Coronavirus

Deaths in Lombardy have spiralled today, early warning shot to our authorities.

 

So since the consensus on here appears to be we should lockdown areas are you now saying i should have been stockpiling bogroll

 

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.

 

yeah, it's now deadlier than booze.

 

Fook! Does that mean Comms going to live longer than me, ffs! He'll be dancing on my grave with bottle in hand.

Edit: Aldi tinny in hand

 

They just got on with it !
Here there would be scratching chins and seeing how much could be made from it .
It should have been a warning sign .

 

Your be alright mate, there'll be a surplus of bog paper once we cart all the dead off

 

They spent the first month punishing doctors who reported the virus and banning them from wearing protective gear because the #official government position was it didn't exist.

True

 

Yes... and Trump is still doing it

 

Because China believes in keeping things in house, they probably didn't like the message that sent out.

 

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.

 

letting them die is cheaper.

 

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.

 

Some people are just dense ffs. iTz jUsT dA fLU.

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.

 

Sooty has it too! Wash your hands Harry
