  • Not a good news. An advise : hear one time Vltava and hope some better days.

  • Anthony Sayer says:

    Once again, same old story. Lockdown imposed because of the progressive neglect of the health service, not because people are dropping like flies in the street. No wonder they look aggrieved in the photo.

  • Doc Martin says:

    Yes the ECDC data for CZ republic looks bad.

    Some recent published research, suggests Sars-cov-2 can survive on human skin up to 9 hours, it is inactivated by sanitiser containing at least 60% alcohol. Surface contact infection rates are unknown and not recorded by those cov-19 Track n Trace apps.

    Also some information explaining Herd immunity.
