Hopefully he will and good riddance.We probably need someone like him to drop dead with the virus for right wingers to open their eyes. Even then they will still see it as a conspiracy.

Which bit are you referring to of my replay? The endangering element or the SSP?The problem is the company are using the fact it says
Yes, it's not exclusive to this virus, it can happen at any time without Covid-19 is my point. I think it's important for young people to take precautions and respect social distancing but I don't think that worrying about it has much value. The real danger is passing it on to someone more vulnerable.Isn’t this basically the danger of this virus? It causes severe pneumonia.

Yeah pretty much. Severe viral pneumonia.Isn’t this basically the danger of this virus? It causes severe pneumonia.
Absolutely disgusted by the number of people walking to the shops when I when drove to one earlier.Absolutely disgusted by the number of cars and people out and about when I walked to the shop earlier.
Agreed. I have been 'social distancing' for the last two weeks and I'm not really finding it that difficult to be honest. Of course I hope I'll be able to travel to Manchester for football in October/November this year again, that I'll be able to go to a pub with mates and watch football, or that basketball will be back so I can lose my sleep to watch playoffs but the current situation is not that difficult. There is still so much to do at home, I still get to walk my dog which is at least 1.5 hours activity per day, working from home has allowed me to be much more creative and productive than I am in the office with the whole team around me and I am one of the lucky ones who is still bringing home income despite not going to my workplace which I have to appreciate. I'm really more concerned about other people than myself and will try to help wherever I can, but I've chosen to help dog shelters for now because they are extremely screwed with lack of funding and lack of donations, and government is not going to help them.Yes, it's not exclusive to this virus, it can happen at any time without Covid-19 is my point.

It probably didn't help that the media laboured the point so constantly that "old" people are most at risk.People who are assuming that this will affect only very old people are just being naive. It is going to affect all.
And there are many youngsters (<40) who have different illness related to obesity, undergoing treatments of different kinds including mild cancer and all. All of them are in the so called vulnerable list.
I think it's that wide testing from the outset has allowed them to get in front of the disease. They're finding people with milder symptoms but also those at an earlier stage which are yet to impact the number of deaths. They also have relatively shit hot coverage when it comes to ICU availability.It's hard to keep up with this thread moving so quickly... has any explanation been given why Germany's deaths/cases ratio is so incredibly low?
Is it how they classify the deaths or is it that they are testing very widely and recording even people with mild symptoms? Or something else I haven't thought of?
As a dog lover that's a shame. Might check the dog shelters round here, see if they need donations etc.but I've chosen to help dog shelters for now because they are extremely screwed with lack of funding and lack of donations, and government is not going to help them.
Are there any estimates how many people have had it in total in Lombardia and in italy? Are they 5%/10%/20%40% through the whole epidemia (in numbers, not time)Data models in Italy have put the R0 as high as 5.6 in late February when the virus was circulating unchecked, and it's currently estimated to be around 1.3-1.5 based on cases confirmed yesterday i.e cases acquired a week ago.
I'm not sure if this is a serious post or not.Absolutely disgusted by the number of cars and people out and about when I walked to the shop earlier.
They test way more than other countries. Specifically more young people and people with mild symptoms. Average age of people tested in Germany is ~45, in Italy and the UK it is ~65. Germany's death rate is therefore much more accurate. But probably still way off as the true number of infections is higher in reality.It's hard to keep up with this thread moving so quickly... has any explanation been given why Germany's deaths/cases ratio is so incredibly low?

The shops were empty, people weren't going there. They were just fecking about in the park having a whale of a time.I'm not sure if this is a serious post or not.

Ok, sorry not trying to sound facetious but what are you after from them? To close down the workplace? They're a school so they should have some elements of essential work to them, especially if there are kids of essential workers.The part I quoted from link you provided.
To exercise on their own.People are allowed to go to the park.
We have right wing politician in Poland arguing that all of covid-19 deaths would have happened within 1 month regardless. Beat that.1 in 20 in the most vulnerable group that covid19 affects would have died within 1 year regardless of covid19. So of that 1.5 million, that's 75,000. I'm using the 1.5 million that the government sent the letter to telling them to stay in for 3 weeks.

Yep, was just around in my local park for a quick run and used the grass, not the paths but there’s still droves of kids bunches kicking footballs around the place and riding bikes together. Some parents are treating this thing like a holiday.To exercise on their own.
Not to sit on benches, not to play football, not to lie on the grass.
I was talking about this with a friend who is high up at one of the big insurers. He says the exposure is less than people think because they have unders and overs in different areas. Health and life insurance will get hit hard, but there will be a lot less accidents, thefts and other such events due to the lockdowns.That would be enough to crash the mortgage/life insurance market surely? Especially if the fatality rate is higher as it is closer to 40
I'm not sure what you mean. The head of the public response said yesterday they estimate there may be 10x more cases than they know about in Italy. The numbers in the last 3 days have shown mild improvement but even if it holds, it's still very much at the top of the peak rather than coming down the other side.Are there any estimates how many people have had it in total in Lombardia and in italy?

That was my first thought. Worrying if she doesn't!I will bet that in her autopsy it's found she had some unknown underlying condition. Still, sad news and RIP.
They theoretically can. In a perfect world they should. It would be impossible to control though.Why can't kids from one household kick a football for an hour?
I agree the new balls are light as feck but you can work on your close control and get better.They theoretically can. In a perfect world they should. It would be impossible to control though.
There's some really odd lines in that BBC article.1 in 20 in the most vulnerable group that covid19 affects would have died within 1 year regardless of covid19. So of that 1.5 million, that's 75,000.

I've long advocated a return to the old Mitre balls.I agree the new balls are light as feck but you can work on your close control and get better.
No paedophile rape/jokes before anyone thinks of posting any.Prince Charles is in Aberdeen Castle isolated with Corvid-19. Andrew is in isolation at Balmoral with Charlotte-13.
I had the official Premier League matchball from Mitre in 1997 or 1998. Best football I've ever used.I've long advocated a return to the old Mitre balls.
They presumably cause brain damage but we had none of this 'hitting the valve' nonsense.
So, there are 30.700 cases in Lombardy. Let's say real number is 20x bigger=600k. 10M people in Lombardy, so that makes 6%. Let's say in the end 30% of people will get it this year. So 5 times more infections to come. Some calculations like this, don't think about my actual numbers too much.I was talking about this with a friend who is high up at one of the big insurers.
