Re: WW3 Europe front. UPDATE page 532 -February 2024, the decisive month
Thanks for the Update, have been following your posts and they have been spot on.
I also expect the government bodies to be hesitant to lock down or close schools. I northern Germany schools have been open for some weeks, but we have started from a very low baseline of infections. This will change. Schools in southern Germany are opening up this week, but with many more infections in the background.

When you say crisis in November, can you specifiy? Do you personally expect a Mad-Max-like situation? What are you doing/recommend to prepare?
Thanks!

I am an extremely patient man. Things are unfolding (for now) as I was expecting them to unfold.


The crisis will be the outcome of what will be decided in October : second round of lock-downs or not. Highly likely no second lock-down in October, unless the pandemic is worse then I expect it to be.


Most people don't understand the economic side of a medical crisis. It can well surpass, in expenses, the losses from a lock-down, and that is not even counting the humanitarian crisis from a "constipated" or overwhelmed healthcare system.

People that go to hospital, insurance or not, have the same expenses. Someone (meaning us, the people) is paying for those expenses : medication, energy, cleaning, disinfection, healthcare staff wages, etc.

If we will have too many patients, those expenses will skyrocket, and to be able to support those expenses, taxes will have to be risen, or other expenses to be moved from other sectors, to healthcare. And this means job losses, because nobody will cut their profits or wages.

In a 3 times higher 2nd wave conditions, such expenses can reach 10% of the GDP of a country. If it's a bigger 2nd wave...well, lock-downs become cheaper.



The crisis will be both medical and economical, doesn't matter if second lock-down comes or not, and the job losses will be similar in any scenario.


A mad-max scenario is on the cards, and atm is pretty mush on top 3 of the outcomes of the second wave.

By mid-October, it will be clear if a mad-max scenario is still possible.

This is completely true and believable from our perspective.
(And you, DR, know how much I believe in your models and updates).
But not from government's point of view...

I try to explain my opinion:
Media and politics (in my country, Italy) now are spreading a different message: "You (a common citizen) must learn how to live with this virus".

This means, in other words, that the citizens must take in account all the risks about living a "normal" lifestyle...
You (must) go to work?
You (must) go to the supermarket?
You (must) get on public transport?

You (a simple, common citizen) take the risk...

"economic circle" can't be interrupted anymore.

Basically, you have no choice. You must act normally while taking in account the risk of being infected.

That's why I am pretty sure that most of EU countries will rule out a new lockdown...
Governments will try to let pandemic go on as long as they can and play "whack-a-mole" with the new clusters.

Some businessmen also started to say that if an employee is tested positive but is "asymptomatic" or "pre-symptomatic", still have to work on remote because a positive test isn't enough to stop someone from doing his job.

France has lowered quarantine period from 14 days to 7 days

After 7 days the virus will not be infectious anymore
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79354511


Lockdown: ruled out
Quarantine time: reduced to 7 days
Schools: still opened

Is France going to look after a complete disaster?

I may sound sarcastic but... I really don't understand some politics choices...

There is no evidence that people affected by Covid-19 are not infectious after 7 days...

Even some italian virologists started to call "asymptomatic" as "pre-symptomatic" because no one still knows exactly how this virus behave in people with no visible symptoms and how it replicates in younger and "stronger" hosts.
 Quoting: Leonero

Czech recorded 1161 infection cases yesterday (10.5 million people here). New record. The graph was remade again (fourth time) to incorporate this.

So far at what I call the halfway point, I’ve checked today and the reading is yet again higher than I’ve seen before. So in theory, in the morning when I check for the final count of the day. It should be higher than yesterday’s record. If it isn’t, it won’t be far from it.

The rate seems to be running away now. Overnight after yesterday’s results, we now have to wear a mask in all indoor areas as far as I understand per the Mrs.

It could be a canary in the coal mine here. Keep your eyes peeled. Can’t think where this will go in a month from now. We have entered new territory entirely!

Second wave of coronavirus may arrive in spring, not winter, one scientist says

A Texas scientist predicts a second wave of coronavirus will occur in the spring and not the winter months.

Professor Ben Neuman, chairman of biological sciences at Texas A&M University-Texarkana said coronaviruses commonly “peak” in the spring months, according to a Yahoo report.

[snip]

Neuman, also a visiting associate professor at the University of Reading, said experts are predicting the second wave for the winter months based on the flu virus which peaks in the winter. But Neuman said most viruses are not as seasonal as the influenza virus, according to the report.


Comment: I don't think seasonality as much to do with it, as much as reopening schools and businesses.

Guys, I need your help with information from your countries regarding hiring personal for emergency services.

Romania is hiring, temporarily, without exam, for the duration of the pandemic (this is the official announcement), roughly 500 drivers and 500 other personal for emergency services.

I don't know how emergency services in other countries are structured, but the ISU drivers in Romania are used (among other things) for transporting patients (supplementing ambulance services), including Covid-19 ones.

This never happened before in Romania, hiring without exam and w/o any special skill related to emergency services and in all counties in same time.


Another thing is that this started on Monday, and the deadline to apply for the jobs is September 13th, which means they need those jobs filled asap, and before October.


I like to know if something similar is happening in your countries, because there is no way that only Romania is basically doubling their emergency services drivers all of a sudden.


Thanks.

In Chile something similar happened months ago when numbers were still soaring before the lock down that took three months to get to more manageable numbers. Here the strategy was to repurpose hundreds of school bus drivers and their vans for this. It was a way to deal with both their unemployment and the hugely increased need for sick people transport. AFAIK this is still ongoing.

This is just semantics.

A wave is nothing but a rise in cases, no matter when this is happening, seasonally or not.

We are in the second wave already.


We had a rise in cases in March, a drop between may and July, and now a rise again that started in August.


If it looks like wave, and acts like a wave...it's a wave.


Everything else is semantics.

Nope, that isn't the case. It is a very sought job, with wages that are 2 to 3 times median wage in Romania.


The timing (which is this week), the reason (temporary jobs for pandemic duration), the number of jobs, especially for drivers (500) and the fact that all counties are hiring is what is way out of the ordinary.


Italy most likely filled their positions in March, and kept the people, so, no reasons to hire more.

DR.

We still have all the large Nightingale hospitals waiting to be used. A lot of staff for these has been arranged from the airline companies who are not working.

The government was paying for additional ambulances crewed with NHS Paramedics and Fire staff during the first wave. These have just been taken off-line but could easily be reinstated.

Private companies are being heavily used at the moment - many more than usual.

Ambulance trusts have set up Coronavirus Coordination Centres (CCCs) and will be in place till March 2021.

The NHS has tracked down loads of newly retired staff and they can easily be instated.

But it's not about France and Spain only. There are another 10 countries in Europe with spikes this week, 3 of them with massive spikes.


The pandemic will grow in Europe, as I said since June. It will start in in the beginning of August, it will slowly build until end of August, it will grow significantly in the first half of September (all this already happened) and it will explode all over Europe in October.


By mid-October, it will be decision time : lock-down or not.

Yes, it is still in the cards, and if certain things will take place by the end of October, a mad-max scenario will start by the end of this year.


Those things are related to the evolution of the pandemic, a second hard lock-down and a destabilization of the U.S.

I will go into detail about this on October 11th.


Atm, the situation is evolving as I am expecting it, but it must continue for another month, before I can be sure on the pandemic and / or lock-down half of the equation.

The other side is a destabilization of the U.S., but this is not something that can be predicted. It might happen, or not, but if it will, it will be fast, in a matter of days.


And there is another factor, which atm is unknown : food shortages.


Many things have to converge, for a mad-max scenario to happen.


Things will be much clearer around mid-October, for better or for worse.
