Testing must be expanded immediate to a statistically valid random sample of the population to get a handle on the scale of the mess we are in.

The proof that this is vital lies in the following study of spread in China, reported cases not main human vector of transmission.

Substantial undocumented infection facilitates the rapid dissemination of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2)

well that lag seems fairly long atm if its 4-5-6 weeks total military state, given impact longterm those few weeks will result in years of recession, not all bad but imagine plenty of people that need to feed mouths and pay bills to keep afloat.

People won't starve, banks won't repossess homes. There's no profit to be made ****ting their own bed, the banks will just have to work with people, extending mortgages and the likes. Impoverishing your own customers to the point that they no longer pay anything is bad for business.

Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame already wrote it, Dead Set, where Big Brother show goes on during a zombie apocalypse. Still on Netflix I think, good watch, tho maybe not at the mo. Not the first time one of his outlandish plots has come true (hints Pigs getting things done to them by British PMs)

Might have been posted but he has acknowledged he's a soothsayer

Load of BS, they keep getting worse even in lock-down mode, numbers climbing up, look at UK no lockdowns and its quite stable, so something doesnt connect.
china has almost full recoveries now- hard to believe that 1.4bill managed to contain it so good, where italy surpasses them in deaths.

It matters when you lockdown. Early the better. Everything doesn't magically disappear when you put a lockdown. If there has been widespread infection then lockdown will do little.

Personally, I feel this virus could kill twenty billion people. Worse than all the great wars combined. People will be eating snails from the garden. Birth rate will drop as couples will not perform coitus.

There's not 20 billion people to kill

People are still so clueless in the UK. A prominent enough UK breast cancer survivor who is also a doctor and not long finished with treatment put up a tweet yesterday evening wondering whether or not she should go to the gym. Seriously, like? She is at least getting admonished in the replies. She’s in a position of influence. She should know better.

Is anyone else finding this whole experience incredibly surreal? It's not that I don't believe it, but it's like living in a bubble or something, just such a strange experience. I travel a lot for work and that's been off for the past 3 weeks or so and will be for the foreseeable future, and there's also a chance that my job could be in danger in time, but there are so many things to worry about and it's so overwhelming that I just can't get my head around it at all!!!

Is it true that K&N induction kits can be retrofitted into ventilators?

BluePlanet · 17-03-2020 01:54PM

Leo made a statement about freezing mortgages, but funnily enough left out renters.

Some of those mortgages that ppl are clamouring to be frozen right now are for 2nd homes that are rented out.
Convenient to freeze mortgage payments for owners but not that money coming from hard pressed renters.

Another case of bailing out the Haves with a transfer of wealth off the backs of the Have-Nots?

Interesting article in Wired on the science behind the big shift in the UK's coronavirus strategy.

UK, Netherlands and Sweden adopting ‘herd immunity’ strategy. Wouldn't dismiss it as a strategy out of hand. Will be interesting to see the results when things settle down.

There's reading between the lines and inserting entire books between then. I suspect the latter.

I suspect America is going to be a bloodbath. Their healthcare set up is simply not up for this kinda thing, not without a lot of changes.

Temporarily. It WILL bounce back and I'll lay bets now the speed of that bounce back will surprise the naysayers. We've bounced back from much much worse as a species. Hell, look at Germany in 1945. Utterly fooked. Millions dead, a generation lost, cities pulverised. My own father and an uncle saw it first hand just after the shooting stopped and they couldn't believe how any society could possibly recover. Fast forward twenty years... Same went for much of war torn Europe.

Plus what look like and are horrible disasters to live through, the survivors pretty much always end up living in better societies after it passes. Put it another way, without the Black death we wouldn't have modern society we cherish today. It directly impacted class mobility, workers rights, the reformation, the enlightenment and a host of other drivers of the modern world. And the Black Death made the very worst of the possible outcomes of Covid look like a pleasant picnic in the sun. With cake and ginger beer.

Love realistic positivity like this !!

Thanks !!!

Twice the population with 10 times the number of cases. Very roughly

They've only just started testing in the US

So many are just the prophet's of doom on here
