People (not aiming this at you!) seem to have a really hard time understanding mortality rates. Yes, the mortality rates are low in 20 or 30 year olds but they weren’t zero. And that’s just the % of people who died. A lot who survived will have ended up very unwell, even ventilated.
You are, and I cannot put too fine a point on this, a selfish moron.
It's not unreasonable but that's beside the point. The fact that China didn't totally self isolate from the rest of the world means that unless every other country decided to isolate China, the virus was going to end up everywhere. You basically only need one international airport to ultimately spread it everywhere.
I thank you for the empathy, but I'm curious about the 'shite'.
This is a good idea and something which I will start doing.
i was asked yesterday about a works night out 4th April. I mentioned the virus and the woman looked at me like i had 2 heads
This.
New symtom?
Use the phone and internet for social interaction, it's not as good as face to face but it's better than contributing to more people dying.
I've never done drugs, apart fom alcohol, and I doubt my Blu-Ray and DVD collection will keep me going for a year.
Tell us how you really feel about him
I spent a very happy evening with quite a few other selfish morons.
Injecting just one marijuana can keep you going for days.
That’s very sensible, good on you! The pub, however, is not sensible.
We are in the same boat. In short, there is no reason you should be particularly worried specifically because you are pregnant. There is nothing so far to suggest that a pregnant woman’s immune system makes them
I'm really not sure where you're going with the 'if I could opt out of NHS treatment' thing. It's not really the point. The issue is entirely the risk of you spreading it to one person who spreads it to etc.
Never heard of that website, I've just received the link from a friend. Anyway, it's not an editorial. There are quotes from various sources, such as The Guardian, The Times, WSJ and other scholars. Don't shoot the messenger.Please don't. The very first part... "Italy's fatal mistake was trusting the China regime.... and keeping its borders open with China". So they kept the borders open purely based on trust? Did China tell them to keep it open?

I do agree about the acting bit though, and I woudl expect more of the same from other China allies.
I am aware that there’s some distance between even being critical and dying but still surprised to see news like that. I think in Korea it was reported that vast majority did not need to be hospitalized even. It makes me feel uneasy to realize that I may get it someday, and it’s quite realistic that I will and when I get it, I may be worse than I’ve ever been in my life.
Yes you did, and as a result you've increased the chance people might catch it, that they'll get ill and ultimately they might die. Sorry, but that's the reality we're in.
Who cares how many other lives you put at risk eh.
To be serious for a second, I think we underestimate the toll isolation can have on someone. I've heard talk from a decent amount of people about now getting a pet as a way of breaking up the incoming isolation.
To be honest, I don't think ripping off a couple of famous speeches and throwing in a couple of meme-worthy soundbites while repeating the same things we've already heard is judging the mood of the country. It seems it struck a chord on here but speaking to other people and reading elsewhere it seems many agree with my opinion that it was cringeworthy and vapid.
I apologise for disengenously dismissing the valid need for social interaction as "needing a pint", it's a situation that hit too close to home though. My grandparents are currently still going down the pub every day with a similar attitude, and then going home and exposing themselves to my severely disabled cousins. Its frankly terrifying and I'm half the country away and cant do anything for them.
What a cnutish post.
Yeah, I guess that's fair about the markets. 60 minutes went to Wuhan about a week ago and they were still caging animals from different continents together.
fecking hell.
One of the valid criticisms of people who ignore government advice is that they could, themselves, place a burden on the NHS. Whilst I think the risk is overstated, at least for people in my circumsatnces, I accept it exists. The point is a hypothetical one, but I would happily trade off the the option of NHS treatment for Covid-19 in return for greater freedom to go about my life as normal. My risk of passing on the infection, assuming I follow guidelines on social distancing and hand washing, is very small (probably no greater in the pub than the supermarket).
Because if you get it it's not just you who might die, but your friends and family and their friends and family and so on.
It was a reply to a cnutish post, so what else would you expect?
I bet you would be crying for a resperator if the worst happened mate, karma would be a bitch.
We are not China allies by choice.Tell us how you really feel about him

Start with San Marino. It is they and not Italy that are the worst hit country in the world per capita. Italy is big and has areas less affected. San Marino is right in one of the shit zones.
