    There's been some reports of people spitting in the faces and physically attacking elderly people in Londonistan spreading the virus, even though there is video evidence and witnesses of these attacks its probably all bollocks, its not on the msm so it can't be true

    Can't remember where I read this but someone posted that Kebabs will be tasting different in the future as those that make them will have washed their hands. When all this C-19 business dies down, they will go back to tasting as they always have.

    Politicians across Europe are all tallking about suppressing the curve...stomping on it and flatttening it out.

    Worryingly it's an aggressive upward curve both for new infections and deaths...no signs whatsoever of the trends abating.

    Complacency in January is certainly coming home to roost.

    Meanwhile they said I need to wear only a mask and gloves to go shopping. I get there and everyone else has clothes on.

    Severe stomping seems to work

    Italy - Day 1- 2 - week2 -35 - 1 month-3404
    UK - Day 1-1 - week 2 - 144 - 1 month?

    Yes, I recognise that, just putting some hope out there to show that if the necessary actions are taken then in an apparent short time it can be tamed.

    It looks better on a logarithmic scale

    The spread in the UK is now so far reaching that any hope of containment is probably futile.

    Slowing infections is now the only intention but I fear that too will be in the vain.

    Far too many people out and about.

    Thats what I meant by the Chinese stomping on it. I wouldn't have liked to have gone out in China when the authorities told you not to.

    Exactly...no one is listening here.

    They are in for a very rude awakening I fear.

    Even Boris Johnson directly asked if he would see his elderly mother on mothers day said he would hope to see her at some point even though he would be working all weekend. He'd just announced the closure of pubs etc and he still can't drive home the message about protecting the elderly and vunerable.

    Can anyone else tell me...do you think it's better to get the virus now or stay healthy but maybe get it at a later date ?

    It’s terribly difficult to compare case numbers country to country as every country is using a different criteria for testing. Some test only if you show symptoms and some test for less so figures will be varied. Only accurate figures at this point in my opinion are deaths per country per day. Based on that, Italy is a tragedy with Spain not too far behind. So far in Ireland thankfully we’ve still only three to date. That will obviously rise but hopefully at a slow rate. Number of infections really only relevant if they need serious hospital care

    Get it now while hospitals can look after you. That’s assuming though you’ve no other serious conditions or elderly relatives you are in close contact with

    No one knows, in the near future 12 months there may be a vaccine.
    If you are young probably makes no difference,
    The older generation catching it will collapse all hospitals etc.
    We (spain) have been in lockdown for 8 days, cops are taking it seriously, people are getting told to stay at home, and fined for going out. We now have more people (dickheads) fined for being out than cases.
    supermarkets have everything, people have come out of total retard mentality.
    Only hindsight will tell, but china and south corea with their total lockdowns seem to have the virus contained.
