    Deaths climbing fast as well but they are too early to be related to Thanksgiving.

    "Laysplaining" - when someone without qualifications but based on Google searches lectures medical experts on where they have got it wrong.

    Really does look like it was important to have guns drawn...

    Gov DeSantis fired FL’s coronavirus data scientist. So she’s started publishing COVID statistics on her own. Today police stormed her home/pointed a gun at her kids & confiscated her tech.

    US, now over 300,000 deaths, last daily death count over 3000...in one day, 300,000 infections- in ONE DAY.

    That is now about 0.1% of the population that died. And 0.1 % getting infected every day (that we know of, testing still a clusterfuck in many areas so there are likely many more infected than we know about).

    Only been in the UK for a little over 24 hours and I’ll admit I’m pleasantly surprised with what I’ve seen so far. Widespread face mask wearing seems to be a no-brainer now but I’m more impressed with the social distancing. Could you imagine people distancing themselves in a HK supermarket (at a checkout for example)? Even queuing up for a coffee: helped by distance markers on the floor.

    Isn't there something wrong here though?

    They are trying super-hard but failing, HKers are not trying so hard (in supermarkets) but it is mostly under control.

    Maybe the UK is tackling the wrong problem?!

    There’s not enough space in HK. People would be queuing into the road all over town if this was mandated.

    I’ve seen quite a few people report how well the UK has done on social distancing versus HK but the spread of COVID tells a different story.
