Swine flu - Just read that between 11-21% of the worlds population contracted this
up to 575k deaths
I dont remember anything of that really - no panic, nothing
are we really going to get that many cases or that many deaths this time ? if not what is different

Not trying to be dismissive now, genuinely interested as why I do not remember any panic in 2009

That's been my perspective from the start and, like you, I don't at all mean to be dismissive. Possibly we aren't quite getting the logarithmic impact of SARS2 as being twice as infectious.

mortality rate. swine flu 0.02% vs expected coronavirus 1%.
Swine flu lasted around 18 months. If same approach as there was with Swine flu then you don't even want to contemplate the number of deaths over 18 months.
Hopefully point is Govts have learned something from Swine Flu and that is why earlier action was taken in comparison to 2009

Saw an example at the WE .
From initial source over roughly 100days would lead to around 13-14M without distancing/,isolation etc.

According to her husband, Linda Lusardi is "at death's door" from Corona, aged 61. Hope she pulls through.
But the CovTel article about the 18 year old lad dying "after testing positive for coronavirus" is fake news - his death was unrelated to the fact that he had Covid-19. That sort of story we do NOT need!

Keep plodding through it. It might help if you described some of your symptoms. The suggestion what it is mild is the bit where people get confused.

Started with a constant cough, annoying but you can get on with it however this was when I started self isolation, few days of this with a high temp (going hot n cold) then a day break where it was just the cough, felt great and even did some miles on the bike. Day after cough returned heavily, breathing struggling, a large pain shooting constantly across the top of my head accompanied by what can be described as an electric shock coming from my ears every 15 seconds and sore eyes. Sensitive to light and sound, i tried to clear some plates and the sound broke me. The cough then hits all of them at once with a huge bout of pain. Paracetamol and lemsip help but it’s a rough ride

@Covstu Not belittling what you are going through, and sounds fucking horrible, but do you know if you have had Covid-19, or could it just as easily be influenza? Did you have the flu vaccine back in the Autumn.

That sounds thoroughly shitty.... take care of yourself. Has anyone else in your household picked it up from you?

To be honest, had the flu numerous times and never lasted two weeks and this aggressive. Until I’m tested I will never know but just going by what 111 had said

The government were clear from the off to adhere to the 2m social distancing rule but unfortunately we have a large number of selfish twats that didn't take this seriously.

I don't think we were too late to react, I think we had to be tougher for the sake of the country.

Unfortunately there will still be wankers that won't keep their 2m distance so I hope the police issue large fines on them (£100 shall do)

Right? Like how the government don’t employ police and courts and just ask people nicely to not commit crimes!

Oh no, wait. That’s a ridiculous idea and would be a dereliction of their duty to protect citizens. Turns out being in government actually involves doing stuff and not just making waffle filled statements and hoping everyone’s a good chap.

I've been given at least 4 weeks off now,

Got a email of my boss last night around half 10, telling us too stay put, I can't do my job from home,

Cashed in my token to leave the house for a walk this morning and was surprised to see little has changed, very irresponsible.

Nothing has changed has it. Still people packed into trains and tubes, still queues at supermarkets. I'm sat at home working and can see loads of people walking / driving past. Sure they aren't all going somewhere essential or using their daily exercise allowance.

Don't think Gove helped this morning. Confusing messages that have had to be clarified and saying places like construction sites are fine to open.

That last paragraph doesn't bode well for the idea that Richie is coming to the rescue of the 5,M self employed .
Who I will add a fair proportion are not , sole traders, partnerships or limited companies.
Fake use of these masks across construction, automotive design exhibitions etc .
People working For the same people for years.

I can't see anything other then a full scale lockdown, no leaving the house under any circumstance. All people had to do was not be a bunch of cunts, and they can't even do that.

I'm currently at work as I am the first point of contact for around 1000 tenants on a highrise council estate, it's quiet but still people pottering around, junkies bouncing around the blocks looking for their smack and the local alchies in the shop getting their cheap booze and no one sticking to the 2 people 2 metre rule
