COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[Vic]

A really good watch and the paper the info is referenced from is the New England Medical Journal so a very well respected source.

I thought I'd posted the link yesterday but maybe not.

There are all sorts of implications. You walk where someone has coughed and it may be on soles of shoes when you get home or in the car.

Take shoes off at the door.

Or biosecurity like at farms with disinfectant trays (or don't leave the house).

It may not have survived on the ground or easily transfer to other surfaces but how would you know?

Seems we're getting a serious one then as it's out of sync with the other press conferences.

He’s been in the Cobra meeting.

When the doubling of the death rate hits 3 days, ie 33% increase per day, the pandemic is deemed out of control.

I've got bad news for you mate. +26% = doubling every 3 days. Not +33%

1.26 after 1 day
1.58 after 2 days
2.00 after 3 days

The world (excluding China) is running at +18% at the moment and has been for a couple of weeks or so.

Got to be a lockdown surely

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

We are going into lockdown by the looks of it?

 

[Don Karleone]

When the country is locked down, will I still be able to go and get food and supplies?

We don't get paid PIP/carers allowance until Thursday so haven't been able to do our usual shop yet.
