That’s one enjoyable theme I’ve read numerous times over the last few days, that also gives me faith we can beat this in our country. We have an incredible number of businesses rising to the challenge of sorting the ventilator problem.

I’ve read articles about GTech, Dyson etc etc.

Awesome work by all of these companies.
It’s brilliant saw a vacuum company that had switched to making ventilators in a matter of days, keeps their business going and helps out massively, some rich bloke is converting building two factories one here one in Germany to make a million bottles of sanitizer for free for the nhs! People really stepping upto the plate now, just get the selfish bastards to stay home to give them time to do it.
 
Half of "London" fucks off to the country at the weekend, so it should have been announced Friday not yesterday, hence why Cornwall Wales Lakes and Yorkshire filled up on Saturday and Sunday, last weekend so that damage has already been done sadly.
Saw a video of Fernandinho training today and he certainly isn’t in this country.
 
True, what can they do though? If they enforced a complete lockdown of London you’d probably still have thousands trying to leave which would then spread it further elsewhere.

If it could be policed than a complete lockdown there would probably be the best option.

Yeah, I said earlier that the London conundrum is a tough one to solve. A total lockdown would be difficult to police but might be the only answer.
 
Any advantage we had as an island was cancelled out as we just let anybody fly in from all over the world included 2,000 from the madrid hotspot for a CL game
Probably been mentioned already but Iceland is saying 7 of their cases picked it up at a football match in England. Lot of Liverpool fans in Iceland so could well have been that one.

Yep and the fucking cunts have taken the virus to small communities who can't cope.

Short article by doctors in Bergamo in the New England Journal of Medicine, might be interesting to read. Basically they repeat that we need a long-term plan for this kind of thing.
 
you never got tested?
No mate, am low risk, haven't been seriously bad, have agreed with family I'll go to the hospital if I've difficulty breathing at any stage. Health service have enough to deal with and I'm able to self isolate (own an empty house surrounded by family 2 of whom are nurses and can reassess as necessary).
 
I agree but clearly there are many times the number of confirmed cases. Say 500,000 people have it (that could be a huge underestimate) then the death rate is less than 0.1%.
It couldn't be that difficult, could it? Test ten random people at a tube station, test ten MPs, test ten blood donors (they're just asking the usual "do you feel well"), ten air crew, ten people in a town with few confirmed cases, ten in Brum, ten in Manchester, ten in Liverpool, ten in Ambridge (high risk as the pub is still open) - all obviously just sample jobs and places - and you'd have some clue as to prevalence.
 
France has become the fifth country to report more than 1,000 coronavirus-related deaths - as another 743 people died from the disease in Italy.

The death toll in France stands at 1,100, compared with 860 deaths yesterday - an increase of 240.

A French public health official also said there are 2,516 people needing life support.

Health officials and leaders also warned the world is now hitting the stage that will determine how badly each nation will be affected by COVID-19.

Countries in Europe and North America are pressing ahead with stay-at-home restrictions which affect 1.5 billion people worldwide.

WHO chiefs say there is still time to slow the spread of the virus.

The head of the organisation, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said we are "not helpless bystanders" and we can still "change the trajectory of this pandemic"

The virus has continued to surge in Spain, forcing a nationwide lockdown that has closed shops and bars and prevented more than 46 million people from leaving their homes

Germany, however, has indicated that its infection curve could have been flattened after it imposed its own social distancing measures.
 
My sister is an ambulance driver in Oldham, had large jump in cV19 cases today, one 49 year old guy with no underlying issues needed tube down throat to help him breath FFS
I heard somewhere it doesn't really effect people with no underlying issues
 
Temperatures higher than ever and I've been getting nosebleeds all day, which isn't a symptom, but chest better and have been out of bed more, swings and roundabouts but am good.
Sad to hear you are sick. You are my favourite poster on here. That is probably more sad.
