Reminds me of Victory Towers in Orwell's 1984. How dismal. Urban planning at its worse. We had the Bijlmer estate in south west Amsterdam. It generated so many problems.

It has been knocked down and replaced by more suitable housing.

It's entirely your fault Jim. No more gin for you until you've sorted it out!

No, it isn't. Comrade Sir Rupert Hamer and comrade Sir Bob Menzies are to blame for most of it.

It's nothing like the flu, and we may still have much the same situation in a year

It's looking bad. I heard Trump is trying to censor the worst predictions...

In areas where it's a daily increase of 0,5-1% a day, it will still be around a year from now. You, for example, will not be able to admit people from the UK. If you do, the virus will be around for a year.

Finland or areas of Canada or NZ that have lower populations will get to the less than 0,1% increase a day and stay there. You don't go through Finland to get anywhere.
