The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
- old population
- epicentre was the most productive side of the country, with highest density
- different mistakes were done, Italy was the first one to be touched from coronavirus in Europe amd inexperience made the rest.
Europe 've rected to same way , minimizing coronavirus at the beginning (and that's fostering the spread of the infection), deceiving ourselves that it'd not have changed our habits, and at the end accepting the reality of the things : it 's a unprecedented thing and you must treat it harshly. Sacrifices and waivers. A total lockdown for defending. Even Sweden gave up.
Anyway defence is not enough , we should also be able to attack it...it'd be fundamental to identify that ppl who are immune from coronavirus now ( scientists are working for tests capable to detectie antibodies in people cured of coronavirus . In this way this immune ppl come back to work and to consent a productive restart. Need , we can't even starve)
Mistakes I said it. For example it wasn't done immediately a " Red Side "( Red Side = Lockdown) for Bergamo side and of course that's creating controversy.
It's been an incredible mistake not do it.
During this week Italy government and Lombardia region passed the buck on who had to institute Red Side ( since 2001 there is a division of competences between State and Regions.. I add that Coronavirus and so many different Health Systems are showing the flaws of this Federalism ,requested by North Lega - when it was still North Lega and not Lega led by Salvini aka the Italian AfD ) and they've found out yesterday that .. yes... there was a law that permitted to Lombardia to do it.
P.s. I don't know why we're talking about races. but of course they don't exsist. It just a cultural construction. You can't talk about races in a scientific way. Only DNA differentiates human beings . Not by chance same person can be considered as "black" in USA but "white" in Brazil.

PiS has really gone off the rails. Topics for next sitting in parliament consist mainly of abortion ban and punishment for sex ed and other nonsense. I have no idea what they're planning because none of it makes sense. Sounds like a diversion of sorts. Dark ages lol.

How come the opposition are so weak in Poland, is it Communism blowback and general distrust toward anything resembling a leftist government? feels like the right has unlimited power tbh.

The right has more people in the parliament so they are quite successful in pushing nonsense through.
The left holds "senat" and the right holds "sejm". Sejm is more important, if a decision is 50/50 it goes to the senate (they reject), and then it goes back to sejm and it usually follows through with minor changes and then the President always signs it because he's a right-wing puppet.
And now they're also starting to break constitution and do what they want, so its even worse, and is quickly getting out of hand.
EU should be more aggresive in these cases but the rules are if one state is against action toward someone then they can do very little, and so Hungary is as corrupt as our government and we vote in favor of Hungary and they in return block any action against us and nothing is being done.

Honestly is there a former Communist country ( that was under Warsaw Treaty ) that is not so in recent years ? It's a common situation and I feel it's not a case. Even German East landers ( former DDR) 've this orientation

Poland, just similar to Ukraine, is basically 2 countries acting as one.
By that I mean, the East part of the country is so different to the West part. It's evident in the voting pattern, culture, where job opportunities are, and just the overall mentality. I feel the change of borders after the war plays a role when you think Lvov was part of Poland and Wroclaw was a German city.
I've lived in Wroclaw for 7 months now and god my job requires me to meet so many people from different walks of life, and I have met ONE solitary PiS supporter. I've met more Konfederacja (which is like the Gen Z version right wing) supporters than PiS supporters even lol PiS technically economically bribes the poor farmers and the non-industrious east and they turn out for the votes and of course playing on the religion. Both of us know what a cancer it is when religion is mixed with politics and politicians use it to advance their agendas.
Here in Wroclaw everyone tells me if I go to somewhere like Bialystok, Lublin, Rzesow in the east, I'd immediately feel like I am in a completely different country and people will look at me weirdly.
I wanted to make the trip this month...but corona hit
Pedram...to get a true sense of the real cultural divide in Poland, I recommend you watch this movie. It came to Polish cinema on March 6, I watched it before the lockdown. It's amazing !!

Czech is an interesting case...they are definitely still more right wing than left, but lots more balanced than Poland and Baltic states. technically an Atheist nation and perhaps the only European ex-Warsaw pact country who has a normal functioning relationship with Russia.

Don't go.... its rubbish. Poland is basically 2 countries as you said, we call it Poland A and Poland B.
Poland A is more left-wing/central, better developed and more welcoming to foreigners. Poland B is way more religious and backwards.
The only place I'd recommend you to go in the East is Warsaw.
Here is a map of the divide:

I really find it scary and also puzzling, why there's quite such a reactionary rush suddenly, growing, in the recent decade or so, towards pre-modern, pre-emancipation, pre-secular ideas in some of the conservative parts and parties of modern societies.
How the fuck does sex education, basic, modest feminist or women's rights ideas, or just being secular, generally believing in scientific finding, suddenly become such a tick off for those people?
I really thought we all were further than this. I never thought there could be attempts to roll back progress like this.
I mean, Poland is, or has been in recent decades, a modern, liberal, democratic county, like any other country. There's so many smart, normal, nice, open minded people there. But the momentum of some political developments is downright horrifying.
Same in other countries, I mean look a the fucking US, the shining city on the hill. What's going on?
And btw, why are getting people off on destroying their country's nature? How is that 'conservative'?
Apart from the occasional weekend visit to a good friend's parents' house in the countryside near Boleslawiec, the last trip I took to Poland was cycling from Biawa Podlaska way in the east northwards through Lithuania to Riga, a few years ago. Beautiful stuff, great people, great countryside.
And btw, literally better cell phone reception in the wilderness next to the Bug river, right at the Belorussian border, than in Berlin Mitte
But apparently just before, PiS government had removed national park protections gain against logging.
So when we rode through the buffalo national park there, one of the remaining primeval forests in Europe I guess, there was the noise of chainsaws, and huge piles of freshly cut timber everywhere ..
what's the upside here? what's fantastic about fracking, and destroying forests?
it's just simple greed in the end, isn't it

Art Morte wrote:Apparently black people in the US have been proportionally more affected by corona than other groups. Is it because:
a) they live in more crowded suburbs?
b) they don't comply with social distancing rules as well as others?
c) something else?
Pedram's correct in that lotta black folks live in more urban areas (which have less living space than the suburbs).
Here in the Detroit area, blacks folks make up a sizable share of the gig and minimum wage economy. They can't afford to shelter in place and many can't work from home due to the nature of their jobs, which require mobility. So they expose themselves to the virus at higher numbers.
As a direct result of the above, nlack folks are also far more likely to live below the poverty line and are therefore far less likely to have a primary care physician. Instead, we only really visit doctors for serious issues (Emergency room) or minor issues (Urgent Care). Since Covid-19 treatment has to begin with the primary care physician, this automatically reduces the pathways for infected blacks to get proper care in hospitals. As such, many contract the virus and because respiratory problems like Asthma are more prominent and prevalent in black people, it ravages our respiratory systems more severely. Other conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and a very high chance for heart disease also make the virus more deadly for black folks as well.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
I think it's way too early to make an observation comparing mortality rate between different ethnic groups.
Right now, there's only solid evidence to say (based on a large sample size) that death rate is higher in old people and ones with pre-existing conditions. Death rate is also twice as much higher in males than females but that could more to do with the male to female ratio in various countries I suppose.
And as pointed out the cultural practices in different countries are different. Lot of hugging and kissing in Latin culture. The younger ones live with their families. And that some nations(and their leaders) were more pro-active than the others and were quick to take action to combat the virus and hence a lesser number of deaths.
Nothing wrong with Sepi's observation but there is just so many other determining factors as to why countries like Italy or Spain have more number of casualties compared to the rest especially when the worst is yet to come for many countries.
On other note :
Just wow

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
Anyway it's passed a month since lockdown in Italy and it seems descent is starting on.
the downward trend appears as confirmed . today we've 3'039 new cases,, yesterday increase had been 3,599 units and Sunday even 4,316.
Today we've 604 deaths (yesterday there were 636), while the healed people are 1,555 (yesterday by 1,022), the second highest value ever. For this reason, the number of people currently ill increases "only" for 880 units, compared to 1,941 yesterday: it's the lowest increase since 10 March.
Still phase 1 of course.
Phase 2 ( the gradual reopening of some productive sectors)is expected for May if situation continues to improve.

Re: The Coronavirus Thread - Part 3
Well, voting is occurring today in WI, the only state that did not postpone the election. The courts and the legislature teamed up on the executive (Governor Evers) to successfully block any postponement of the election. They actually went one step further, and the US Supreme Court decided that absentee ballots would have to be postmarked TODAY to count in the primary.
It has been reported that many who requested an absentee ballot relatively late on have yet to receive their ballot today. Thus...how can they fill it out and postmark it...jesus christ.
Great shame today is felt in Wisconsin by many. My father, who i've mentioned before is a Republican and voted for Trump in 2016, sent a vehemently worded letter to the local state representative, vowing never to vote for him again. His attitude extended to the entire WI Republican party. I think he might actually vote Democrat in upcoming state level elections. I actually look around and a great many conservatives that I know are disappointed and upset by this election occurring. Liberals are angry. I'm angry. Absolutely nobody is happy. This is an embarrassment for the state on a national level.
Republicans will probably get what they want, though. At the cost of lives, they are pursuing a state supreme court spot. They know it's important. In 2020, when the Governor rejects the gerrymandered maps the WI legislature comes up with, the courts will draw up the map. Republicans needed that to be a conservative court, so they can continue on with criminal levels of gerrymandering.
Evers fought hard and even forced an eleventh hour decision from the courts. However, I am a bit disappointed. I needed more from him. It isn't his fault, but his inability to postpone the election will likely cost lives in the short term, and cost the state politically for the upcoming decade. I might move to Minnesota

Oh, btw, an astonishing fact that tells you the level of voter suppression:
Milwaukee, which tends to have 180 polling stations open for the city of 600,000 will have just 5 polling stations open today. Polling stations are cut short due to a lack of poll workers (volunteers who tend to be retired individuals AKA the at risk individuals for COVID-19) and polling stations (often can be in nursing homes or homeless shelters, places that don't work now).

My bro's report who works in a hospital in Hamburg:
Additional ICU capacity was freed by postponing non immediate operations etc.
As of now, half of the hospital is empty because the expected coronavirus wave of sick people isn't there. Lots of them, including him, stay for the most part at home through Kurzarbeit, for there isn't much to do.
According to statistics, Hamburg is one of the most hard hit region per capita in Germany
Either the measures work extremly well or the Wuhan virus is overestimated.
