Mrs is in bed aching and has a bad headache says it feels like her head is in a vice. Had to stay off work to look after the kids, she's not been outside for a week. Hoping it is something else will have to monitor her.
Agreed but it's not as bad as infecting 3 people. The numbers of people 1 infected person passes it on to is called R0 and for COVID-19, it is estimated R0 is between 2.0 and 2.5. Of course it depends upon what social distancing is being done. You pack 1 infected person into a crowded tube train coughing their guts up and R0 is probably 10+ for that unfortunate group. Across the populations it's running at between 2.0 and 2.5. We need to get it down to less than 1.0 asap.Just checked the intensive care specialist's numbers not because I thought he was wrong but because I like messing around in excel.
When you pass flu on, you on average infect 1.3 people. They then pass it on, at this point 1.69 people have been infected.
Now he said on average with covid 19 you infect 3 people. Now this doesn't look too bad. 3 vs 1.3 does it. But when those three pass it on you have 9 infected as opposed to 1.69. Significant.
Go through 10 stages and it's ridiculous.
Flu: 14 people infected
Covid 19: 60,000 infected
Mind boggling.

Lots of Spain hasn’t been hit too bad but if he was in Madrid or the Basque then that is madness.
Personally all flights would be grounded and anyone that’s been on a flight should be self isolating for 14 days
Most companies don't give a shit mate. One woman here came back from Tenerife on a saturday and she was in work on the Monday... Not a thing said. It's really beginning to annoy me now.
Sorry to hear that pal hope things improve stay safeMrs is in bed aching and has a bad headache says it feels like her head is in a vice. Had to stay off work to look after the kids, she's not been outside for a week. Hoping it is something else will have to monitor her.
Fair play to Piers Morgan, I don't always agree with him - but he is going in hard on Hancock and the government.
Just been for a run the streets are dead a few dog walkers and people walking all in twos and being sensible . Completely different to yesterday
