What the hell is that supposed to be?

South Korea didn't go in for a military dictatorship style lockdown (as favoured by the authoritarians on Twitter). They are an open and liberal democracy like ourselves.

What has being a democracy got to do with locking down your country to save 1,000's of lives? You don't have any civil liberties when you're in a body bag on your way to the morgue!

The Italians and Spanish are finding that out right now... with their liberal democracies!

I can assure you they went in far harder and stricter than we did... people were complaining here, after a couple of days being stuck in the house. Which is a bit pathetic really tbh!

We've got to toughen ourselves up a bit, because tighter restrictions will be coming very soon... we will have no choice as our numbers keep going up. Hopefully it won't be too late by that time!

Thanks Damien - hadn’t thought about Jersey or Guernsey.

I see! To be honest, he should have just left out the Isle of Man seeing as nobody really thinks of it and the Channel Islands as separate from the UK. Like Professor Moriarty said, it was a weird addition to the list. The UK is always spoke of as four countries, not seven.

Why did Sars not have this impact?

High death rate (people dying before they could pass it on to many people) and people weren't shedders during incubation

Numbers. SARS wasn't as contagious and symptoms were more severe so people didn't get as much of a chance to spread it

Without getting carried away, perhaps we finally have a legitimate answer to the Fermi Paradox. We’re so vulnerable to these Viruses that they could potentially wipe out the Human Race! this Virus won’t do that but perhaps the next one or the one after that. ****ty Viruses could be the true Great Filter.

Following on from my post yesterday, my mother in law passed away with it today. She had underlying conditions (cancer and diabetes) but was scarily quick how it took hold.

Nurses were an absolute joy to deal with, gave great updates etc.. fully in line with family not being able to be present. Her husband and daughter only spoke with her at 10am and she was chatting to them over the phone with the aid of one of the nurses in her full PPE. She was actually terrified which was the saddest thing. But she was alert and hopeful. By 1pm she was gone, before she had even made it off isolation. We were told it happened very quickly. Its very f*cking real.

So sorry for your loss x

Cant believe the numbers coming out of the US, almost 17,000 cases. Didnt think any countries had the capabiltiy to test that many in the day , wtf was up wth all of China having a 4k or so testing limit per day?

Because it was caught and suppressed relatively quickly, but mostly because it was a lot less infectious. If it had been as infectious as this SARS-2, with the same incubation period, we would be looking at probably a large percentage of human kind wiped out. Billions would die.

I checked out FlightRadar24 earlier to see how light the flights in Europe were during the day. It didn't look too far from what it does at this time of night, in other words near empty. I then look at the US and they look like any typical working day. If you count the fact that there are reduced numbers from Europe, then there are so many internal flights that are acting as the perfect transmission hosts.

Kermit.de.frog · 27-03-2020 12:24AM

Italy is fast approaching 10,000 deaths.

That's 10,000 in a matter of weeks. There are no words that can describe properly was has happened in the country to go from normality last month to the nightmare it's enduring now.

Hopefully the peak for them is now.

Hard not to be anxious for every other country in Europe.

With SARS when you were contagious you were really, visibly, quite ill.

There was no silent spread from healthy hosts.

Because of the lockdown they’re running low on supplies.

The reason our Govt went with the South Korea model is they are a similar democracy to ourselves. Wuhan was always a non runner (and the military dictatorship style curfew favoured by the nuts on Twitter was only ever applied to a single city, not an entire country).

Also, the WHO warned western governments against moving to lockdown too soon - their emphasis was always as much on testing and contact tracing.

I won't go into the conspiracy theory side, but would it be possible for a terrorist group to make such a virus that you mentioned?

Wouldn't be in the interest of the virus to wipe us all out. Better to become less deadly which many do over time and become endemic in a population.

Not likely as the DNA of covid19 is much more like SARS and MERS which are unable to change their DNA. Influenza can change its DNA structure thus reinfect. Also one must take 2 tests to be sure they’re clear. Chinese test kits are notoriously unreliable, just ask the Italians.

A country yes, a terrorist group, no. North Korea and Iran are arguably both.

What do you make of Iceland apparently identifying 40 strains of it?

You are predicting the US to have an awful time with covid-19 and blaming Trump for it.
Italy and Spain have had a massive amount of deaths due to it. Who are you blaming for that?
If you are not blaming their leaders the you are a hypocrite blaming Trump.
