John you keep posting that video which is from February.

Since then America's messaging has changed, including trumps.

Please at least find something up to date or new.

Is it dangerous? Yes. You can die. But you can also die of hunger. Before end of lock down many of you may be bankrupt. If this lock down extends many punters will be going out and try to make money.

Lady.. Do what you must and stay safe.

Wear masks, wash hands, condomize,I don't know. Same as if the punter or WG has HIV or std, what's the difference its ALL still a risk.

Sorry my comment was not about that the person shouldn't do it.

As I can't imagine no one would if they had another choice.

I was more replying to the no real risk by john_adams.

I imagine if any of use were broke and needed money to feed ourselves or family we would do the same.

Skyler Blue have you checked with ystervark if there are any funds left to help?

Only way to win is everyone helps.

Do not assume that every SP who still continues to see clients during this lockdown is on the verge of starvation and certain death. We all have to bite the bullet for 21 days so that this lockdown can come to an end and we can get back to sanity, or try to at least.

There are others out there who gets by with way less than what the average SP earns but they are in lockdown along with the rest of us. Let's think with our big heads.

That graph on the bottom right is scary.

Just a disclaimer I support lock down 100% and follow the rules 100%.

That being said...

People who think at the end of lock down we can leave our houses and punt away like the old days are badly mistaken.

In my opinion the risk will be no different if not higher. Anyone having a go at an individual now on the basis of them endangering other should do the same after lock down. The problem will not magically disappear in two weeks time.

Just a view, great read while in lockdown

Interesting read.

But it has a couple flaw.

Basically he's say if we pretend this virus works like these other viruses so we can use their better numbers instead of the ones we've measured.

Oh and at the same time let's use the numbers assuming that hospitals don't crash.

May as well pretend it's the common cold and we don't have to do anything.

Most amusing is when he said that Italy isn't so bad but fails to mention that that it crashed the health system.

The 3.4% to 1.4% assume that the health system is working.

Otherwise it gets quite a bit bigger.

Is the lockdown the best choice long term. I have no idea.

Though when looking at the numbers to make the decision. Use the numbers we actually have not the ones you want.
