fack! 8.34% mortality!

Forget the mortality rate, it won't be accurate, there will be thousands, probably tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of cases that aren't being confirmed or reported.

Jesus, it is devastating what is happening in Italy, how on earth is it so bad there yet not so in likes of germany etc? Are figures being downplayed elsewhere?

GM228 · 18-03-2020 05:22PM

Finally they are closing schools in the UK, but not until the end of the week.

I just want to share with you something nice. Today my landlord come to my door, ask me how I am, how is a family and just say..."about rent, don't worry. Pay half, if you can. If you can't it's still ok. After this finish, we will come back to normal price, till then just mind yourself and your family..."
With people like this, and with this spirit, we can go thru any trouble. Maybe we can share more positive thinks like this here... boost our spirit and raised optimism.

The way the UK are acting/dealing with this, they could be it (in a week or so).

They might even be worse (not that I wish for it to happen, but they and the Netherland are looking for trouble with their strategy - although they seem to be slowly realising it isn't going to work).

It'll take another week, at least, before Italy's numbers come down.

skellig_rocks · 18-03-2020 05:24PM

People need to be more positive. I know the numbers are scary. But if we follow strict guidelines from the government we should be able
to control the spread of the coronavirus. Places like Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, even Japan and South Korea are able to
control the community transmission of the virus, without complete lockdowns. It is proven COVID-19 can be controlled, with strict measures. Of course we all need to do our parts. We have time advantage compared to mainland Europe.

So did Scotland/Wales force Boris hand re the closure of schools

In solidarity with everyone who is losing their jobs, the teachers should go on the dole too. We cant afford to pay them. Makes sense, right? We are heading into the greatest economic depression.

Never heard so much crap they will be continually preparing work at home uploading work for kids also attending school 1/2 days a week getting packs ready for kids

There is no decrease, slow down in Italy, heartbreaking for that country

They need another week for the lock down to start affecting the numbers.

But that is every country. What it does show is the fact that once symptoms are severe a huge amount don’t survive.

Either televise religious services for all religions or none at all.

2016 Census Ireland 78% Catholic, just over 13% Muslim, just under 10% no religion.

Only figures available, anything else is simply based on ad hoc anecdotal gossip in individuals' social circles.

Our schools are only closed until the 30th of March. What do you think will have changed by then?

There's a 2 week delay in cases due to the incubation period. It'll be another week before the numbers come down.

This virus must spread so easily.

The R0 must be higher than 3 IMO, the spread is like wildfire.

Is there any news about how Spain's ICUs are coping? I have not heard the same stories out of there as with Italy. Has anyone heard?

there would be a very quick end to this is everyone just stayed home...or for those who absolutely cannot due to food shopping or essential job, then you must treat everyone who comes into your vicinity as if they were infected. EVERYONE
