COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[kaz7]

I can’t find the article now but it was saying that the younger people in their population have not been socially distancing or even isolating if they have it.

But here people of all ages are not socially distancing. People of all ages don’t seem to give a shit here, not just the young who don’t know any better.

We would still be going to mass gatherings like football if boris had his way,i fear we have behing the curve all of the way,i know its mega difficult for everyone running their country and they have to be guided by their experts

Mods. Is this kind of post allowed before the watershed?

Girlbob has gone all feral

 

[mackenzie]

it's a collective effort and it's an example for all to follow.

Absolutely!

Have they announced the new figures for confirmed cases today.

 

[kaz7]

I imagine Labour would have done just the same. After all they are not averse to public spending.

They would be all be sat rocking backwards and fowards

Have they announced the new figures for confirmed cases today.

The number of people who have died in the UK after contracting coronavirus has risen to 177 after England saw 39 more deaths - the biggest rise in a day.

It comes after a third person - a 71-year-old with underlying health conditions - died in Wales after contracting COVID-19, according to authorities there on Friday morning.


Northern Ireland also confirmed testing there had resulted in nine new positive cases, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in Northern Ireland to 86.

As of 9am on Friday, 3,983 had tested positive for COVID-19 across the country.

What’s more social-distantly acceptable... a mullet or a shit attempt at cutting your own hair?

 

[Tim of the Oak]

Tell everyone you know.

stay in as much as possible.
Isolate.
And don’t be a selfish ****.

I’ve heard from friends in Bergamo just now. The situation is very grim and Italian friend were imploring us Brits to take the virus very seriously.

I shave my own head.

It’s so liberating and I recommend to anyone.

It doesn't matter at this point, this is war time shit - we need to get people through the next 6-12 months. The knock on problems can be worried about once we are over the hump.

I agree this is like a war. I hope the Govt have given some thought as to how they will handle things going forward but clearly time to ponder that is limited.

So basically, it took Tim Idiot Wetherspoon to say "it's alright folks" before the government realised that compulsion was needed...

Whatever it took let’s be just glad it’s sorted. A week late mind

 

[BobKowalski]

Not for this thread Bob, but none of this changes the fact that things like this are not affordable on any sustainable basis. Exceptional circumstances call for exceptional measures. That's what we are seeing.

Agreed but just as the wartime emergency shifted the debate it will be interesting to see how this emergency shifts the debate. Emergencies make you adopt measures you would never ordinarily dream of doing and if you do them once they are easier to do again albeit on a lesser scale once the emergency has abated.

Anyway a debate for a different time.

It’s 12 months of social distancing: 2metres away from each other, no touching, washing hands regularly, isolating if you show symptoms... not 12 months of lockdown!

Actually the thing i quote included that the vulnerable groups would probably need to stay in isolation. Obviously not anyone in your family so hey it's ok. Thanks for the exclamation mark.

In reality cases and deaths outside London have fallen. London has gone up though and is still on track for Lombary levels.
As a result though overall, statistically, new cases and deaths have platoed.
20/03 714 new cases and 33 more deaths
19/03 643 new cases and 40 more deaths
18/03 676 new cases and 33 more deaths
17/03 407 new cases and 16 more deaths

We certainly dont need a curfew outside London, but in London, that's probably a different story.

63% of Italy deaths in Lombardy. Hopefully London doesn’t become our Lombardy.

Lombardy or London makes no difference to me mate. It’s grim regardless of the geography.
