TOP TOURIST COUNTRIES

1. France
2. Spain
3. United States
4. China
5. Italy

All of which have been hit hard.

With Spring Break in full swing, there's still one popular tourist country that "looks safe" who's welcoming travelers with open arms. The restless young party-goers, virtually immune to COVID-19, are eager to escape from their boring, virus-inflicted ghost towns. And the country is of course happy to line its pockets with their cash while many of its competitors are temporarily out of the game.

I think we can all guess what's going to happen next.

6. Mexico

Your source says ICU admission rate for all ages for coronavirus was between 4.9% and 11.5%. If a case is admitted to the ICU, it is almost by definition serious. In addition, it says between 20.7% and 31.4% are hospitalized and this too is for all ages, which indicates cases that most certainly aren't mild. Total case fatality rate is between 1.8% and 3.4%.

I also occasionally enjoy picking my nose and flicking the booger into the bin.

I would not want either cyberdad or elkonabridge as a father and quite honestly I sometimes wonder what their kids have to put up with from them.

Can we get off the personal crap now?

I believe Trump has stopped all international flights in and out of America, as is the case in Australia.
I'm surprised the border into Mexico is still open.

Reports are looking good for various chloroquine cocktails as treatment.

I'm going to try a bottle of quinine water with a splash of clorox — should be close enough.

I suppose it would help some if I just post my opinions, and not respond to those who become unglued over one layperson's personal opinion.

You started it with.
You only have yourself to blame. <chuckle>

The problem, here in Australia, with people coming into small communities and looting the products on the supermarket shelves, is becoming a major problem for the locals.
I can't believe the authorities aren't acting, but I think it will be coming to a head soon.

I have never seen anything like it here in Australia before.
The NTs have gone feral, even more so than usual.

BTW, Australian borders here in Oz will be closing in around 2 hours from now.
Kraftie, get a wriggle on if you want to join me for a coffee.
Apple pie hot is out of the oven and ready, also. :mrgreen:

News Flash!
Rowan Dean, and Australian political commentator, is getting stuck into China for the coronavirus mess.

<thinks>
Where is my popcorn?

This picture nicely illustrates why there is a world wide shortage of face masks. Dentists and other health professionals need them too.

Then why didn't they stock up? Why didn't their governments stock up?

Why didn't their governments take over the production and rationing of masks, like Taiwan has done?

Let me guess ... they thought this was a Chinese-only problem. Right? Oops, big mistake. BIG OOPS. The West could have prepared itself 3 months ago. It did not. The West was full of people like Pepe and Ezra, making mockeries all day long.

Instead of teaching people how to make their own masks, the West put out the lie that masks don't help. Oops. BIG OOPS. All Caucasian countries are now out of control. All East Asian countries are in control. Isn't that humiliating? Isn't it humiliating that the top-30 list of active cases will soon be occupied by only Caucasian-dominant countries? You know how many people in Europe and US have made fun of Asians wearing masks? You know how many Asians have been mistreated in the West because of wearing masks?

That fact is: the West did not even want masks. And now it cries for masks, and is dependent on donations from Asians. Isn't that humiliating? Don't worry, the Chinese people I know in the US are scrambling to donate masks to hospitals. Taiwan is donating 100,000 masks per week to the US. The Chinese tycoon Jack Ma alone is donating 1 million masks to the US.

WHAT LESSON HAVE YOU LEARNED?

I have been anticipating looting.

Especially after untold millions lose their jobs.

I think this thing could possibly end up destroying civilization in the process of trying to save it.

The greatest harm can result from the best intentions - that is that kind of **** up I think really will bring about the end of the world as we know it.

I think Syd's post is suggesting the American kids might be bringing the virus back from Mexico, which
"Looks safe".

Speaking of mockery, Harvard officials report that Patient Zero has been identified!
