The chief medical officer today said that worst-case up to 80% of the country could get it. With a mortality rate of just under 1%. Scary.

We'll see. But bear in mind that no "expert" is going to lowball their forecast on this because there is nothing to gain. If they underestimate they can never be "experts" again (doing a Michael Fish) but if they exaggerate and the actual figures are lower, they can acclaim the efficacy of the "precautions" taken as a result of their dire warnings.
Well yeh agreed, but you just have to look at the first weeks in italy where its currently 4 to 5 percent mortality rate. As soon as the NHS is saturated if nit already, that percentage will soar.

No mate, will happen the first week of the Easter hols for two weeks. Guaranteed.Schools in Rep of Ireland closed as of today. Just attended a meeting after school today...no closure yet but they are planning for the likelyhood of it...feeling is (but no one really knows) that it will be very likely to happen in about a week (country wide)... nothing concrete though

actually, the data from the Chinese studies make clear the infection rate and the mortality rate. The judgments aren’t statistical, they are about how you transpose Chinese infection rates to UK conditions. Italy however is likely to be much closer to home in terms of infection rates because the way they live their lives in northern Italy is not that different to the way we do.
but even if “only” 1 million get it, that’s still 10,000 dead.

By Bo Jo's own admission this is going to get a whole lot worse. Now I know I am a bear with very little brain but why are we not doing more to prevent the spread??

Bo Jo is a bear with a much much much littler brain
So you don't think it is a big risk to continue playing PL games with fans attending at present?It's not the Premier League's decision to make. If the government say it's not needed then why would they go against it?
Economy is the only important thing right now. Well, for certain types anyway.By Bo Jo's own admission this is going to get a whole lot worse. Now I know I am a bear with very little brain but why are we not doing more to prevent the spread??
