- October 23 What Africa taught us about coronavirus, and other lessons the world has learned
Yes my parents live there (both over 70 with health probs), and their GP got in touch with them last week and told them to shield in a much stricter way than they were told to in March, and they said now there are cases in the small town they live in, which there hasn't been before.Bloody hell just reading about what’s going on in Czech Republic, which was looking so good back in the spring.
Today police shooting water canon at anti lockdown protestors in the middle of Prague and look at this. Worst rate in Europe right now by far. Terrifying.

€88 tests to be offered to travellers flying from Heathrow to Italy (and Hong Kong)...
...though if you skip that you can get a rapid test on arrival in Italy for €30.Rapid one-hour Covid tests begin at Heathrow airport
Coronavirus tests that cost £80 offered to travellers to Hong Kongwww.theguardian.com
Hong Kong absolutely has a two week Q and is closed to non-residents though.
The tests are only available for flights to jurisdictions where the LHR test is approved by the destination health authorities.I wonder why they chose the HK flight then?
For months, scientists and global health experts warned that European governments must build up coronavirus testing and tracing capacity, put in place strict quarantine and isolation measures, ready hospitals for Covid-19 patients, protect the elderly and vulnerable, and, especially, get people to wear masks. Taking these steps, said Anthony Costello, a professor of global health at University College London, avoids “the bluntest weapon to control the epidemic”: the lockdown.
Yet, with few exceptions, leaders did not adequately prepare. Instead, there was complacency and denial. When social distancing measures slowed coronavirus spread over the summer, politicians lifted restrictions quickly in an effort to restart economies. They then failed to heed the warnings of scientists and doctors again — that small upticks in infections would eventually culminate in an exponential growth in cases, followed by increases in hospitalizations and deaths. (A grim, similar pattern developed in the US.)
An intensive care specialist in Belgium's worst-hit COVID-19 region has told Sky News he fears the moment when the hospital is full and he has to choose who will live and who will die.
Dr Laurent Jadot says the situation has become so bad that many people are now calling it "the new Lombardy", in reference to the part of Italy which suffered the most during the first wave of the pandemic crisis.
He works at CHC Montlegia, which has one of the largest intensive care units in the city of Liege at the heart of the southern region of Wallonia - where hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of coronavirus patients.
