COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[gingerprince]

I think everyone's pretty clued up by now. I went out for my walk with the dog and people were crossing the street to avoid walking past each other, or stopping at a side street to let people through.

You can still enjoy the sun without breaking self-isolation.

It wouldnt surprise me if the daily fail has at least one picture of some party group enjoying the sunshine even its the only one in the country......

This out of Germany might change everything as well -

By Jove they may be on to something. It's only transmitted by eating jelly babies.

If they don't find one they’ll organise their own.

I don't know the answer to that but I do know that, should the social distancing measures that we've got in place now work and the NHS doesn't reach breaking point, then at the end of the year if you were to just look at the number of people who'd died in the year the figure wouldn't look that remarkable.

You’re quote right in that “if it works” and only 20,000 die then those numbers won’t be seem that remarkable. That’s why the powers that be are implementing them, to avoid 1/4m dead, and rightly so.

I found this article interesting about about Spanish numbers and it shows what happens when a health service is inundated though. It shows death figures for regions Spain are much higher than expected and only 1/3rd of the increase is officially noted down to Covid-19. That means that the lack of ICU beds is having a knock on effect and that perhaps 3x as many people are dying as a result of the situation, if not the virus directly. That’s what we are trying to avoid with social distancing.

Oh, I agree totally. I'm taking this shit very seriously as should every single person in the country.

Without the measures put in place the death toll really could have reached 250,000 and that sure as hell would have had a remarkable effect on the annual number of deaths.

It is a danger that people don't realise this.

What is it your point, what are you trying to say?

Same thing he says every day.

NHS England said the newly confirmed deaths were patients aged between 24 and 100-years-old, with 34 of the patients - aged between 27 and 92 - having no known underlying health conditions.

London has seen many more deaths than anywhere else but the Midlands is now catching up, with 150 deaths recorded in the new figures, while 161 were in London.

The next highest is the northwest, with 88 deaths, followed by the east of England with 66 and the northeast and Yorkshire with 62. The southeast of englandhad 41 and the southwest 36

Karen, she's making a speech from the comfort of her own home. Hardly going above and beyond.
I don't mind her either, she the last of what I'd class as proper royalty.

where do you expect her to be,she will be in isolation at her age! She is the queen and will want to reassure and rally the public,she doesn't have to do it,she wants to
