COVID-19 — Coronavirus

I compared Germany to France and Spain. You might expect some difference in the rate of critical cases, but 10x? Seems odd to me.

Critical cases are defined subjectively, which could explain at least part of the difference.

I sat next to Pestilence at Wembley and she has it!

Oh i agree mate, definitely seems odd, maybe it's down to the way they decide what's critical or not.

As an aside, Kay Burley is totally embarrassing herself this morning at Downing St. shouting to everyone walking in to number 10 "have you been tested yesterday?" stop shouting you crank.

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.

You’ll be fine once it warms up a bit.

It’s too early to look at figures like that.

Germany has a similar sized elderly population to Italy but they probably live in different demographic clusters than in those rural Italian towns and villages where it’s rife.

But within another six weeks when the virus is more widespread across all kinds of areas, I bet the figures will mirror what the world’s largest elderly populations are in ratio to deaths:
Japan
Italy
Portugal
Germany
Finland
..are the top 5.

Harsh but probably fair under the circumstances..... Just waiting for @Indaparkside to join in now....haha

that’s a bloody good question mate! I’ve got quite a bit of family in the laundry region and they are starting to panic. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head haven’t gone there many times in the past is that the Italians are far more touchy-feely people than the Northern Europeans. It was always one thing I used to dread going there was the amount of people that you had to kiss, not much science behind that at all though...

surely they all understand the importance of regular washing?

Just keep yourself topped up with alcohol, it's a miracle drug that kills everything.
