China Covid-19 numbers

[wraith]

Exact numbers are practically impossible to record and politically uncomfortable to publish.

I doubt any country is going to be very accurate even if they had 100% testing and total honesty.

The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is just a statistic.

I prefer to worry about the ones. Will what I do increase the risk for this one person, or that one person?

I don’t for one second believe the official Chinese figures.

I don’t believe the official u.k. ones either.

 

[zouzounaki]

I can be a bit of a bugger myself.

Wait a minute, you said you were against anal sex in another thread. Dirty sod.

The type of stats we have been talking about will never be available, as no one will compile them because next to no one has thought about this aspect of infection.

At some point in the future a statistician will be able to infer from stats that you have X% chance of catching coronavirus by kissing a Frenchman.
The statistician may not have actual numbers of cheek-kissing Europeans but that's what his/her expertise is for.
This isn't going to happen today unless you're writing for the Daily Fail with crayons.

In my experience all the south europeans do the cheek kissing. It’s no just the french.

I think it's the French who take it to three or four times though?

 

[zouzounaki]

In fact don’t russian gentlemen kiss each other on the lips?

 

[knome]

Poutin?

I suppose it depends on the level of excitement at seeing the kissee.
