That's fine for a small island nation. They might be able to afford a policy of waiting for the world to reach a herd immunity around them.Well obviously the will.keep the monitoring until the disease has reduced sufficiently globally. Of course it may be months even a year. It is absolutely the right thing to do, first responsibility of a country is to ensure safety of its people.
Hopefully they have well defined policies in place and disseminated to locations beyond hospitals. The US has fecked this up big time, if there's one lesson from us, it's to avoid the outcome of the Washington state old folks home. I'm not confident the UK has learned.I don't know, mate.
That'll be decided by the NHS policy on such things. I don't think they've been published it n the same way that they have done their public guidance.
Isolation for over 70s has been proposed this morning, so I'd imagine something along those line.
That's my only concern, I'm more worried about catching it and giving it to someone more vulnerable.Haven't we been misguided by the government wholly?
If people have died who are not in the high risk groups. Even catching this and giving it to someone is dangerous enough.
My brother seems to not give a feck he's still going out and about. My mums just gone to church. I've just messaged both to tell them to come home.
I'm just trying to be cautious.
Good post. There's some very good context here.Testing gives an initial view on the picture. We've seen how Italy took off first, then Spain, and France third. When you have in France 10-15k tested with 4500 positive cases and 80 dead and UK has ~30k tested with 800 cases and 10 dead you can see the countries are in different stages. Spain Italy France have called lockdowns on around 100-200 dead. Whatever UK do, we're not there yet as it happens to even copy Europe, 2-4 weeks off.
After that it's about testing the people in serious condition. When you have populations of 10s of millions, 50k testing, 120k testing it doesn't equate to much and testing 500k is a huge manpower undertaking and contamination risk, waste of time for those doing the lab testing. Attention and testing needs to be on the people who come in the hospital and those who are trying treat the patients. You have to be retested and be safe to treat people. There's no point taking peoples results if they have mild symptoms now.

Maybe it’s because that part of the world has been subjected to viruses of a similar nature beforeAm I correct in thinking that countries like Japan and South Korea are generally more germaphobic than we are in the West? You tend to see pictures of people from those countries wearing face masks a lot. I'm wondering if this could contribute to their better control of this virus so far.
People are blissfully unaware of the grave situation we're all in. A part of me wished I was the same. Life would be much simpler. For what it's worth, my brother and mum are exactly the same. Not a single feck given.Haven't we been misguided by the government wholly?

But there is no other way to protect their most vulnerable. And the longer it takes, the more time for a collective effort to develop a vaccine / medicine that can reduce severity of the symptoms.That's fine for a small island nation. They might be able to afford a policy of waiting for the world to reach a herd immunity around them.
It's not feasible for larger countries.
And let's be honest. Once 70% of the world catches it, the chances are that somebody at point in the future will slip through and bring the disease to them. Then they'll have to go into lockdown again.
I thought that. Going forward over here I think if it happened again we'd be much better at taking it seriously on an individual level.Maybe it’s because that part of the world has been subjected to viruses of a similar nature before
I'm itching to go to work tomorrow to start my new job because I've been off for 2.5 months. I had some mild symptoms including a bit of a sore throat and temperate yesterday which disappeared this morning and I thought if this develops(which it has not as I feel good after 1 day) I won't be going in.That's my only concern, I more worried about catching it and giving it to someone more vulnerable.
Yes......and maybe we won’t buy all the shitter roll next timeI thought that. Going forward over here I think if it happened again we'd be much better at taking it seriously on an individual level.
It certainly has. My daughter lives in London. Today she went to her local supermarket with her 4 children. There was a massive que at 11am.Coronavirus: Supermarkets ask shoppers to be 'considerate' and stop stockpiling

What were they expecting from a me,me,me ,i'm alright jack society. This virus bought out the worse in people.
My colleague was pretty critical of his home nation and, in China, masks are worn to protect against pollution.Am I correct in thinking that countries like Japan and South Korea are generally more germaphobic than we are in the West? You tend to see pictures of people from those countries wearing face masks a lot. I'm wondering if this could contribute to their better control of this virus so far.
their dicks are cleanI see all the time people who just piss and walk out of public toilets without washing hands. No chance are they washing their hands more the filthy bastards
Should be obvious I'm talking about different countries, not Greece or Norway.Greece is on lock down with 4 dead.
Decent article hereI thought that. Going forward over here I think if it happened again we'd be much better at taking it seriously on an individual level.
As I've become more Americanized this is one of the things that grosses me out the most about the UK.I see all the time people who just piss and walk out of public toilets without washing hands. No chance are they washing their hands more the filthy bastards
Really? Do you have a link buddy?They've (The Moroccan foreign ministry) just said that all international flights have been suspended. Hopefully because it's them making the decision, you'll get your money back.
Absolutely no chance, it'll be even worse much quicker.Yes......and maybe we won’t buy all the shitter roll next time

A few years ago I was waiting outside the cubicles to drop a shite when some fella opened the door and walked out. He was in there pissing all over the toilet seat so I grabbed him back and made him clean it before I used it.I see all the time people who just piss and walk out of public toilets without washing hands. No chance are they washing their hands more the filthy bastards
YupThe goal is to treat people that absolutely need it, not get accurate data/numbers. In most countries If you start wide testing, you spread the means when the vast majority of people don't need any medical attention.
That’s disgusting behavior! I’m wondering how long this will go before society starts to break down into fights and anarchyIt certainly has. My daughter lives in London. Today she went to her local supermarket with her 4 children. There was a massive que at 11am.
When she got inside, there were no trolleys or baskets so she put a few items in her children's hands to carry.
Within a few minutes, people had snatched the things from her children's hands ( they are 7 and 6 years old by the way).
When she confronted the people, she was verbally abused and pushed away.
I sincerely hope that those 'people' were proud of their despicable behaviour.
Yeah the hygiene in British public toilets is shocking.As I've become more Americanized this is one of the things that grosses me out the most about the UK.
I'm not convinced most UK toilets are set up well for this. No paper towels means you have to touch things like taps and doors after the washing.
Do either of you have any common sense?Misses is supposed to be flying to South Africa on the 19th, how likely is that to happen?
How do you know that?their dicks are clean
Well I'm not going, she's insistent she is for good reason. So to answer your patronising question, yes, and well aware of risk.Do either of you have any common sense?
Cheers. SARS must have been terrifying.Decent article here

They were well prepared and took it seriously from the start.
