Lol, and the rest mate. Rise of 200 when we are doing barely any testing. It’s zooming round, have no doubts about that.A rise of 200 ish? Seems to be increasing by around 35% each day? So my guess is an increase of almost 280 tomorrow and passing 1,000 in total. Will be roughly 5k next weekend
This whole thing is fucking exhausting. I work in telecoms and i have wall 2 wall meetings for the foreseeable future in providing emergency at home solutions to large corporations that were too slow to plan ahead.
Absolutely
Many sectors and industries will feel this massively. Rightly or wrongly there is mass panic and the hospitality/aviation industries will feel this for a long long time.
Small to medium size independent business will need some central support.
Good time to invest in some shares though!

Agreed. And at that rate it will be roughly 40k the weekend after, 320k the weekend after that, and then we're into the millions. The peak is currently coming a hell of a lot faster than the government suggested yesterday.A rise of 200 ish? Seems to be increasing by around 35% each day?

I'm sure every country has had to cope with bad decisions made by their government, but reading comparisons to nazis is always a bit ridiculous. I know you weren't serious in your comparison eh, and I replied in a similar joking tone.To be fair uffa you may hold up the government of the UK as being a descent and relatively stable example compared to some of those suffered by other European countries have had to endure. Do not however for one moment the depths those in power of this great nation have been prepared to stoop from time to time, even over the last few decades.

We're doing more testing than most apparently according to a post on the previous page. According to that we're actually in the top 6 world-wide.
How are they protecting the old?I think they want as many people as possible to get it, and thus get immunity, whilst protecting the old. They want to manage the epidemic. They don't think it's possible to wipe it out
Well you’re not doing a great job of cheering Peter Reid up.Agreed. And at that rate it will be roughly 40k the weekend after, 320k the weekend after that, and then we're into the millions. The peak is currently coming a hell of a lot faster than the government suggested yesterday.

Karl Heinz:-Always a quality game when someone responds to a tweet this way as I don't see the tweets at work, but usually I can guess, however on this subject there seems to far too many to chose from so I'll have to check the thread later from my phone to see the context.
“At the end of the day, it is about finances and a high payment of the TV broadcaster to the clubs that is still outstanding. If this payment was not received, many clubs would face financial problems. That is why I think it is right that the matchday will take place under these conditions. ”

How come our deaths have stayed so low? No new deaths reported in last 24 hours?
Killing them of to protect them from the winter flu that’ll come later in the year.How are they protecting the old?

It will effect a huge percentage of the population, our government want exactly that.
How may it kills, and most will be elderly, is what really matters and the fact is it has little impact on the economy if we just let people carry on regardless is the real debate with this virus.
Is it humane to allow say, and I’m speculating, 500,000 elderly and people with present health issues die? Is that okay?

A doctor has described the last moments of coronavirus patients, saying they remain lucid until the end and ask to talk to their loved ones by phone as they realise they are dying.
Doctor Francesca Cortellaro, from the San Carlo Borromeo hospital in Milan, is one of many medical staff in Italy to speak candidly about their struggle with coronavirus.

Reading that makes what we are doing is madness,we are trying to get 60% of the population sick and expecting the NHS to cope with that onslaught

Germany has 5 times more reported cases and less deaths. A few other countries also have more cases and less deaths.
We need to just take it on the chin Karen, apparently.A doctor has described the last moments of coronavirus patients, saying they remain lucid until the end and ask to talk to their loved ones by phone as they realise they are dying.
Doctor Francesca Cortellaro, from the San Carlo Borromeo hospital in Milan, is one of many medical staff in Italy to speak candidly about their struggle with coronavirus.
Many have shared harrowing tales and photos of exhausting shifts - and of the toll the battle is taking. One has likened the virus to an earthquake.
Dr Cortellaro told Italian newspaper Il Giornale: "You know what's most dramatic? Seeing patients dying alone, listening to them as they beg you to say goodbye to their children and grandchildren.
Italy has seen the worst coronavirus outbreak outside of China, with more than 800 deaths and the total number of people infected with COVID-19 standing at 12,462. Many of those who die are elderly patients.
"They are lucid, they do not go into narcolepsy. It is as if they were drowning, but with time to understand it," he said
A doctor in the town's Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital, Roberto Cosentini, has likened Lombardy to the "epicentre of a never-ending earthquake".
He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica that the majority of patients arrive at the hospital in the afternoon, and are often in such bad condition they need to be intubated or attached to a ventilator right away.
"Every afternoon, it's like a new tremor, and hospitals are overwhelmed," he said.
"If we can't find more hospital beds, more doctors, more nurses, we won't be able to hold out for long

I think you are absolutely right. The bad news is its spreading uncontrolled, but the good news is we are probably only testing really quite poorly people for the most part, and the ones with no or mild symptoms are the vast 'missing' figure. I think I'm correct in saying the general fatality rate in China was 1%, so no reason to assume different here? If so the death rate probably indicates 1% of the infected a couple of weeks ago.Lol, and the rest mate. Rise of 200 when we are doing barely any testing. It’s zooming round, have no doubts about that.

Mate, I would pay absolutely zero attention to those figures.A rise of 200 ish? Seems to be increasing by around 35% each day? So my guess is an increase of almost 280 tomorrow and passing 1,000 in total. Will be roughly 5k next weekend
600 confirmed cases as of yesterday and 20 of them work in the Premier League and 4 are MPs? Absolutely no chance.
The real cases will be in the tens of thousands already, without question.
This 600 figure is clearly being pushed so that people go about their normal business without alarm.

The irony is, that bell curve the CMO presented yesterday as his justification for carrying on as normal and not banning mass gatherings, is the exact same bell curve that Barack Obama tweeted last night to JUSTIFY the banning of mass gatherings.
As I said earlier, their only justification for not implementing a lock down right now is that they've read a behavioural science report that says if you isolate people too early, they'll get bored. That's not good enough for me.
That's the bit that has been confusing me about the reasoning for the UK strategy.
I can understand the logic presented by the Obama graph but couldn't get my head around the logic showing the same graph with an opposite approach.

I’m trying to cling to this as a positive, am I wrong?Germany has 5 times more reported cases and less deaths. A few other countries also have more cases and less deaths.
