    i hope i'm wrong but I think we're in for a rude awakening over the next few days. our "lockdown" is one of the weakest in europe and we massively messed up our testing program and are now likely a week behind actual figures.

    I Agree, I get the same feeling.

    We've been nowhere near aggressive enough with anything we've done. It's been a soft limp-wristed approach.

    I hope we're wrong too. But I feel many people have their blinkers firmly on, and they're about to get a big wake up call...

    Getting more concerned, numbers are increasing a lot around us and I feel we are still not prepared for whats coming.

    Whatever comes wont be as bad as we think, whatever comes will be dealt with, its death, people will get on with it. What I'm worried about is there wont be a function economy and society left after. Convincing these shutdown fetisiscts to think of the greater good is impossible.

    Looking at the statistics :-

    The China statistics still puzzle me, why are they so low, given spread in other countries, and how did they more or less contain it with Wuhan/Hubai region ?

    I understand Wuhan went into complete lockdown late January , but the virus had 2 months to spread throughout China, whilst they were unaware of virus /and the cover up early January -
    Surley the number of cases should be much higher in China and it should have spread throughout rest of China (given what happened elsewhere) ?

    Because when China issued a lockdown, people locked down.

    When Italy did, they went skiing.

    That won't happen and they'll be granted bail in the High Court if they apply.

    But at the same time we are not seeing footage of Army trucks picking up bodies or temporary morgues in Germany as we are for Spain and Italy

    Statististics invariably conceal as much as they reveal.

    Skype infrastructure must be under sever stress. I'd say 50% + of media contributors are having trouble with connections.

    F*ck the economy. That will recover eventually.

    Human life is more important. A lost life can't be recovered.

    It’s also due to how deaths are being recorded. In Germany where there is a significant underlying pre-existing co-morbidity it is being put down as the cause of death whereas in Italy they are putting down Coronavirus. So apples aren’t being compared with apples throughout. This of course is true of so many of the stats in this pandemic. For instance, broader testing = more cases = lower death rate per 1,000 cases but not lower amount of people dying.


    That's interesting, thanks, didn't know that. You would expect it to be standardised.

    Anyone else getting a bit desensitized by the whole thing, its here now, people are going die. All we can do is slow it down.

    Well obviously people will die. The question is how many. Look at the death rates in Italy and Spain when their systems got overloaded. Flatten the curve we will limit the deaths.

    Am wondering does WhatsApp video call and Apple face time take some of the pressure off as I’ve been wondering this myself seeing all the Skype interviews on tv.

    Make them homeless and destitute and it will end up creating an even bigger problem.

    Just deal with them through the court system.

    Any pre-meditated offences or crimes against the person should result in a sentence at the upper range of the appropriate tariff.

    If the current pressure on prison spaces is a problem then postpone the sentence.

    I undestand that, but they still had 2 months (December and January) when the virus would have run freely, cause they were unaware of it (and the initial cover up ) - Why did the rest of China not need to go into lockdown ?

    Very very suspect .

    I wonder if that ‘one life’ was one of your loved ones, would you feel the same.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.
