COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Cheesy]

My neighbours are both in their 70's.

Currently they've got their daughter and son-in-law round with their three kids.

793 more deaths in Italy :(

It's not even a shock anymore. Italy are losing this fight.

BREAKINGAlmost 800 more dead in Italy


Deaths continue to spiral in Italy. Official figures show 793 have died of Covid-19 in the last 24 hours - another daily record.

In total 4,825 people have now died across the country.

More than 53,500 have been diagnosed with the virus nationally, up more than 6,500 since yesterday

Fcuking hell

How are the over 65's going to get food? If it is anything like here there is very little on the shelves so getting a decent amount to last isn't an option. The sub 18's is an interesting one. All our schools are closed here and the kids are certainly not staying indoors.

it was same with us. Schools are closed for 10 days, but weather is great and kids were out whole day. I trained with my kid outside few times. The logic is that they mix too much on playgrounds and can then transmit it to the older ones. I don't know about old ones and shopping tbh, guess they went that most have someone to do it for them, we still live a lot in our parents houses etc.

Anyone think all key workers pay should be doubled whilst there the ones having to carry on whilst everyone else is sat at home watching tv?

No.

It's not a good time to be venal and self-absorbed when so many are losing livelihoods and shitting themselves with every medical and economic turn.

Couldn't get through on the phone to 111.
Followed the advice and submitted questionaire answers to 111 online.
It said I probably had it and was given advice. Asside from managing symptoms, I was told to contact them immediately if symptoms got worse.
They didn't.
I am now very nearly better. The odd twinge in the lungs and kidneys but that's it

Good to hear back on path to health mate.

I would greatly fear one day a global decision to let a majority of the elderly and at risk people simply die.

A global decision? No. Each country has its own sovereignty. And you make this decision when you're absolutely sure can't save everyone in front of you, but you make it situation by situation. It's not an outlandish decision and it has to be made in some cases, but there won't be a global turn of backs on the elders and ill.

Absolutely tragic, and we are in danger of heading the same way if we are not careful.

Would any of you honestly go to a family meal with your nan and grandad , if they were all sensible, no touching, handshakes etc ?

No.
