Yeah and it would be kept on increasing exponentially if lockdown wasn't put into place.that's a rate of over 230,000 a year, as
Horrible combo of things to be involved in.Just read about a holocaust survivor dying from Covid19. Fecking hell man, imagine surviving the holocaust and then dying from a virus never seen before. Talk about being unlucky.
Have you got the link?Wow - an 18 year old has now passed in the UK.
feck you Boris, you cnut.
in all seriousness, this thread is 400 pages old. There's been so many but flu comparisons that it's grinding now, and I think people need to be called out for it. I'll get a warning from Trump I guess.

Scary on one hand. Promising on the other. A lot of us could have had it, and not had any of the two UK official symptoms, and now have recovered with far greater immunity. If we were factored in, this would substantially slash the case fatality rate. That’s one possible miracle that gets out of this sooner than we anticipate.Thats the scary bit. Half the fecking population could have it, not know, and still transmit to others.
Attack the post not the poster, but i think the moderators should make an exception on this one.Moron.

I wrote before that the ciao ciao double cheek kiss (from unknown carriers) must also have been a huge reason for their higher numbers.People have to be able to get out for fresh air. So many Italians live in apartments. They must be going crazy.
Who said that? I'm stating facts not predictions. On average 600,000 people die every year in the UK. A lot of people that die of covid19 would be among the deaths this year without covid19. There would be an overlap, even Patrick Valance admitted this.650 people died In Italy alone today of it, that's a rate of over 230,000 a year, assuming it doesn't keep increasing
A very simplistic way of looking at it for sure, but somehow less simplistic than yours. You cant think that this is just a flu and will just disappear in a week or 2 and we'll just get back to normal
I should probably know this, but I wonder where the Manchester equivalent would be? Manchester Central/G-Mex?
"A makeshift hospital has been set up in a conference centre in the capital Madrid, a city that is bearing some of the highest infection rates.
The hospital will be fitted with 5,500 beds, making it the biggest facility of its kind in Europe. Its director, Antonio Zapatero, told El Mundo newspaper that 300 people will be move there this weekend.
Earlier we reported on new figures from Spain, which has now seen over 1,700 disease-related deaths since the coronavirus epidemic began."
From the BBC. Should say "moved". I see many articles on the bbc site have spelling mistakes or broken English.
Basically, we're fecked and took too long to act. Technically, all commercial activity hasn't stopped in the UK either. Some retail stores and coffee shops are still open.
Everyone who posts with this flu comparison doesn't realise that if we can turn this into another seasonal virus with the same yearly death rate, it will be a big win.650 people died In Italy alone today of it, that's a rate of over 230,000 a year, assuming it doesn't keep increasing

feck that's absolutely horrible.
Thanks for the vote of confidence! Hope all is well there, or at least getting better.Attack the post not the poster, but i think the moderators should make an exception on this one.
Gmex and the exhibition space near the Trafford Centre. Nec in Birmingham and Excel in LondonI should probably know this, but I wonder where the Manchester equivalent would be? Manchester Central/G-Mex?
How much overlap?Who said that? I'm stating facts not predictions. On average 600,000 people die every year in the UK. A lot of people that die of covid19 would be among the deaths this year without covid19. There would be an overlap, even Patrick Valance admitted this.
Luckily the supermarket i go to has a BM and poundstretcher just over from it so I can get pretty much everything in one sweep. Avoid going in the mornings at all cost, these seem to be peak times now and you're most vulnerable to be caught in crowds.I've found its still possible to get a full shop in if you are willing to compromise a bit on what you would usually get and try a different or more expensive version. More than enough stuff was in my local ASDA and Lidl to have plenty of meals for the week. Eggs were like gold dust but I can live without them.
not really given its population density, esp Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.New York having 12,000 new cases in a day is mental
now imagine if the flu could kill half a million people in a few weeks and we didn't have a vaccine28,000 people died from flu in 2014/15 in the UK alone. On average 17000 die on average every year in the UK from flu.
Of for sure there will be a lot of overlap, there will also be a lot of people who had other unrelated illnesses/injuries who will die unnecessarily because our health system is overloaded with Covid-19 patients due to the rapid infection rate and lack of vaccine/antiviral.It's still not comparable to the fluWho said that?

BBC.The latest figures for coronavirus-related deaths in England included a person as young as 18, the NHS says.
In total 37 people with the virus died today in England, all in vulnerable groups including with underlying conditions.
There were another seven in Wales, three in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland.
The demonstrations continue on a smaller scale than before, the census for the citizenship registry has apparently also been put on hold for now.Question to our Indian based posters:
How is Convid19 interrupting Modi's 'national ID' plans and the demonstrations against that?
'all in vulnerable groups including with underlying conditions ' is a very vague phrase.BBC.
Just watch how quickly all the senators who were in contact with Paul get tested.Rand Paul announces he has been diagnosed with coronavirus and is in quarantine

That is EXACTLY what is happening. They have a 'road map' which will be a quick but individual roll out of actions, increasing in severity every time.I don’t think that is it at all. Personally I think that the decision to lock the country down has already been made.
The government are implementing smaller steps over a longer period rather than a singular large jump in one go. Rightly or wrongly it’s being done to allow the country to digest the measures more easily.
Also when we do get the total lockdown (in the next couple of days imo) he can lay the blame for the drastic action on the people that didn’t listen to him initially and continued to ignore the governments requests.
Agree.That is EXACTLY what is happening. They have a 'road map' which will be a quick but individual roll out of actions, increasing in severity every time.
I just hope they allow UK nationals abroad home, as they have yet to instruct SOS to Brits abroad (my flight from Thailand is on 25th!)
From what I can see, and Im a labour supporter, I have sympathy for BJ and his Government. I think BJ has good people around him, and has a great instinct for reading the mood of the nation (eg his rise from London mayor to PM).
Whether we like it or not, there is a balancing act between human life and future security and prosperity. Every decision Government is faced with is 'kill 1 person to save 100'. Every decision he takes has any least 40% downside. Just has to take the least worst decision every time. And he may make mistakes, but I'll trust them as well meaning for now.
Electorate have to quickly get their hands around that.
Extraordinary times calls for extraordinary measuresI forgot to attack the post.
This worked for me for a while. Ours finally had to close today as it had almost completely empty shelves though.Just nipped to my local corner shop (about a 4 minute drive), got a 9 pack of bog roll and pack of spaghetti. Pretty well stocked. Cashier was wearing gloves.
Much better to go to these little shops as everyone seems to gravitate towards the hypermarkets.
I think being outside is ok as long as you're following the social distancing guidelines. In fact I have seen a lot more people out walking recently and there are health benefits to that.Watching the 6 pm news and the scenes from across the UK are so scary . Every park or garden is full of people , everyone's enjoying a nice sunny day . People really don't have a clue and England will soon have it worse than Italy
