I hope it keeps going that way Pat. And then people don’t think it is under control and drop their hygiene standards and social distancing.
Your reply was too ridiculous to deserve anything else. Your numbers weren't facts.... It was a miscalculation by you.
All the smug dudes on here who are “well positioned” are in for a big shock. We will be in for a narrative like post war, “all in this together” and there will be widespread support socially for smashing the rich 1/2% who are the only ones who make a net contribution now. Cash may feel good now but we all have tangible illiquid assets that will be crushed. The “bottom” 30/40pc who live week to week, have debts every month and few assets will benefit from a zillion subsidies and write offs (paid for by the owners of capital and income) and Q1 2021 with likely near full employment will feel like Q4 2020 for them. It won’t for us.
And yet again... it’s not about the deaths, it’s about the overwhelming of the ICU wards. Hospitalisation rate is about double normal flu, many requiring ICU and also longer stays. For the record, Sunshine Coast University Hospital has precisely 8 ICU beds...
Really? How so? (This'll be good) Sounds like a classic case of backpedaling. What do you NOW say your calculation of 0.4% was meant to demonstrate?
