Coronavirus (12 Viewers)

[Ring Of Steel]

Germany has risen by 800 in a day - we have risen by 134 - what are they doing that we are not?

No idea, I also know they've had 4 deaths from about 2,000 cases, we've had 10 deaths from 596 cases.

What % of people in the UK do people think will get the virus if we can't slow it down?

Im going with 10-20%

You are surely on the wind up there

So is it deaths or escalation? I thought you said Johnson is doing nothing to stop escalation?

I said if it spreads rapidly and we can't control it/slow it down.... why do you think it would be more or less than 1 in 5?

To be honest nobody knows do they, I'm just going on what Germany said, that 70% could get it, I do know in Ireland they said that it could be 80%, so on that basis alone you have to think it will be more than 20% here.. or 'there' should I say.

Very concerning, we just need to get past the peak like china have done! Lets just hope our peak is a small percentage like theirs was of 80 thousand cases which in reality isn't a massive number

So if they ramp up test volume per day the positive amount is going to increase per day.

I am getting the symptoms- I have headache and fever, but thats due to all the fu*king confusion and misinformation, kids off, transport gone, trying to sort VPN, shops empty- you'd think we were going to war or something

unfortunately its now 10 that have died

But Germany and Ireland are isolating so what’s the point if it has no impact on infections?

Which is still very low isn’t it?

Trump claims UK excluded from travel ban for 'doing a good job'

Donald Trump has said he excluded UK from his Europe travel ban because Britain "is doing a good job" in tackling coronavirus.

Following widespread criticism of his Oval Office address to the nation on Wednesday evening, when he announced a raft of restrictions on travel from European countries from Friday, the president said he had not consulted with European officials – some of whom complained they felt blindsided by the announcement – because he had to move quickly.

Yes its amazing how his travel ban excludes anywhere where he happens to own a resort (the ban doesn't include Ireland either).

Not much by the looks of it: Germany: Coronavirus Crisis Leads to More Restrictions, Closures and Cancellations

Few closures and advice to the public but nothing large scale.

I found this interesting, the grey bars are “true cases” in hindsight and the orange are reported cases in China.

Shows that while true cases immediately stalled after lockdown, the reported cases kept climbing for another 12 days, so we’d be unlikely to see much impact from any more recent outbreak responses just yet IMO.

Also seems a bit much considering less than a week ago it was fake news by the MSM against him.

 

[David O'Day]

Is it 10 in the UK or 8 plus the Japan and Bsli cases?

Why is Britain so behind other nations in its coronavirus response? | Daily Mail Online

Look at the map on this article on what other countries are doing compared to us, Boris is pissing me off abit now ngl we need to pull our finger out and get it under control before we end up like south Korea or Italy, we need restrictions in place so it peaks at a low rate.....

Hopefully Boris is going to announce it at 4:30 because it isn't good enough from him atm

That is fantastic:

Public Gatherings Banned
Support for business with reduced working hours
Trains, buses, planes disinfected
National Guard Deployed

UK? "People told to wash hands"

Boris doesn't "do" big decisions, he usually runs away when something serious happens.

It's estimated 20% of China's population became infected.
Roughly 270M.
80k recorded cases
Current cases 15k
4.2k severe critical reduced by circa 1.5k since yesterday .
If accurate mortality rate of circa 0 .000015%

Edited for Marty's correction

 

[ajsccfc]

These would be mad numbers for a whole country, let alone a region.

Hitting that curve at the right point.

If it was 20% of the population infected, wouldn't it be around the two hundred million mark?

South Korea's done Very well really TBF
I'd be asking Germany what they're doing
Mortality at 0.2 % there
Russia keeping a lid on it too, always seems the case there with these more recent epidemics.

 

[shmmeee]

Self isolate for 7 days if you’ve got a new cough or a fever

Sorry Pal you've busted me

 

[Marty]

Sorry Pal you've busted me

not trying to be an arse but is it 20% - 200,000,000 or 2.7% - 27,000,000

 

[wingy]

Sorry Pal you've busted me

That's hard to imagine 270M
Brings it down to .000015% , same as regular flu

 

[wingy]

not trying to be an arse but is it 20% - 200,000,000 or 2.7% - 27,000,000

Definitely been suggested 20,% doesn't mean it's accurate though.

 

[Corrado]

Did I hear the thought is 80% of the population will get it with a 1% mortality rate?? 528’000 deaths!!

That was a potential very worst case scenario they looked at when gaming the outbreak

It was very very light hearted. No offence was meant.

Is this enough? Maybe at this stage but when does that change?

We were told at school today that it is 95% likely we will be shut down within 2 weeks and to prepare for Y11 to have access to everything online.
