That idea was obsolete with allowing Karneval to happen: in Köln alone some 12k people had been busy for 5 hours with throwing 300 tons of sweets at a million plus visitors, many of the latter being drunk beyond inhibition and busy licking the faces of whatever random strangers they came by... now (as of today around eleven) 1636 known infections in Nordrhein-Westfalen (where Köln is located).

Forget containment, that ship has sailed. You can still try to pickle yourself with disinfectants, but that's about it.

The world has gotten too cynical, but then I've gotten too old, so... If a person can't have a little humor, we'd die from the bleakness of it all.

Well now I am angry, amazon tracking says that one parcel that I ordered from Germany has arrived to Lithuania yesterday. Hopefully they will still let truck drivers through!

Here's the problem with globalization... and it's not going to get any better over the next few decades as more of these diseases start showing up.

Finnish government is the worst.
The press conference about coronavirus was scheduled for 16.00, then it was delayed to 16.15, now it's 16.34 and they just said that they do not know whether it begins in 1 minute or in 50 minutes!
Do nothing government, sad!

Also they stopped testing people for coronavirus in Finland, now ONLY doctors/nurses are tested and those who are seriously ill. Estimates are that there are at least 30 times more cases than what are reported, but of course, there is really no way of knowing. I guess there is no point in testing mild cases, but now we never know how easily it spreads or anything.

I'm sure statistics are out there, but how many deaths per year from mining and burning fossil fuels for energy.... :thinking:
For fear of derailing....
We really can't go to nuclear. As great as it sounds, and I'm a fan, fission energy just isn't safe in the long term. Too much waste that has to be managed properly. Coal is bad now and in the foreseeable future. Nuclear is bad for the next thousands of years. Maybe if we can get fusion done efficiently....


Allow me to throw a little something into this tangent.

The reason nobody will go nuclear is because of finances. With fusion just around the corner any nation investing heavily in nuclear fission plants will not be able to afford fusion plants in the future. Fingers crossed the scientists are not lying to us to garner funding.

As for coronavirus I am not in at at risk group and nor is anybody I care for. As far as I'm concerned... the boomers need to go. Completely convinced that the world will be better off without them parasitising the youth. The generations who are dying do not belong in the future. There is no future for them and all they can do is destroy our future. I'm not going to go out and start coughing on boomers but I'm not particularly concerned about the spread of this virus.

Even as a tourist currently travelling overseas in a foreign country, with no Australian embassy, which has closed all borders, resturaunts, public transport and landmarks...
Laying flat.

With fusion just around the corner

It has been around the corner for many, many years, there are still a lot of problems to solve. Who knows if they will ever be solved so that fusion would be financially sustainable?

Well ... may something keep from that your kids and kidskids and their friends will share the same mind ... stubborn stupidity is not a thing of age or generations ...
