COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Marvin]

This video from inside an Italian hospital might upset you but we need to see it.

There were signs that the number of new cases in Italy were stabilising but they increased today. Their measures are having some effect. We need more encouragement for the health workers.

Surely it must begin to moderate soon. If you look at China curve and the date when Wuhan went into lockdown, the number of new cases starts to fall after about ten days. That was one City though. In Italy we have different regions all at different stages in the epidemic.

People in the UK need to see this to prepare for what we will see here. We need to see Italy recover somewhat so that we know that when it hits here in its full force that the period of suffering will be brief.

Could be the case at times. I am not sure if it is with @Indaparkside

I'd stick my head out here Seb and point out that I think Inda is a decent bloke.

Not saying he isn’t, mate — I was saying I didn’t know if it was just a misunderstanding with @Indaparkside (basically I can’t speak for him) and he would have to say whether it was for him.

Good point mate.

And I’m sure my sister and step dad, who live with my mum, would have it by now if it was.

Yep that too. I’d have infected my entire office!

any financial bods on here?,,was wondering with the state of the economy and the risk of the pound becoming less valuable every day, if you say had 10k in cash would you be better buying a physical item such as a car to retain certain value

 

[Nellies left peg]

Are the British that much more idiotic than people on mainland Europe?
You don't necessarily need the army. Close all shops apart from food, close pubs, cinemas etc and the people you mention will have nowhere to go.

Agree there mate. If nowhere is open the dickhead can't go to these places. Like those Idiot brits on the news in Spain.

That's fair enough, I've all the time in the world for the lad so if he spoke up he had fair grounds.

Economy is fucked, hold onto your cash.
