Covid-XIX Part VI - 90 cases ROI (1 death) 29 in NI (as of 13 March) *Read OP*

The UK is upping the number of tests per day from 1,500 to 10,000.

That suggests there could soon be a pretty significant jump in the number of confirmed cases there.

i think people are right to be alarmed and the only way this can be contained now is an aggresive lockdown like what the chinese done...the real number of cases is prob in the thousands here and the problem is going to be the hospitals and how they cope when it does multiply...how we deal with it in the coming days is going to affect the overall death rate...the more overwhelmed the hospitals are the higher the death rate will be...italy is struggling because they didnt put their lockdown in early enough...i know theres a tendacy to overblow things sometimes but this is the real deal and we should be fighting it aggresivly so that people with respitary problems,diabetes ect are not left to die in overcrowded hospitals

You could end up in the nightmare scenario of being in lockdown for four weeks and case numbers continuing to grow.

If it is a proper lockdown, this isn’t a possible scenario.

What happening there??

Nothing, you'll get a dick pic or something in response.

Surely the UK is too late. Honestly, Italy seemed to be stopping mass gatherings ages ago. There is no way someone in England hasn’t has the virus since around February.

Like did Italy hold anything like Cheltenham since the virus began to spread at the rate is has. I wouldn’t think so.

Tests led by U.S. government scientists show that the new coronavirus can live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for up to three days

The principal form of transmission is supposed to be from person to person via airborne droplets.

So let's be quite clear on this, you should wash your hands down to the bone but you shouldn't wear a mask, as they don't work - except really they do but we want the masks and you can just go die a in corner you gullible fool.

A long, informative and worrying read. "Washington State is the USAs Wuhan" jumped out at me. Bottom line. We need to Socially Isolate NOW.

excellent analysis .... someone please point this to our national advisors

Multiple times in every thread there has been a rumor of a lockdown/hazmat suits/mass infection in various Clayton Hotels, it’s quite funny at this stage.

Seems like a safe place to stay now.
