We should have been testing for it much earlier on than what we were. Loads of people have probably already had it and got over it, while passing it on.

Deaths in Lombardy have spiralled today, early warning shot to our authorities.
 
If it gets bad the military will be disposing of bodies in mass graves not undertakers. Funerals are banned in Italy.

Yeh no funerals. I was listening to a reporter in Italy this morning. They are burying the bodies almost immediately.
 
The percentage here will start rising once critical care beds are full.

Yup, we seem to forget, China built flat pack hospitals within days. For all the shhite China often get, some deserved, they don't half know how to deal with a problem.

Here there would be scratching chins and seeing how much could be made from it .
It should have been a warning sign .
 
They spent the first month punishing doctors who reported the virus and banning them from wearing protective gear because the [HASHTAG]#official[/HASHTAG] government position was it didn't exist.

Yes... and Trump is still doing it <laugh>

Idiots who rate their own beliefs or "hunches" higher than scientific evidence.

Another example is the Greek church which announced they won't stop communion because it's a holy thing and therefore impossible to be involved in spreading disease, and the government not condemning it because the church is too powerful.

Trump is doing it for the same reasons as the Chinese did at the start. The "nothing to see here" approach is all about money.
 
Mrs luv is going proper mental over it, insisting on going shopping tonight and getting loads of stuff in as the country will go into lock down and she's not queuing in supermarkets when it gets crazy.
Can't be arsed with it all.

The portion sizes you eat Luv, I doubt you will ever go hungry.

Only it’s a flu virus with no vaccine and is new, so there’s no current community immunity

It has a mortality rate of at least 1% - 10x that of the flu

And a transmission rate about 2.5 times that of flu.

So far the hospitalisation rates are around 10%, with 5% needing intensive care.

If this thing spreads unhindered across the populous and only 10% catch it, that’s 600,000 who’d need a hospital bed. We’ve only got 165,000 of them.....people would therefore die - needlessly, as they’d be deprived respirator care.

The entire reason countries are closing down areas is to try and slow the transmission rate down, as otherwise it’ll completely overwhelm the system.
