When you compare population size, to date their death rate has been considerably higher, let's hope we can keep ours as low as possible.
Their infection rate only looks lower as they are testing less than were. I have a friend who works for a local authority in Scotland in a department that looks after the needs of the elderly in the community. He reckons the UK is several steps behind every other country in Europe when it comes to the strategy their taking.

The Dutch get caught out with a big cluster, around a hospital I believe, and were too lax in addressing it.

Did you ask your GP to get you tested since?

I had cough for two weeks before that so he said I would be past infectious stage and would probably show negative anyway.

He said more cases to be prioritised for testing which I agreed with.

Interesting Twitter thread. All of the comments have a similar story - terribly sick in the winter, fever and struggling to breath, all tested negative for the flu and a number had pneumonia. I'm still convinced this has been around a while.
This also lines up with the theory many people have no symptoms.. maybe because they've already had it?

Its like he realised how stupid it was as he said it and the tone just dropped and dropped

BTW everyone is now buying PCs to work from home.
So much for the death of the PC platform.
Half-life Alyx is coming out in 3 days also.

No most countries are taking an immunity approach including us. Holland and the UK are the only ones with the bright idea to try it without any controls.

100% I was floored for over a week and if it was now I'm sure I'd have been tested. Got my flu shot in october as well.

I had the cough for at least 2 weeks after the fatigue had gone.

I am wondering how it's so different to our own?

We kept referring to the ECDC and WHO guidelines and followed them. They did something different and only lately decided to follow the rest of the world.

They had people aboard the Princess Diamond.

Officials welcomed them home by shaking their hands for the cameras. They didn't even quarantine them.

The Dutch handled all of this in quite a weird way.

What's 'Bare ppl'? (from the tweet)

Anyway, this has been debunked numerous times.

Herd immunity is ignoring those who need hospital treatment. Then it would work, heartless and unlawful, but would work. What the UK is doing is silly,

What are families to do if a family member in the home tests positive but everyone else in the home is negative?

How do the healthy members protect themselves from the infected for the duration of the infectious period? Between the symptomatic and recovery phases that could be well be a month or more.

Will the infected person have to be confined to and isolated in a sealed off room or part of the house and the rest of the house decontaminated for the healthy?

Or would the infected have to leave the house and be committed to the likes of some sort of Covid sanitorium or residential institution?

Or would the house have to be considered contaminated as long as that infected incubator is resident and they would be left there and the healthy family members would go elsewhere until the infection risk has passed and the house thoroughly fumigated?

It would seem very unfair to me for healthy persons to be exposed to infection risk from an incubator.

I predict that extended periods in isolation could see the mental health of incubators suffer and they may begin to break their isolation regimes. I suspect that the new emergency Public Health legislation voted through yesterday in the Dail may be utilised. Those who refuse to comply with isolation and confinement will be apprehended and forcibly confined in closed institutions. I predict that a couple of months into this that there will be a massive spike in suicides as a result of catastrophic deterioration of mental health.

And how come no one died if thats the case.

Hint, it wasn't CV19

Any public servants affected with wages?

Not yet. My dad was a civil servant and he worked hard, so I certainly don't have any beef with them but I don't see how they're going to keep paying their generous salaries and pensions with the mess that's coming. I don't know when I'll be working again but I'll be ok as I have enough savings to keep me ticking over probably for a couple of years if really frugal and the banks pause my mortgage for a while.
Everyone has to bear the brunt.

A doctor in Italy or here would probably have noticed something was up if 400 people a day were dying back in December.

How do you know nobody died? They can't attribute it to the flu if it wasn't the flu.

Maybe I should have been more specific and that said we should follow a Hubei type lockdown. You all know the whining we'd hear though if it was even tried here.

The many closures here mean the numbers of passengers on buses and trains here are much lower. If they keep a lot of space among themselves and from the driver's seat (I noticed a cordon sealing-off the passenger seats behind the driver seats on a bus that was still being run) and they clean their hands thoroughly then there's no problem.

We all know the Chinese Communist Party's safety standard is a joke. Sure, look at the wet markets in that country!

If COVID-19 was around in the winter, why weren't our hospitals full like the Italian hospitals are now? Utter bullsh1t that what people had in the middle of winter was COVID-19.

My brother and I had this flu. It was seriously a bad dose. I felt like I was going to die every night waking up almost choking while unable to swallow my own saliva.

They have diagnosed that strain. It is not the same. I had the one in December and was floored for 6;weeks. People self diagnosing that as what we have is crazy. People think they have immunity and are going about their daily business. It’s not the same. If it was the fatalities would have been way worse. A slightly higher than normal fatality rate happened.,also, the vaccination worked for most.

Agree completely, which is a shame because I had that dose during Christmas time.
