I think people lambasting our government would be well advised to hang fire just a bit. Let's see how this pans out. So far we are not Italy or Spain or France. If it turns out we are worse than everywhere else then fair enough ask questions and demand answers. But if it turns out we are no worse or even better than most places because the Government did the right thing at the right time, then they will deserve credit. At the moment people are understandably scared and the bottom line is no-one knows how best to respond to this, even the scientists don't agree, lets not assume everyone has a hidden agenda.

When I saw the numbers yesterday we are where Italy was 2 weeks ago on exactly the same trajectory. We could just continue and end up where they are in two weeks time....oh, wait, maybe not as we have half the intensive care beds per 100,000 than they do.

My breathing gone heavy through the night and woke up with a tight chest! Can’t take any chances with my asthma. Going to try and get tested today.

And the games off.

I posted it last night but the health auth. in Sweden is going out with a strong message that anyone with asthma should be taking their prevent medicine. Ask your doctor if that is what you should be doing as well.

Might test him as he has asthma and is therefore probably higher risk than many other people.

Personally don't see much point in testing people that aren't at risk. If you are fit and healthy, there's not much danger. Probably better just getting those people to self-isolate whether they have it or not, rather than risk them infecting more people going to the GP or hospital.

Unfortunately I suspect that self isolation will be given lip service by many of those who haven’t a confirmed diagnosis.

The first diagnosis of the woman at Wythenshawe hospital is the daughter of a fella from work. She had been on a skiing trip in northern Italy. There were 28 people in the chalet they stayed in and 18 of them caught it. Some of them are in a serious condition.
Whoever said there are no serious cases is full of shit.

Yes, that figures. There's all sorts of lies and manipulation or censoring of data going on I suspect.

Another weird one: Germany, France and Spain all have roughly the same number of cases each, but Germany has 9 critical, the others roughly 10 times that number.

What's different in Germany? How good, bad or indifferent their health service is compared to the others might affect the outcomes, but I cannot see how it would make much difference to how many people got seriously ill.

Are the Germans fibbing? Or perhaps they have a different strain? Might explain why so few deaths in Germany Vs other countries?
