How will that be implemented? Everyone will need to carry some kind of Covid loyalty card?
- I believe 100% in Corona (You get a hospital bed)
- I don't believe in Corona (You get kicked to the curbside)
- I am somewhere in the middle and don't know what to believe (You get half a bed)

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | One more economist proud to show economists know very little about politics and doing things in the real world: | Quote: |  | | | «Ceux qui ignorent volontairement les règles de distanciation sociale et d’hygiène doivent assumer la responsabilité de leurs actes. | | | | | I'm more worried about the people that are convinced of doing the right while failing miserably in real life: leaving the nose out of the mask, not staying at home even if sneezing/coughing frequently, not keeping distance in the supermarket/public transport, making reunions at home above the max people limit. If the fines are applied to them, welcome. If the fines are for people who think different.........this is wrong. It's like not giving a fine to someone who missed a traffic light because he believes in the rules. What matters are actions, not ideas.

| | Re: Coronavirus | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | Czech doctors raised their voices the same way but against smokers who suffer dificult Covid and need hospitalization. Even people who wear masks 24/7 or isolate very well still got infected in CZ because the viral load was really high and one was expected to still face certain risk and get ill when they really wouldn't expect it, attention is not 100% at all times. There is no bullet-proof protection and Czech health system knows it well. But smokers who need hospitalization for lung problems in Covid times exhausted the doctors and they published an appeal to the public cca month and a half ago.
Another news from the Eastern European Front - some medical personnel from US, GB and Deutschland arrived, the foreign medical professionals are impressed at the engagement, moral, determination and attention to detail of the local health system. Yo. Communities help eachother, too, try to influence my pople to not risk so much when they are being helpful to others, but it is futile. At least they got some extra PPE on its way.

(and of course not by refusing them medical treatment, there are other means)

Clear now that the peak is definitely behind us. One does wonder if this would even be the case without any measures being implemented. For example Flu pandemics mostly have a similar shaped curve.

| | Re: Coronavirus
I had a thought whilst out walking.
We've seen that vaccine effectiveness is of the order of 90-95%. Is it possible that natural infection has a similar effectiveness? It'd explain why there are occasional but low levels of reinfection.
If that's indeed the case, 3rd and subsequent infections should be very rare indeed.

Sadly numbers don't lie, therefore two things may have occurred: (i) measures were not followed, (ii) measures are not useful. Choose one. | | | | | The relâchement made sense it you compare with other cantons, they probably thought. SLow spread versus no numbers seemed to justify it enough back then. I think there is something like a silent spread where dots are not connected together but they should be. In CZ it was elections as well, going on holidays in Spain, open markets, etc. But considering that people there wore masks religiously for months and just let go for a month - there you go. From being the best in the world (with Israel) to the worst daily cases and deaths in the world, within cca 2 months. 2nd lockdown is really hard on the economy and so they are opening up this week, slowly...baby steps but still steps. Kids need to progress. Still, I would not even count on Xmas if the world wants to mingle and people sit at the same table with their folks.
There is a thing that will in my opinion push the cantons with high cases towards relaxing the measures and cantons with low cases becoming more strict - there is a big intercantonal mobility, still. VD is still overpopulated with people from other cantons who really need to come to our IKEA in Vaud for some plastic Xmas trinkets made in China, or to our paper-shop to buy a glue stick. RIGHT NOW. It cannot wait. (and it is not even glitter-glue, meh). | Quote: | |  | | | I had a thought whilst out walking.

Clearly cases are coming off, the tougher numbers not so much yet. Might have to do with increasing share of more infections in older population. So let's not uncork the champagne too early. The example here in EF of the person with brain surgery delayed is sobering.

So when restrictions are imposed, the infection curve is the first to peak and go down, followed by the hospitalizations curve, then the deaths curve.
