Finished my first "day?" of homeschool..

From an LC students perspective my first thought is "This just ain't gonna work"

But sure, it's only day 1, I should hopefully get into a routine....

and now I can sleep longer too

School is a massive distraction in 6th year. Use the time wisely. Study. Study like your life depended on it. Forget the virus, stay off this website and square up to the challenge.

Self isolate with the books.

Jesus the UK plan is bananas.

WTF like?

They plan 60% to get it and then its grand.

The Tories have lost their little minds. They are effectively saying that they will sacrifice the lives of a fair portion of their population to keep the economy on track. sick stuff.

Smackdown on BT Sports 1 , no one in audience, so funny as they wrestle with no one there.

In a months time our health professionals will have guidelines on prioritising care to people in 30s vs people in 40s. This god****e will have helped spread it and also potentially take up a ventilator that could have saved a vulnerable person.

That’s fairly sensationalist now!

Business first Tories, they know that strategy will be more damaging to society overall but don't care since it'll keep the economic wheels spinning.

Just back from the pub.

If anything a bit busier than a regular Friday night crowd.

How's the thread going? - Is there still a lot of pub-envy or has it calmed down a bit?

Good man, home alone for a read of boards.

Serious envy here.

2.5% of all deaths in the European Union today were from coronavirus

facehugger99 · 14-03-2020 01:14AM

I'd say we'll look back in 12 months and wish we'd followed the UK approach.

We've never produced the same caliber of politician as a country. We're stuck with lads that follow the social media winds. Afraid to make the tough but right decisions.

I just spent the week travelling on the Tube. It was fairly packed at times.
Not sure if you can realistically shut it down.

What about Italy and China?

Assuming a relatively benign mortality rate of 1%, that's 390,000 deaths. Go Boris.

Very difficult to legislate for imbeciles

It's impossible.

I was talking to a family member today who is living up the north. He said he isn't going to take the chance of coming home until this settles down.

Contrast that to the likes of the other clown, who seems to get off flaunting his own disregard for himself and everyone else.

Bottom line is do what you have to do to make sure your loved ones are protected from this because there's plenty of people out there wired to a different planet.

Touching your eyes,nose ,mouth then touching something somebody else uses, for example
It's much harder to spread when asymptomatic but definitely still does occur

Saw an expert yesterday state that just breathing was enough due to water droplets in your breath and I'd tend to believe that. They won't say that because of the herd mentality and panic that could ensue. It also lives on surfaces from hours to days dependent on humidity and other factors so grabbing a door handle or touching a countertop is enough to transmit it if an infected person touched it previously.

Not sure if this is related but Ive been following the John Hopkins online coronavirus map for the past couple of days. It tracks each countries confirmed cases, deaths and recoveries. Give or take a few hours to a day to update and its very accurate.
Every country was listed including the UK until today.
The UK isnt listed at all anymore and theres no longer an option to click on the country for data. Theres not even a red circle on it anymore to show that it has infections. There had been yesterday.

Maybe they dont want any interference or dont want it known how many infected numbers they have? I dont know but it seems odd.

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

This one lists Great Britain in the map 798 cases, was that the number from yesterday? https://virusncov.com/

I maybe draconian here but if I was their boss and knew about this, they would be sacked. Wreckless endangerment.

Guy working with me... hes wife and daughter come back from Milano week ago. I ask them are they in some self isolation, quorantin .. He just laughed and told me.. "No, they fine, they come back to work." Wife works as a midwife in hospital and daughter work in the restaurant.
Several irresponsible individuals (like this one) can ruin efforts of a thousand. :mad:

Based on science......

i.e. Base on behavioural science - and the assumption that the population will get bored isolating to prevent a virus with a CFR of 3.4% spreading.

If Italy is anything to go by, the UK tactic will result in a CFR above 8% and some nasty video footage from inside hospitals.

This will all happen within 90 days. Boris has made a terrible decision.

I fear for us, right next door.

The solution to the virus problem has already been demonstrated in China, the right decision is already known. No tough decisions necessary, just follow the blueprint without trying to save a few quid along the way.

100%. There's so much control of the message by the authorities. The reality is that this virus has killed younger people, has killed healthy people (virus overload) and up to 16% of cases can suffer lifelong damage. 1 in 6.

How could you possibly know this already. Spreading this hore**** is not healthy.

Ok . . . . So at present we have schools closed with huge issues as regards roaming kids and teachers.
People are working from home where possible.
Gyms and swimming pools are closed.
Hotel industry is doomed.
Economy will be years in recovery due to panic, travel restrictions.
The 68+ age group make up 98% of deaths in Italy.
MOST of the younger people are not in danger of serious Ill effects.
We have a minority group in most danger 68+
They can be isolated to protect the health, how, perhaps isolate at home with no interaction only health personnel when required.
Actions like these would protect the economy which I’m afraid is critically important to the health of the minority in the 1st place.
I’m not trying to be controversial here

If you havent noticed this thread is made up of what you refer to as the minority no one is going to agree with you

As soon as they loosen the shutdown, infections and deaths will just go back up. Herd immunity is the only way out. The tighter the shutdown, the harder it is to develop, and the more disastrous the economic consequences.
