Got this off facebook

My mate's nanna told me he's been doing overhead kicks from the halfway line and pinging them in off the crossbar every single time.

 

I love flying 1st class on easyJet, especially because they have frosted glass in the toilet windows. The only downside is, because I board first, I have to then tolerate all the ordinary people pushing past me to get to their wooden benches at the back.

 

Overhead kicks involve getting your kit mucky. These old ladies don't half know how to spin a yarn.

 

You seem to be quite clued up on this stuff, any insight into why Germany seem to have a much lower death rate? 12 in 8000+ cases

 

I've not got a clue, but there's a decent read here

Thanks, if I’ve read that right it’s suggesting we have followed a similar path to them than Italy.

 

To be honest I think it's too early to say yet, things seem to change every 60 minutes or so. Every morning when we wake up there's something new to take in.

 

I'm not 100% sure - for whatever reason Germany are not being particularly transparent with this stuff.

Especially regarding number of tests performed - Germany haven't released that data (that I can see) but rumours have it they're doing roughly 10,000-12,000 per day.
People are able to get a test easily in Germany, without having to be hospitalised, which leads to more mild cases being reported. (for reference, we've done 50,000 tests so far)

The other factor is that Germany are still relatively early in the pandemic. As morbid as this is to say, they haven't had chance for it to kill many off yet - although they only have 2 cases classified as 'critical' currently, so that's hopefully a good sign for them on that one.

That's also a good indication that the number of tests are affecting the numbers though - they have 2 out of 12,000 'critical' while we have 20 out of 2,000 as 'critical'.

I will point out a disclaimer though that I haven't been trusting the reported classification completely, thus far, as for example we're very likely to have more than 20 deaths tomorrow from this, meaning some classified as 'mild' will lead to a death. I would expect us to have 40-50 deaths tomorrow

Germans also appear to be better at following basic instructions than we are. They also used COVID-19 data from other countries to inform their early decisions. We used Viral Pneumonia trends originally to plot our predictions and make our decisions - That's why there was such a quick advancement in strategy - we switched to using COVID-19 data from this country and abroad that mapped the Imperial College predictions that I posted on here a few days ago (http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/th...rom-the-imperial-college.289615/#post-2442285)

PS: I'm no doctor or expert. I've just been trying to follow the statistics and data on this since I first heard about it. I'm a numbers guy. Without trying to sound too conceited, I know that I can read the data that my family members wouldn't be able to - so that's what I've been doing. I then share my observations on here, if I feel it's appropriate.

 

I always thought it was called Japanese Whispers when we went ......

 

Thank You
