Surely they expected this infact as horrible as today is we are currently running well belwo the number they where expecting at this stage,

Let's have no illusions the very very best case scenario here is still going to leave hundreds if not thousands dead,

This ****er of a virus has only got started

Don't say that to the families of those involved

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. Nobody has been told not to do this.

The message is not to avoid going outside. It's to avoid other people, crowded areas, not going shopping unless necessary etc.

Exactly. Get some exercise but avoid interaction with others.

Take a break from the internet, may do you good.

Tell that to the families of the 19 people who have so far passed away. RIP.
And stay in your house if you are not on the frontline.

Can someone explain what the risks are, say, for just going for a quick stroll round the block and avoiding people, surely that is not 'risky'?

No attacks please!

Just don’t. It’s selfish and unnecessary. If everyone has the same idea as you, then you have a crowd.

9 deaths in the east, 1 in the south.

Call the GP as symptoms change, criteria for testing changes but be safer ask the GP advice

When are we expecting to see results of physical distancing?

Two weeks after we start.

I don't really foresee us starting it until complete lock down. So awhile yet

I'd presume there's some other underlying reason, don't know what though....?

Women have more aggressive immune systems. This results in a lower incidence of acquired illnesses like Covid, but a higher incidence of autoimmune conditions, stuff like Lupus, so there are pros and cons.

It's also been speculated that male populations are more inclined to smoke heavily, and social pressure to wash hands etc frequently is greater for women.

i sort of tend to agree, but i think they want everyone to act as though they are in a cluster and isolate as per the guidelines

There are many here who disagree with you. Going for a walk or jog every day does nobody any harm if social distancing is maintained.

Not selfish or stupid despite the poster who felt the need to tell you twice. Obviously just be smart in choosing quiet areas to walk well away from other people.

Would nursing homes inform all of the families if they had one positive case in the home? Or only the family of the person concerned?

There's an outbreak in a nursing home just a 10 minute drive from the home my parent is in. It's very scary.

She spoke to GP who said if it was Corona you wouldn't be able to get out of bed...not sure if she was talking generally or in terms of mum's age group.

Are you definite about that with information to back it up? Otherwise it's purely speculative scaremongering.

Jin luk · 26-03-2020 10:25PM

If its okay to be out and about exercising or whatever,

Then why was china and italy and that santizing everything? every road every footpath they knew this virus was on everything, everything was deep cleaned.

Here are the latest Italian stats. Deaths at 6,801. The thing to note is that the percentages of each age group that have died have not shifted significantly. 95% of all deaths are 60+. Even if you move the bar to 70+ its still 84% of all deaths. Still no deaths under 30 (so far) have been recorded.

https://www.epicentro.iss.it/coronavirus/bollettino/Infografica_26marzo%20ENG.pdf

Older people in Spain and Italy are being sedated and let die, while limited attention and supplies are spent on younger people who are more like to live. So it's important to recognise how much this will skew death rates also

You guys really want disaster. It's the hospitalization and death statistics that matter, and they are steady enough.

I'd be afraid that that would lead to possibly panic in those areas as people try to leave or complacency in others as people may think they can afford to relax.

That's not coronavirus - sounds more like food poisoning

If it's a quiet area and you're not likely to bump into many people, and if you do can bump into people can stay the required 2 meters away, wash your hands before you go and make sure not to touch anything on the stroll then it's not risky.

The only thing I can think of is some people worry they could carry the virus in to their house on the bottom of their shoes. I'd say the chances of that are minuscule though.
