I doubt that mate. They’ve been in lockdown for a couple of weeks now. You would hope this next week would at least see a leveling out but preferably a reduction. It was going the right way the past couple of days so we’ll have to see what the rest of the week shows.The Italy numbers are awful
a minimum of 600 people are dying a day, possibly for the next 4 months.
it shows that numbers wise it might go down one day and then rapidly up the next
Yeah sorry i didnt mean you were wrong, just not correct for everybodyI got a text about not being able to go out for 12 weeks and a couple of others on here did too. Letters should come this week.
This “two metres” message is futile! We should be saying double figures and it will stamp more meaning on it.
“Stay twelve metres away from other people”.
Two metres makes it sound like a small threat and the dullards of society will not care. They’d think if they can be as close as two metres from someone “it can’t be that bad”!
So it turns out that before Mike Ashley was dragged kicking and screaming to close his doors, he hiked prices on the 'essential' exercise equipment by a significant amount.
It's the staff I'll feel for but he hasn't even got them on proper contracts.
I hope he struggles when we get out of this.
That’s a hell of a CFR given it takes 2-8 weeks to kill you and there are 55,000 plus not yet recovered.At least 6,820 people have died in Italy so far. There are at least 69,176 confirmed case of coronavirus in the country.
By their being unclear about risky things like going to work in London but clear about something not very risky (frankly of negligible risk relative to the worker issue). They've just said anyone can go to work so long as you stay 2m apart!Maybe you’d be good enough to devise a giant spreadsheet complete with complex algorithms, scoring every conceivable eventuality and setting them into rank order. Then, in column AZ, you can comment on how to implement your plan.
While you’re amusing yourself, the government can get on with trying to manage a fast-changing emergency.
Because when they announced their lockdown, people dispersed all over the place (just like us), they still continued and still continue to go out and about in crowds (just like us), they have the second largest elderly population in the world (they are 23%, UK is 18% so not far behind), they have families of different generations living together, somehow it seems to have got into and spread through care homes (we have a lot of care homes), they kiss to say hello to each other, their population have not been wearing masks and gloves like S.Koreans have (just like us)...
We will follow Italy’s trend and will have deaths like they have!
Well over their ICU capacity and this it’s very very bad for around 15-20% of the people who get a “serious” version.Why are Italy having it so bad
Oh I know that, so the spread must be far far bigger than that, but even based on the number of tests it show why people MUST comply.reported cases is pretty meaningless.
I tried it in Sainsburys last week. Nobody seemed bothered. Despite the abuse over my rational attitude to risks I've personally been far more cautious than most.Just been to my garage and found two masks, so when I have to pop out tomorrow to get the missus medicine I will be wearing one. It's going to feel odd and i will get some odd looks. But I think it's the right thing to do.
There was a video from Naples at the weekend where a number of people were all out and about at markets and through the streets.They have been in a form of lockdown for a couple of weeks. It wasn’t quite as strong as the one in places like China but they did close schools and bars, cinemas and gatherings etc. It’s been very different to the UK the past couple of weeks but not as stringent as they could have been.
Because they were one of the first European countries to be infected so they are ahead of other countries. That's the main reason. We will be where they are soon.Why are Italy having it so bad

I wore a mask and gloves it on the bus to and from work all last week, went to the supermarket on Friday and Sunday in them.Just been to my garage and found two masks, so when I have to pop out tomorrow to get the missus medicine I will be wearing one.

It’s better than nothing for someone who might be carrying the virus but doesn’t know it, in not spreading it around as much.Gloves yes
Builders Masks no use at all
