One country's "reformed prisoners" are less "reformed" than the others?

It looks possible. :-D

But there's got to be more to it than just that.

Yep

IMHO, all those that refuse to believe in science should be sent off to a remote island, without anything discovered or invented after 1700 and we can see how long they last. The nightly TV show filmed only by drones should make for interesting viewing.

Virus tracing app abandoned.
The main story for the Mail is the government's abandonment of its coronavirus tracing app. "How Many More Corona Fiascos?" asks the front page headline. It cites a string of U-turns over testing, protective equipment, schools and quarantine.

It's also the lead for the Times, which says the failure of the technology leaves the government's virus tracing strategy in "disarray" and hampers efforts to lift social distancing restrictions. Its leading article says Boris Johnson "needs to reassure the country that he really does have a plan to get out of this mess".

The project has become a "national embarrassment", says the Telegraph, which calls Health Secretary Matt Hancock "hapless and app-less".

The Guardian points out that three months and millions of pounds were spent on "technology that experts had repeatedly warned would not work".

"Another day, another U-turn", says Huffpost UK.

The cover of the Economist has an illustration of a tattered Union Flag shot through with virus-shaped holes. "Not Britain's finest hour", it declares about the country's response to the pandemic, arguing that the UK has the "wrong government for the covid crisis". "It has played a bad hand badly," is the magazine's verdict.

The Telegraph got it right. :-)

Which leads nicely into a satire on economics, written over a hundred years ago.

Suppose a party of people were wrecked on a desert island, what do you think would be the first thing they'd do? Obviously they would look around for a man with money to employ them in gathering fruit. If there were no capitalist among them, or if he didn't see his way to make a profit out of the business, they would all remain unemployed and starve to death, no matter how fertile the island might be.

Coronavirus was already in Italy by December, waste water study finds
Italian scientists say sewage water from two cities contained coronavirus traces in December, long before the country's first confirmed cases.
The National Institute of Health (ISS) said water from Milan and Turin showed genetic virus traces on 18 December.
It adds to evidence from other countries that the virus may have been circulating much earlier than thought.
Chinese officials confirmed the first cases at the end of December. Italy's first case was in mid-February.
In May French scientists said tests on samples showed a patient treated for suspected pneumonia near Paris on 27 December actually had the coronavirus.
Meanwhile in Spain a study found virus traces in waste water collected in mid-January in Barcelona, some 40 days before the first local case was discovered.


China has some explaining to do.

Yes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-06-virus-italy-december.html
But even in February no one knew how the virus was spreading and in what pace it did.
Unfortunately many Swedes where in Italy that month bringing the virus here and the result is many deaths.
Who's to blame?
In Lombardy, Italy where there was a lot of corona cases, there is a large community of Chinese people travelling back an forth to China.

There are three kinds of science, Science, damn Science, and Statistics. Seems like many politicians are going for Statistics, especially in these Corona days:)

The world recorded a massive 181,000+ new cases over the last 24hrs and over 5,000 deaths. :-O

The U.S. put a in over 33,500 of those taking it to almost 2.3 million cases and past 121,000 deaths, but they couldn't come close to Brazil's numbers coming in at over 55,200 new cases (I wonder if this is a correction making up for earlier lower than expected reported numbers) taking them past 1 million and past 49,000 deaths.

India also recorded their highest daily number of new cases with over 14,700 and will soon be the 4th country to pass 400,000 while Iran became the 10th country to pass 200,000 cases.

But sadly the rates of daily new cases are definately rising and the reopening of some countries/states far too early as well as the protests that have been going on are likely fueling this trend. :-(

The problem is it isn't just Tulsa. They are coming from all 50. Now if the other 49 had stiff backs the attendees would be stopped at the border and told to return to Tulsa and bring 3 weeks of daily negative test results to enter.

I wonder how this bit of idiocy will turn out.

Trump says he ordered slowdown in coronavirus testing in speech to rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Trump described testing as a "double-edged sword", saying: "When you do testing to that extent you're going to find more people."

"You're going to find more cases, so I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down please.'

"They test and they test and we got tests — people don't know what's going on. We got tests, 'We got another one over here'."

The campaign team for Mr Trump's presidential rival, Joe Biden, said the President was putting politics ahead of the health and safety of Americans.

"In an outrageous moment that will be remembered long after tonight's debacle of a rally, President Trump just admitted that he's putting politics ahead of the safety and economic wellbeing of the American people — even as we just recorded the highest number of new COVID-19 cases in almost two months and 20 million workers remain out of work," Mr Biden's campaign said in a statement.

Mr Biden wrote in a tweet: "Speed up the testing".
I bet that that will make plenty over there feel much more secure.

It saddens me to see that while other countries are either maintain or increasing their testing regimes the US, or more specifically the US President, is reducing its testing. I'm not sure of the pretext for such a move, but maybe it is based on the assumption that if you don't test you don't find and so it will go away. Sadly I doubt that Corvid-19 reads that page of the book :-(
