Higher rate of smokers have a link ? Was discussed earlier in the thread but no factual research found yet

www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
there is another site I will post when I find again 

incubation periods up to 28days , study death charts , and how they are multiplying , also reported by scientists from each country deaths from covid 19 are under reported 
The data is not reported accurately and all countries have different criteria in recording figures so all a bit misleading .. the figures are probably a lot higher than being released hence all the precautions governments have taken as they are aware of the true nature of the pandemic 
everyone that keeps comparing numbers of death to flu ? Have we shut down countries in recent times for flu?
this is going to be a long term pandemic .
revisit in July 

We are going to have more than one peak without a vaccine. Population too large and NHS capacity too small. 

I agree and disagree somewhat. I feel like that clearly there is a LOT more going on in the world right now and we should be thinking about how to help. People are dying. It’s awful.

But, this is an art forum. And people have different ways of coping. Considering the majority of us are on lockdown going stir crazy, talking about things you love is constructive. As some have said in this same thread, it’s hard to watch on the news, it’s hard to read about and it scaring a lot of people. If you’re one of the scared people that need an escape, that’s what hobbies are about. They’re an escape into something you love.

I feel like this forum allows both the folks who want to talk about c-19 and for those want to talk about just art a place to do that. Constructively.

Art also expresses who we are, in all ways. And I’ve seen that happening often right now. I enjoy it. Saw that FAKE sold his nurse jam for a few thousand for charity. Mrs banksy doing the same selling her stuff to feed the hungry.

So I don’t disagree that bragging about ur stuff is in bad taste right now, but one persons brag is another persons sharing. Showing how they self express through their art. As art is self expression, both for the artist and collector.

I think everyone is on pins and needles right now and trying to find their own ways to cope. Some do it by discussing the times, others by discussing their hobbies.

Yeah i get it, to be one or have one. But still, i really dislike it, it is used as a bad word, because it’s not valued, simples.

It's a new virus and totally unknown and uncomparable to past conovirus so may come in waves once established in the population, everyone is stuck until a vaccine is made as it stands 

Most words have multiple applications, especially in English. And English has more words for a single thing than pretty much any other language due to Latin and Germanic influence. Most parts of the genitals of both men and women are used as insults is English - cunt, cock, dick, pussy, t**t, pisssflaps, bellend, helmet, ballsack, ball bag  scrotum, and then moving backward a little bit, arsehole, ring piece, and then combing the excreta - pissface,s**t face, jizzface etc. Some might argue that the ‘front bottom’ is treated less badly than the ‘gentleman’s area’ as clitoris is rarely used as a term of abuse (something, something, difficult to find, something) I was chatting to a friend who was Swedish about swear words. She said that, other than ‘fitta’ most swear words in Swedish were more Devil related, than genital. Don’t know about that but I though it was an interesting thought. And, again, all language is about context and nuance. Often these words are used affectionately. I call my dog ‘a massive bellend’. Doesn’t mean I don’t love him. Don’t get hung up on the ‘sound’. It’s the way it is applied that needs to be confronted...
