COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Vic]

They’ve been training in the nhs control this week for major incident, possibly to be declared next week country wide, this will unlock lots of things at the governments disposal.

What would declaring a major incident unlock that's being kept back now?

Anyone else fed up with pointless posts in the thread about pubs rather than about what Taiwan said?

You rebel.

I would think releasing the army more, maybe in support of the police, cancelling leave of emergency services! I don’t really know mate.

He likes a pub tale does GDM.

Ok but the next BM fight is me and @Indaparkside I believe. So you wait your turn. It’s gonna be tricky as we like each other now.

I’ll put you on the undercard, along with Vic and ban-jani.

Apologies, that was my fault. Let’s get back to the matter in hand i.e. trying to politicise this thread.

Ridiculous scenes on London Underground being played on loop on TV during interview with Jenrick.

Any ideas as to why there's only 135 in the 'Recovered' column for the UK on Worldometers site, it's been like that for at least a couple of days or so now?

USA is in for a torrid time, mate. Been there loads of times and love the place and nearly all the people I’ve met there. Not going to be pretty viewing, I fear.

Remember they have 5 or 6 times the population of the UK, Italy, France, Spain. 4 times that of Germany.

So their figures could be considered in that context. If you added the above countries' death together and compared to the US, that probably a reasonable comparison.

That figure seems to be meaningless, doesn't it? I suppose anyone who tests positive and doesn't need hospital isn't tracked, so it can't be updated helpfully.

even trump was grave serious tonight.

he must of realised he`s only going to pocket half as much as he thought from the release of $2 trillion he got passed

Yes, I`m a bit of a cynic.

My mum said the same to me last night, she said younger people will need it so if I have to have one don’t let them use it on me. She has lost half a lung has asthma and just recovered from cancer!
Spent all her life in nursing, amazing woman.

Makes you well up when you here that my mum would have been the same, glad in away she’s not here to see this she would have been terrified. Look after her then when this blows over you will still have her in your life good luck to all

Some guy called Matt just been on GMTV discussing surviving the virus, he is the one who appears to have picked it up at the league cup final, which he mentioned in his interview.

So their figures could be considered in that context. If you added the above countries' death together and compared to the US, that probably a reasonable comparison.

If they get everything perfect then 100,000 to 240,000.

If they don’t handle it well, 1.5m to 2.2m deaths.

According to their models they spoke of last night. I doubt Uk, France, Germany et al will get near those figures as a group.

If you read further down the article it says a 12 year old girl died as well from the virus. Wasn’t to worried about my daughter due to believing it was leaving that age group alone now we know it can affect everyone
