COVID-19 — Coronavirus

110% that is one of the reasons the figures are lower. I'm an otherwise fit bloke in my mid 20s, other people may be suffering worse symptoms. In fairness, I'm pretty sure I've not got the coronavirus, the GP would not swab me. He left it up to me to decide whether to self-isolate, think I will be going back to work tomorrow or Friday.

If you have been told to self isolate for two weeks then why aren’t you doing just that?

Just had a message from my football club that the football teams in the Valencia community at all levels (don't know about Valencia CF) have been suspended from playing and training.

It's not gonna be long before Spain is on full lock down.

Why would chippy pick an average death rate or a lower one when he can pick the worst !?

Because Italy’s a European country with a similar health structure although they do have twice as many ICU beds per 100,000 than the U.K. and their over 65 demographic is also similar although slightly higher (25% vs 18%).

What about them? Nursing dying elderly people isn't great. I had to do it with my Dad at home at the end of last year.

And I did last month with mine but that’s got fuck all to do with his point and what they’re describing in terms of what’s going on in Northern Italian hospitals.

Do you know how utterly f*cked we'd be if everyone had your attitude

An attitude of trying as best we can to way our hands limit contact and get on with our lives? Really?? Mate I have never said this wasn't serious , I have never said nothing should be done. In fact the opposite I would have ceased flights from.the worst affected areas days or weeks ago.

I have just looked at the likelyhood of the vast majority of people coming through this and thought that it isn't going to be as bad as some on here are making it out to be.

That's my opinion and I'm perfectly entitled to it. Just as you are to yours.

Perhaps we should all go into self isolation for 6 weeks should we? And then come out of it in total economic ruin as a country. Because make no mistake that is what woudl happen.
