Eh? Given that nobody has any immunity to it at all I’m not sure what this means. You got any source for this?

They tested the spread and shit when it was first becoming a thing, simply Google it and you will find all the info you want.
It's running at 3 time's the predicted need for treatment in Italy.

How many games do you take the form for though? last 6? Last 8? Last 10? or just do PPG overall so far? Each one likely to have a different outcome.
If last 6 - Oxford in playoffs
If PPG - Wycombe
Italy is being hit hard because of the age factor or so I read.

I don't think that's the case. Swine flu had a mortality rate of 0.8%. The thinking appears to be that covid-19 may have a mortality rate of 2% but confess I haven't seen too much on projected infections. Do you have a link?

I read earlier today that the average age of those who have died in Italy is 81 ......Average!!

They released a statistic a few years ago saying they reckon 200/300k more people died of swine flu than what was actually recorded.

I took my figure for swine flu from a peer-reviewed paper. But this aside, Shimmeee, I don't think this gives us a window into its contagiousness, which would be the other component here on how lethal it is. On the mortality rate, it's been considered that the worldometer figure is inflated by a lesser accuracy in identifying covid-19 at the early stages of the outbreak. But we know it all too early to say.

Wow the Forest owner literally bringing the Championship down. Met all the players, met with fans etc...I think we are weeks if not sooner for games to be played behind closed doors or suspended for a month.

Heard on Radio 2 that it takes 5 days for symptoms to kick in. I’m not quite panicking just yet, a bit worried maybe to see how soon they’re going to nip this in the bud.
Just hoping the bog roll horders get the chronic shits. And hopefully those selling it on get it even worse.

I have, but I’ve never seen that said anywhere before and as you said it on a public forum I wondered if you could maybe back it up?

At this stage in the season I don't see why they couldn't promote the top 3

Look for the sake of all our bets for Cov to win league just call it now EFL !
It was around the time the women in this country took a Uber to hospital, and they said something like there was not enough sustained close contact and that it can only spread a few feet Infront of you, but this was before the new strain the less deadly strain was identified.

Things you should know.
1. Every western country is on exactly the same track as Italy, the only variable is the date of the first case. So in two weeks time UK likely to be like Italy today
2. Only one western economy breaks this rule - Japan, which is curious given the age of the population
3. Italy has a death rate of 8% - but it too has an elderly population
4. Euro's likely to be put off so that domestic competitions can be completed.
5. China's cycle from start to finish was around 8 weeks.
6. An open air football stadium has a low contamination risk. BUT WHO advice (not yet done by HM Govt) is for over 60's not to go (bugger)

How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu? | Live Science
This article (references studies from peer reviewed journals) states that flu has an infection rate, (measured by how many people each infected person will infect and called R0) of R0 = 1.2. Preliminary studies suggest Coronavirus has an infection rate of R0 = 2 - 3, so its roughly twice as infectious as the flu. Which kills many thousands every year. It also has a significantly higher mortality rate. So, easier to catch than the flu and significantly more deadly according to the data so far.
If you have any source that contradicts those figures I’ll happily take a look.

Yes, it has a significantly higher rate than 'seasonal flu' but not significantly higher than the 2009 swine flu pandemic. Again, swine flue rate was 0.8%, the figures in the article you quote vary from 1-4% to 2.3%. Again, context is important 1% of the world caught swine flu, of which 1% died

That is just not true, italy couldn't get a handle on where the virus was entering from meaning they couldn't contain the spread. The first confirmed cases were on the same day in the uk and italy.
Also the leaking of the plan to lock down Lombardy was spread it around the country faster than normal.

Any mention on here about the Nottingham Forest owner testing positive for corona virus? He was also at their last game...

5% according to the bbc. Again, the real rate will only be known once more extensive testing for the disease has taken place.
