That’s really interesting. What about japan!!? And is that accurate. I thought we started at the same time as Italy

Not sure i have said they have 'the best testing' - which i presume is what you meant.
Will see how it develops in other countries, hopefully there won't be the same issues.
No, I heard the UK is a couple of weeks behind.That’s really interesting. What about japan!!? And is that accurate. I thought we started at the same time as Italy
I am not sure of how Germany is testing and whether it has a similar attitudie to the UK of who and when they get tested.The rate of climb has been much higher and the death rate a lot higher. Germany actually is a similar age demographic and has 2 deaths to date - that’s an anomaly whichever way you view it

The graph? I have asked for the data but it has not been forthcoming.Italy’s first reported case was 6 days after France so it’s rubbish
Italy failed at the stage we seem to be doing well at. The containment stageWe did. Both countries had their first cases on 31 January. On 22nd Feb i think we had 9 confirmed and on the 17 Feb Italy had 16 and then from there the numbers in Italy have rocketed. I don't really see where the 'weeks behind Italy' stuff is coming from.
There is no evidence that every country is going to see huge numbers so quickly like China or Italy
What specific measures is the UK taking to contain it?Italy failed at the stage we seem to be doing well at. The containment stage

Blue passports, tea drinking, stiff upper lip, Brexit, ban bloody foreigners from entering. Oh, and contact tracing.What specific measures is the UK taking to contain it?

I know that's why I publicly asked for the data behind it.the graph is bollocks
I don’t think it has truly been established yet why Italy etc have had more cases. Suggestions have been high levels of chinese immigrants, ageing population, the legendary Italian thumbs up to authority (like the skiers that contravened a lock down zone and tested positive), the physical closeness of italians (very tactile people, lots of kisses etc), the ‘Milan never stops’ thing etc.CT was done here but I don’t think patient zero was ever identified, seen reports that it was believed to have been a German.
I agree with most and have said so this morning on here today. There is talk of even more restrictions coming in for the whole of Veneto and Lombardia, which will be fun.I don’t think it has truly been established yet why Italy etc have had more cases.

I read an article saying that finally the people there are realising it is serious and are now obeying the rules (more so anyway).
Any thoughts on that?
The article i was reading was not very hopeful for Italy’s financial outcome from this. Serious danger of the banks failing in the third biggest eurozone economy (think Greece x 10). Too big to allow to crash, too big to bail out. Italian banks are up to their balls in bad debt and will struggle to withstand the likely economic crash that is imminent. Also Italy’s economy big enough to drag the Eurozone down with it. Suggesting it may have no choice but to exit the EU...I agree with most and have said so this morning on here today.

And some are still to this day saying it’s all a fuss over nothing and ‘just the flu’.
see my point about the steep Italian curve at the start due to incompetence.Italy’s first reported case was 6 days after France so it’s rubbish
Where's the data for your bullshit graph mate? Put up or shut upsee my point about the steep Italian curve at the start due to incompetence.
I read 13 days this morning.No, I heard the UK is a couple of weeks behind.
There is no evidence of thisI read 13 days this morning.
Try and check where .
Although the govt has been suggesting that it has been testing heavily there is anecdotal evidence arising that people who need to be tested aren't getting them .
That maybe because they've moved to testing in the wider community to grasp what the spread is .
Would that potentially disable the current count?

It's anecdotal cases reported to media of personal casesThere is no evidence of this

The best way of removing the virus from an infected person, total lick down.Is that part of the official advice?
Tbf this forum probably has a large proportion of young(ish) males. I too was invincible when i was 28 and then i got a life changing autoimmune condition just in time for my 30s, triggered by an unidentified viral (flu-lile) respiratory illness incidentally. Despite having had 6 major surgeries since, i have never felt as bad as i did when i had that flu-like illness. Changes your attitude a bit when things like that happen.FFS, public health crisis, people dying, inadequate government response, yet people on here just want to score points off each other? WTF!
Sounds like you had it rough mate - just shows how quickly our lives can be affected by something so seemingly trivial like a virus. Stay healthy.Tbf this forum probably has a large proportion of young(ish) males.

Bravado can go fuck.
Thanks. Probably TMI, but I see 20 year old me all over the place at the moment. I’d guess those that have had the full-on actual flu aren’t quite so casual about the whole thing. It isn’t very nice and I just think people need to take this seriously.Sounds like you had it rough mate - just shows how quickly our lives can be affected by something so seemingly trivial like a virus.

Wingy mate we have asked for the actual data behind this as it looks to be br complete bollocksBump
