Trump is very,very altruistic...For all the Trump admirers, he’s now trying to buy a German potential vaccine, but “for USA only”.
Thank you.My gut says bring in emergency laws to see people not kicked out of homes/gas turned off/etc. Keep schools open but with a clear work from home and keep the kids with you if you can message. Extend opening hours, cancel Ofsteds, offer wraparound that reduces demand on grandparents. Send kids with symptoms home. Cancel mass events. Helicopter in huge sums of money to industries/people effected. Requisition staff/beds from private hospitals and factories to make ventilators. Tax breaks to delivery/grocery companies to offer free delivery of food. Hope something turns up in the next couple of months that makes it more manageable. Isolate the vulnerable as much as possible.
Lockdown is coming. The question now is only how long we wait. Medically I’d do it right away. Economically I’d let the virus rip. The right answer IMO has to be to do everything we can that doesn’t have a dramatic economic effect rather than only doing things that have a dramatic medical effect.
Thank you.
I think economically we isolate those who need isolating and everyone else keeps calm and carries on and that will be different from other countries. Can you stand for election
The notion governments will provide the sort of financial support required if the economy grinds to a halt is for the birds
That makes sense
I think sadly with the pygmies currently in power in most places compared to 2008 you may well be right.
That makes sense
That’s why lockdown can’t be the answer
And by flattening the curve, delaying and giving more time to increase the numbers of ventilators, and safety equiptment, the nhs capacity will increase somewhat.It kinda misses the point. No one is disagreeing you need to flatten the curve. The argument is whether we are acting quickly enough and with enough force to flatten it enough.
If you take France and one sector - there’s 90,000 catering outlets - if you close them for a period it’s impossible to evaluate a suitable compensation package for each one. The logistics would be horrific and the cost impossible
Is that right about the children?
So if they need it to get about and you don't get it at big outdoor events it'll spread from the adults mostly in the home?
Conversely the kids won't give it to granny or grandad going home from school .
Out of the cases in China circa 2k cases were children with about 6-7 severe/critical .
According to the WHO they didn't or couldn't find evidence of a wider unreported outbreak beyond the reported cases .
Yet we had a' spokesperson ' who's wheeled out daily that 20% of population may have been infected.over there.
Just didn't get this at all. About as clear as mud.
That makes sense
The death rate among teenagers and younger is almost 0% and I don’t believe anyone under 10 has died yet. At my school children with significant underlying conditions have been pulled out by their parents and it is those I would want to be distanced.

The biggest issue with kids as far as I can see is the constant bickering when they’re in the house all day, fuck me this would sap anyone’s sanity
Interesting read but aside from closing schools will have limited effect doesn’t seem to really back up our plan and at one point describes it as “light in detail”.
For what it’s worth I think the plan, as badly communicated as it has been, is probably good. My only issue, as I said after the press conference the other night, is that it’s unorthodox as nobody else is doing if, will come under immense public pressure and won’t survive contact with reality (see football leagues taking their own action). It also will take balls of steel to see through. I think those comments have held up well.

I think the key point of the article is the emphasis on what individuals do as much as what governments do. The other point regarding banning mass gatherings not having much effect due to the need for prolonged contact for transmission has also been echoed here. I’m not saying we have a perfect plan, and we have definitely communicated it poorly in the last week. But I am on board with the strategy.

going by the numbers it seems that it doesn’t matter what you do, this thing is going to spread like wildfire whatever happens.
I mean catching itThis isn’t Ebola, here it is still just killing the very elderly and infirm.
It’s the one positive in this whole situation.
ps appreciate football is, quite rightly, down the list of priorities for most at the moment but has anyone mentioned the possibility of promoting those in automatics and no relegation (like they’re pretty much suggesting for prem but across all leagues) ? Then increased relegation places for end of next season. Could work as I don’t think there’s any games in hand issues with top spots across all leagues. Obviously this is assuming its not possible to complete season.

when the ‘lockdown’ comes over there it’s going to be eerie, over here it’s a very strange feeling, you can sense everyone is nervous, nobody about. It does genuinely feel like something out of a movie.
Back to an earlier post last night BSB you said it seems kids aren't big spreaders of it .This isn’t Ebola, here it is still just killing the very elderly and infirm.
My mate lives just outside Dublin and said they're now shutting the pubs where he is.
