This 'pandemic' has really brought out the bootlickers in society. This "any cost for the sake of safety" shit is going way too far to embolden those who crave for a power trip.

Our wonderful Otter Primarch already gave you a thorough explanation. But here's the tl;dr for dunces:
-genotype is what the DNA says something should be biologically.
-fenotype is what it actually is. Because despite what genetic determinists say, they are in fact idiots.
-mutation is a change in genotype.
-strain is a buncha viri with the same genotype.
-serotype is a change on the external fenotype of the virus.
Reason this matters: most mutations don't actually change fenotype. They can be detected and that's cool for science but the actual virus is the same. Serotypes however aren't the same to one another so when viri change that is when you gotta really start freaking the fuck out.
Reddit can be useful for like table games or mods or shit like that. But it's antithetical to actual discourse, go there to know a game's cheats or someone's strategy for being the most efficient mass murderer in mount and blade. Don't go for anything else. It's not worth it.
Are you sure redditors aren't joozes?
It keeps amazing me just how bad police get outside of spain. We've got one or two looneys here and our cops sometimes have gotten shite, specially under rajoi, as everything else, and people're still on the mindset of the cops being evil. Or at least they were before the virus. But they haven't stopped doing their job, they've been helping local initiatives and even starting a few. And they sure as shit haven't policed what we fucking buy. Meanwhile it seems outside of spain you either got the brit and german cops going full gestapo or the american and french just disappearing never to be seen again like a buncha fucking cowards. I hope the rest of europe is at least at our level if not better. The polish and hungarian kiwis please clarify how it's been around there. 'Cause as much as this makes me see our cops in a more positive light it also makes me weep for the state of humanity as a whole. Cops are in charge of ensuring discipline, if they have no discipline themselves they suck at their fucking job. This is honestly incredible to me.
EDIT: forgot the morning update. Nothing's changed really. I'm fairly sure reason politicians started sending people back to work on a saturday is 'cause most don't work on weekends so that's probably why no spike came. That was clever of them actually, it makes this weekend a good test. Tomorrow's monday so that'll be the real wave. We'll see how it goes.

Nah, now he's out of the woods, this is the right time to reveal how bad it was and that he'll be away from our screens and briefings for a few more weeks yet.
It's actually pretty damn good if you look at it purely on a propaganda point of view. BoJo was so busy trying to steer Britannia through these choppy waters he damn near killed himself in the process. It raises his mythos a little more, endears him to the public a bit more.
You really can't get a more "all in this, and this is a cruel war" than if the PM nearly ups and dies on you in the process.

Lifetime immunity for him to be criticised on his handling of the NHS because he will be able to say honestly that they saved his life and have a special place in his heart.
Honestly, people have underestimated Boris for years. The media treating him as a Buffoon when he’s nothing of the sort. It’s fascinating how he is of the establishment and yet often works against agendas.

The encouraging news emerging from London's St Thomas' Hospital was last night brought crashing into perspective as friends revealed how close the Prime Minister had been to death

He's born of it, but is more about setting the establishment to his tune and philosophy. It happens every so often and you see it whenever you do get a good revolution going or someone who influences the direction of travel (hopefully) for decades to come.
You always get a member of the aristocracy or establishment going "actually, I think I can do this stuff better this way." and tries to force the issue. He's trying to do that with a whole nation.
Same as criticising Cameron over the NHS was difficult due to the care given to his son, Ivan and the young one's tragic death. It rings hollow and bitter the more and more you hear morons screeching about how the NHS is going to be gutted completely under Tory governments, but said NHS has existed under Tory Governments for far longer than it has Labour.
It's the laziest campaign imaginable from them, they scream about how the NHS is going to be gutted and privatised by the evil Tories, then declare victory when said government does nothing of the sort, back patting and self fella-ting themselves over how "their pressure" stopped the evil Tory Plans.
Hilariously, said Left and Liberal mob have been singing Germany's Healthcare system's praises and wondering why we can't do the same here. Quite not realising that the reason Germany's health system is so massive, well equipped with lots of capacity and redundancy is because it's only 28% state owned....

As far as I have been told second hand, the current planning is for a second big spike in infections/hospitalisation very shortly after lockdown is lifted.
I don’t pretend to know what the fuck is actually going to happen, but the planning on healthcare side is working to that assumption.

Nothing special. For every overzealous cop you have another oppressed citizen pulling some legitimate bullshit then crying foul. Most of the police force is busy checking on the 100k+ quarantined people every day. Haven't heard of anything as ridiculous as trying to "gotcha" people based on what they buy in shops; I can get anything I please as long as it's in stock.
Spanish and French police have something of a bad rep around here because of violence during political protests, Catalan secession and yellow vests respectively.

It always happens. During lockdown people don't interact. After lockdown they do. Hence more people get sick. This is why lockdown should be a sellective tool to prepare the healthcare system, not a one size fits all global economic suicide pact like it seems to have become.
Hope right now is lockdown will have allowed for enough immunity to build on the most affected area that, in essence, it can turn the first wave into a "vaccine" against the second. We'll see how it goes but for now I'm happy it's being lifted economically first while still keeping the rest of the lockdown, specially on congregagions, over here. That way worst case scenario it won't be as bad as it could be otherwise. I am also glad spaniards have been more cooperative than most. While I bitched here about how retardedly totalitarian the lockdown was at least and still think so just lifting all of it at once would be a massive amount of rape. Really right now all we can do is brace for inpact, do a damage report, and base our future actions on that.
Yeah the catalonian mossos have a bad rep compared with the rest of the country. And our riot cops have a bad rep compared with the rest of the force. But even then to be fair they got firebombed by the independentists. I'd say the moment people get the knifes and molotovs out is the moment a bit more violence than usual starts being understandable, and even then, as much as I bitch about it, at least they didn't actually used weapons classed as lethal. Though some of the weapons they used should be classed as such. Point is, there's reason to bitch about that specific group of cops, but even then there's sides of gray too.

Oh, you'll be pleased to know that Australia does think that's a solution.
They're talking about "6 months, at least, or until a vaccine" of this.
You have people begging the government to turn Australia into North Korea, lock the borders forever and keep us on social distancing into eternity.
We keep being told we're not on hard lockdown, but you can't go anywhere, do anything. You get fined.
Everything is shut but for "essential" things.
It's so strange, because when it was all about flattening the curve, it was all "If you sacrifice atm, we can do this and it will all be over soon".
Suddenly, as soon as that curve flattens completely, we record very low new cases, no real community transmission, all that curve talk is gone and we are getting threatened with harsher restrictions and "It's not over yet, it will get worse".
No "Good job, you flattened the curve!", just "You haven't seen what a real lock down is like". It's genuinely disturbing.
Whilst the rest of the world gets back to work and this virus fades, Australia will be living the North Korean dream.
I expect at this rate that international news and internet will be cut so we can't access the outside world.

Prime Minister now officially discharged from hospital and effectively on medical leave. Rule of thumb is every day in ICU = 1 week of recovery. So he's now out of it for probably another 7 weeks and is already on "very lighty" duties. Only decision he wants to be involved in for definite is when to lift the UK's lockdown.
On the flipside, he will be in convalescence at Chequers, which, ya know.....
Worse places to have a sick bed.

US District Judge Justin Walker of Kentucky overturned a ban on church services that was issued by Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. The judge described the ban as something out of the pages of a dystopian novel. "On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter. That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion." He said the city is prohibited from "enforcing; attempting to enforce; threatening to enforce; or otherwise requiring compliance with any prohibition on drive-in church services at On Fire." Walker added "The Mayor's decision is stunning. And it is, beyond all reason, unconstitutional."
(bold and italics mine)
And so it begins, the push against unconstitutional and repressive decrees. This really lifts my spirits. I'm not one to go gallivanting around and when I do I'm dressed in PPE (and so are most people now) but I believe these overreaching decrees are wrong and wholly unconstitutional.

Kentucky judge overrules a ban on drive-in Easter church services
US District Judge Justin Walker ruled in favor of On Fire Christian Church on Saturday and said Louisville cannot put a stop to its drive-in services.
Now the question will start to be: how much power at town/county/state levels do mayors/county managers/govermors have to shut down the courts? Because you cant get to higher courts in a lot of cases til you lose in lower courts. Could be irrelevant anyway, since a lot of local courts are already closed as part of local govt office closure.
I think we're also going to see a situation where Trump says to open back up nationally and the Blue States unite under Cuomo and refuse. They can try to paint him as an evil corporate moneylover putting lives at the expense of cash. They can postpone the election and accuse Trump to doing it to stay in power, til he has no choice but to allow mail in voting, where they will have an advantage. We could even see a proposal to suspend the Electoral College for this election because how can they meet in a lockdown?
This is happening everywhere, not just in Austrailia. As cases drop, restrictions increase. I think for the states who hven't been as harsh as Michigan, they are just waiting to get through Easter so they don't get the bad press like Kentucky has. Betting on a lot of "things are still bad, we tried to loosen up but you guys blew it, here's the new lockdowns till June" decrees starting Monday.

If anything non-essential is cut that's a hard lockdown. And Australia is semi-rural for the most part without any megacities. If anything it should never had gotten a full lockdown for real. Unless it's healthcare system is so woefully inadequate it could be toppled by the sniffles. Reading how full retard it's going gratuituously is honestly worrying.

It's because if you're a Twitter cunt, and most journalists are, the best way to signal virtue is to point at someone who is less virtuous than you and say "Look at this bad person".
They want the boot on the neck of the people they're a-logging on Twitter and are too stupid to realize that one day the mob may come for them too.
I think even a-logging Conde Nast isn't quite the most efficient form of a-logging. Even blaming Twitter. Twitter is just a platform for people to share text message sized bits of the text. Facebook is for sharing pictures of your expensive lunch. The poisonous culture that they produce is a problem of the users, not the platform. Though it is kind of encouraging that most ordinary people don't use Twitter, they seem to be abandoning Facebook and are aware that the environment they produce is pathological.
Every time I look at Twitter it makes me a little Mad At The Internet. But then it occurs to me that it's almost nothing to do with the real world. All the politicians that Twitter users like do poorly in elections and the ones they viscerally loathe do well. When journalists push Twitter narratives IRL it's clear that the population sees them as ridiculous figures. And then I stop being MATI and realize that social media insanity is something to laugh at, like Furries or Redditors. Or trannies.
Unlike Twitter, even the CCP gets some things right. One of them is the notion 'the health of senior leaders' should be kept out of the public sphere. People don't have the right to know exactly how sick the PM is, any more than they have the right to know how sick anyone is. In WWII Churchill had multiple, severe illnesses and it was kept out of the public domain until he recovered. The USSR was led by clinically dead individuals throughout the 70's and 80's. The Imperium of Man WH40K was led by a very sick individual, very successfully throughout a very grimdark period of only war.
