COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlueAnorak]

Have you seen the rate of new infections in e.g. Singapore?

And BTW there's no way 10-15% of us are infected. Sure it's many times more than the 65,000 registered cases. But not 100x to 150x more.

The cheif scientific officer said somewhere between 30% and 50% of cases are asymptomatic.
There was a 50% finding from the study in Iceland and today 30% from a study in Germany.

If you go back (and I don’t blame you for not doing) earlier in this thread, I was outspoken in my criticism of the Govt’s delay in calling for a lockdown and their decision to allow sport to continue. I was labelled a a nervous Nancy and doomsayer.

I’m no happy clapper but I’ve come to the realisation that most of the U.K. population are wankers who refuse to do as they’re told at the best of times and thus the Govt. had to try and work out when was the best time to ensure that the majority abided by the lockdown.



No ones thrilled at the numbers dying, but as Gelson’s Dad has pointed out to you, if we get by with around 25,000 dying, then the Govt will have done a hell of a job and CV won’t have killed as many as three different Flu seasons have done in the last twenty years. The difference being that daily death totals weren’t broadcast to a waiting populace in those years.

The whole situation is shit. But you and me and everyone on this forum (other than Blueish Swede) and 4bn other people are living through similar lock downs and with similar fears. I’m a natural optimist and I’d rather look at the positives (were not going to see the 250,000 deaths that were once forecast) than dwell on the negatives. A Govt, has a responsibility to act in the interest of the country, a full, 24/7, troops on the streets, 3 month lock down would greatly reduce the CV19 deaths but the flip side would be tens (if not hundreds) of thousands dead through suicide, financial hardship and a flatlined economy. There’s a fine line that they have to tread and I’m very glad it’s not me making the decisions.

"Most of the UK population are wankers." Really? I find the opposite: it's a minority that flout the rules.

You are very fortunate. In my experience there are more knob heads than genuinely decent people in this country. Most people can count proper friends on one hand

Goes to show the virus doesn't just affect the lungs.
It's studies like this that make me think many scientists are barking

You don’t have to be mad to experiment here, but it helps.
