Fabulous job Slovenia ! Wish I was there right now. What a Beautiful country and people.
Slovenia quickly shut their border with Northern Italy. Travel bans work. Taiwan quickly shut their border to the Chinese — they have had 7 deaths. In the future, we can’t allow hysteria over “xenophobia” to block travel bans. We can’t trust the Chinese — the next time they have a respiratory virus emerge in one of their cities, we ban all Chinese nationals ASAP. No exceptions, not even allowing Chinese people with permanent residency back to the EU or U.S. — their government can’t be trusted, sadly.
That’s honestly so great. Well done! Love from Italy.
Wow that’s impressive! Well done Slovenia for handling it better than most!
Great job guys! Congrats!
828 tests? Those are rookie numbers.
Slovenia has a population of 2 million not 330 million. 828 is actually not a bad number especially with a positive rate of 0%
828 doesn’t seem like that many tests… I know Slovenia is a smaller country but here in Los Angeles alone we do a ton more.
Test positivity rate gives you a better understanding of whether an adequate amount of tests are done, not absolute numbers.
Could mean that fewer people are eligible for testing. Decreasing cases means fewer suspects and this can mean fewer tests.
At the moment the recommendation is to go and get tested if you have any symptoms or suspect that you’ve been in contact someone who has it. I know people who’ve gotten a referral to be tested just because of fatigue without any respiratory symptoms. But with the flu season over, there just aren’t that many people with any kind of respiratory problems that would warrant getting tested.
Slovenia’s numbers are dropping so close to zero, even if there’s a minor rebound, it will be close to zero again fairly soon.
I’d love to live in Slovenia… But the language is so different.
Slovenian people know English hahaha
The Eastern European countries have shown throughout this crisis they know their shit, and what’s good for their people. Kudos to them
Exactly. They automatically required masks right away & the population just cooperated.
They timed their restrictions on movement pretty well too. I have a friend from uni from Bulgaria, when he went back he had to do the 2 weeks quarantine and was in a semi lockdown for a while. Now he’s able to go out to bars with his friends, there’s not really too many restrictions (because they have it under control). Yet in the time he’s left my country (the UK) its just been an absolute shit show over here. We’re only just now starting to have restrictions relaxed, which is something a lot of people would argue is a little preemptive considering the relatively high number of daily deaths
USA here, specifically Wisconsin which went from lockdown to 100% wide open in a matter of hours due to a court decision overruling the stay-at-home order. Within an hour of the court ruling, bars here were packed. Everyone instantly started behaving as if the pandemic is over. Last weekend a resident tested positive at my grandma’s assisted living facility & in the SAME letter they sent to families informing them of this, they also announced they would start lifting restrictions. It was literally like “we regret to inform you that a resident has tested positive. Also you can now schedule hair appointments at the salon.” It’s crazy.
I look at New Zealand, South Korea, & Eastern Europe with severe pandemic-handling envy.
