Popular Post sapson Posted February 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) Along with the daily its only the pesky migrant workers bulletins, perhaps just once they could publish the daily or weekly testing figures. Such as how many tested nationwide each day/week and in what provinces and the positives percentage. Edited February 17, 2021 by sapson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they showed no symptoms and they had travelled extensively the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 175 out of how many? Test size and populations tested would give us at least a rough idea of how widespread the virus is, if done properly. Not going to hold my breath, except when in a lift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria, Australia shut down for 5 days. Can't quite remember how many tests but around 120,00 since Sunday before last. Popuation 6.3 million. Take into account multiple tests on individuals so they are as sure as they can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at stories from the region, you'll see similar. China definitely has been doing this early on, blaming everyone but then selves. Other Chinese derivative countries around southeast Asia followed suit. It's pretty pathetic, but it's how they like to live here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US also knows exactly which races are getting more affected by covid. I bet you have no problem with that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WITHOUT A VACCINE WELL I NEVER!! 2 negative swabs over 24 hours is enough to 'recover'. Most are asymptomatic, so one can assume they are just waiting it out. The problem is that their antibodies will be low, and they risk reinfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
