Thousands of Spanish football fans currently in Liverpool. Why on earth have they been allowed here???

people also getting off flights from Italy and not being tested

Yeah and as anfield will be full of irish, north welsh, swedish, norwegians, woollybacks, and many more out of towners, this game could spread the virus to more places than a coach party from Italy

This is the first time i've seen a post which examines the problem of the death rate statistics logically. I've been wanting to post something similar but holding back because there are a couple of posters who will jump on it.
The fact is that the average age of those who die in Italy is 81 and they almost all have more than one underlying health problem. They may well have died from any viral infection and gone un noticed but because it's COVID they are now a statistic of interest. As I posted earlier, old people die. If it's not one thing it's another. Only by comparing total death rates would you know if this is having a significant impact and i've been unable to find any Statistics is far.

I’m guessing the Italian authorities may have some idea about that and one can see they’re just as insouciant as yourself. What with locking downs their entire country and bringing on a guaranteed recession and stuff.

Wife said the same bud, there are a bunch of selfish buggers out there, imagine how bad they'd be if there was genuine food shortages. As a society we've come a long way from singing songs in the blitz, at least it's put the "We are becoming a much nicer society" nonsense to bed.

It's every man/woman/and everything in between for themselves.

We didn’t panic buy but now we’ve got nothing to wipe our arses on.

Ours looks prettier, more tidy.

Yours looks very similar to China around day 23, maybe its reaching the peak now, our news said tonight that the first town it was detected in had no new cases today for the first time. I can't remember the towns name unfortunately.

Don’t believe the Pathé newsreels. It was exactly the same then and one of the reasons why rationing was introduced.

Day 17 maybe. There’s no real gap between total recoveries and deaths in Italy and there was at day 23 in China.

Queuing for beef dripping and Mr Jones's sausage was never that bad surely :o

We've been going on a few days saying it's about the health system getting overwhelmed, and not so much about straight-up personal covid risk. Even if that is obviously also a concern and gets worse if the health system is overwhelmed.
