ear of a stupid president, you have to search a bit harder:
“Yet this fraud has shaped the career of Tony Fauci for more than 35 years. Fauci as head of NIAID has taken millions from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as well as the Clinton Foundation along with tens of billions from US taxpayers for this bogus research.”
…
“The Fauci-Gilead scam of promoting Truvada for healthy people to ‘reduce risk’ of HIV is a marker for the level of medical malpractice and in some cases evident criminal abuse of human health that the current White House coronavirus guru, A. Fauci, represents.”
