The toughest thing about "the virus" is the overblown panic about "the virus".
I damn sure ain't sayin' "Don't wash your hands" more, but crippling the world economy over it is not wise.
Wash hands for approx 20 seconds, do not touch eyes or face because that is how you absorb this virus into your body. The situation with face masks is that a face mask NOT stop you getting COVID-19 a face mask ONLY stops the infected infecting others. Peoples should limit personal contact with relatives aged 65 years and older especially relatives in their 70s and 80s, stay in contact with them via the phone do not visit them in person.
Today we have ordered a ban on gatherings of more than 5 peoples, this is our most extreme ban on gatherings this far, we are putting the police on the streets also this for them to patrol and enforce this ban. The situation in this nation now to be that peoples ONLY should have contact with those they live in same building as and to ONLY go out if they need to get food and/or medicines. We now in the Government have immense power under this State of Emergency, in the Ministry of Interior we have been awarded unlimited powers to enforce measures, we should take this opportunity to also to fast-track the remove from society peoples and groups that we consider a threat to society.
All I can comment is what we are doing and have been doing, this as advice to what other nations should do and some have been doing. You test the population at approx 1,000-2,000 a day or if a larger nation this to be 20,000-30,000 a day, you find where the cases of COVID-19 are you then IMMEDIATELY quarantine them and also you do contact tracing and get them ASAP completely OUT of their community. This reduces the instances of family clusters, this is what we have been doing, we got all of this from having Conference Call discussions with South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan because we noticed they were having some success in controling the situation and so we adopted their measures.
We have now banned ALL flights from the UK, they are not dealing with COVID-19 in any appropriate way we think, their approach is a non-approach and it is WRONG. They are not doing extensive testing and they will come to regret this. They are we think in approx 2-4 weeks going to have an explosion of COVID-19 this based on their non-approach and they could at this moment already have approx 10,000 peoples with COVID-19 but showing minimal symptoms if and when they get this explosion they will not cope in their hospitals as they have approx 2.5 beds per 1,000 per peoples in the population. We have attempted to WARN them about the expected explosion and of course typical stupid British know IT ALL and will NOT listen to advice.
You can’t fight a virus if you don’t know where it is, you find it by extensive testing. You test, find then isolate and then treat EVERY case to break the link of COVID-19 transmission and we think this limits the expansion.
