A LEVEL VIRUS FIELD

yo!.. only game in town... innit!

today here in palookaville..

all the go is..

germany winnin the games..

it ain't even half time..

some folks reckon..

we still inna first quarter..

still an all..

maybe we should check out the.

german playbook..

ta see what we can learn..

 

What Germany got right in the fight against coronavirus

While it remains to be seen whether the German authorities have got it right..

or acted too soon in easing the pressure..

it is clear the country has done better than mos..

of its European neighbours in tackling the virus so far.

Germany has one of the lowest case fatality rates in the world..

with 4,869 deaths for 147,593 detected infections..

according to Johns Hopkins University in the US..

That’s a case fatality rate of just over 3 per cent..

compared to around 13 per cent in the UK, France and Italy.


What's more, German scientists..

announced last week they had succeeded..

in bringing the reproduction factor..

the number of people each person with the virus passes the infection to..

under 1 for the first time.

Whatever happens next..

right now Germany is as close to a coronavirus success story as Europe has..

The story of that success comes down to three things..

preparedness..

a decentralised system that lets doctors make the calls..

and a generous slice of luck.

COPY THAT

 

fair play to them..

they done good..

y'all should read the whole article..

an then git yo own teams ta..

adopt as much of this..

as possible.

 

PLAY NICELY NOW

 

 some folks sayin.. 

no fair..

they sayin the games is rigged..

some teams..

havin ta play..

a tougher game..

that the virus..

they have to play with..

is a tougher son of a bitch..

an that it..

don't play fair.

Coronavirus’s ability to mutate has been vastly underestimated, and mutations affect deadliness of strains, Chinese study finds

• The most aggressive strains of Sars-CoV-2 could generate..
•  270 times as much viral load as the least potent type
•  
• New York may have a deadlier strain imported from Europe..
• compared to less deadly viruses elsewhere in the United States

 so..

maybe not a level playin field..

maybe all virus be equal..

but..

some be more equal than others..

 

LET THE BOFFINS BE THE REFEREES

 

track down all mutations..

an ban em from a games..

or give a weighting..

or a handicap..

or whatevva..

 

if they a deadlier strain..

identify and disqualify..

let the people know..

 

lets not fix..

 

THIS WORLD SERIES

 

let's have a fair fight..

and a..

true winner..
