Final Solution...

"Everyone jump off a bridge," said a representative of the government.

So... Merely 'taking a swim' is a cure? Who (pun intended) would've thunk it?!

That's at least twice as far apart as they would normally be.

Plus, they use the metric system -- perhaps that's what they all think "six feet" is.

Ah! Yes! Perhaps, in the interests of universal comprehension, said guideline (Re: minimum interpersonal distance) should read: 'six light nanoseconds' (which being ≈ 6.1 feet) -Puh-len-ty close enough for Govt. work - and over an inch to 'spare' in the bargain

Funny thing, I heard one news report asking people to stay 1.8 metres apart.
I can only guess that someone tried to convert 6 feet into metric.

Of course, that will only work if everyone else has the same rig. That rig is clearly not six feet in radius (unless that guy is REALLY tall!).

 

A break on premiums.

Oh boy... whatever happened to wholesome morality? ... the nerve of these people!:

A group of sunbathing nudists in the Czech Republic were recently told they needed to cover up, just not in the way that most would expect. While they were completely free to remain nude, local ordinances required that they keep their mouths covered due to the global coronavirus outbreak.

'sok. Wasn't looking at her face anyway.

 

Maybe they were really really ugly about their faces?

I am doing my part by "taking a hike" as often as I can

 

What do people remember of "the flu" when they were a kid ? I know it can kill, but who remember's their parents being scarred enough to even get much more than a few days off school. My grandparents were kids when the spanish flu went around too

You are able to talk about it today because your grandparents survived.
Think about that for a moment.

 

I had the flu a couple of years ago ... honestly, I thought my life was coming to an end ... The difference here is the higher mortality rate, and especially the far higher contagion rate.

Assuming they were 'stricken' -and- prior to his parent{s}' conception/birth, that is...

"i"s dotted and "t"s crossed -- I feel all better now

We lost a great-grandfather to the Spanish Flu. I've had the Flu several times and was miserable with it. Terrible congestion and fever but I was much younger. Now I religiously get my Flu vaccination. The problem with us old farts is the congestion just flat wears us out from expending so much energy just trying to breathe. I've known older folks who ended up in the hospital on Oxygen from it but luckily none of my friends have passed from it, yet.

 

... luckily none of my friends have passed from it, yet.

I'm quite young compared to most vets (55) in this place, and luckily I haven't lost a close friend up to this point in life.

My friends and I have made it a habit of getting together every single Thursday when we can. Sometimes there's only four of us, sometimes a dozen, and sometimes even more... although due to the present situation, it's been more than a month since our last gathering, which was great btw.

Anyway, a few years ago we began to make it a habit of making a last toast before we left the table and headed home to our lives and families. The tradition now is that we always drink at the end of the night to: "F**k the first of us who dies first!"

As I said earlier, no casualties so far...

 

So far, the only informative article I found on this is regarding treatment. Everything else is bad data and fearmongering. It is a good commentary on hospital love of "protocols" and not treating an individual patient and their physiology. It really speaks to something I have often wondered - patient dies, the answer is, the right protocol was used, we are not liable. But what if it was the protocol that killed the patient?

Do things by the book ... and yet things go wrong ... it definitely tells you something about the book

Indeed! -- It has long been my stance that the 'case-by-case approach' is always representitive of the most appropriate/just paradigm in all aspects of experience (To wit: a stance wholly including --albeit limited not merely to-- healthcare). That said --where appropriately regarded-- 'protocols' are with their value in that same frequently provide highly useful 'points of reference', as it were...
