Global Corona Death predictions

Re: Global Corona Death predictions
One would hope the caregivers or healthcare workers would treat their roles with the level of care commensurate with the situation.
I feel there's a sensible middle ground that reduces unnecessary deaths but doesn't continue to send the global economy into the oblivion.
I mean, the UK 14 day quarantine on arrival and changing by the day is just mental.

Re: Global Corona Death predictions
When visiting the UK you fill out a form online and the algorithm tells you what to do in regard to quarantine. As it turns out I was a key worker confirmed negative thus exempt. Obviously the computer was programmed by civil servant (someone with no appreciation of the real world)
I'm desperate to get back to Blighty but 14 days locked up before I can do anything is just utterly mental.
Yeah, very true Sir.

We're on a precipice aren't we.
The UK government seem to just be banking on a vaccine coming soon. Talk of 6 months of lockdowns in parts is just mental. There'll be nothing left to lockdown, the town centres will be boarded up and shut.

We've got a few people coming back from KSA who were stuck or on business visas.
So far, they've all turned up here with negative tests, gone on the lash (don't blame them) and subsequently tested positive.
The rumours fly around that he's got it, she's got it, who was close, were you in on Monday, did you lick their hands?
Work keep it private so the office is a ghost town this week but numbers of cases are increasing in our business from barely any to at least a couple a week confirmed in each division.
Guess we're just edging towards everyone having it and hoping for the best.

This changes whether Mother will come and see me.
Given the airport and the airline and the government are one and the same, this must be a conscious decision?

My bad, had a look and as of 3rd October, they issued a list of 54 countries (including US), arrivals from which require testing on arrival at DXB with mandated self-isolation until you get a result. I imagine the mandated self-isolation is as well enforced as it was in the UK.

Is what it is, testing on arrival and a little isolation is far more tolerable than 14 days in a hotel room or 14 days self-isolating.

Re: Global Corona Death predictions
You seem to now be reporting number patterns lock-step with most of Western Europe, and are well into the second wave of infections.
