COVID-19 — Coronavirus

And this is with less than 600 cases. In around 10 days we will have 5000. 111/NHS is already cracking.

We definitely do not have less than 6000.

Johnson said up to 10k.

I think it’s likely more than that.

I know about 4 people who have every symptom. We have 3 off from work being tested!

They may not have it but it seems most people know someone.

I cannot believe Johnson didn’t mention her in his press conference.

Are they fucking taking this thing seriously?

No, otherwise they’d have enforced a containment zone around Brighton days ago.

They should ban her from the internet first.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Maybe she can remind us?

To be fair, I am not sure she knows.

That’s what the contact tracking is for!

Let’s go off 6000 then. In 10 days we’ll have 50,000-60,000. The point either way being we are currently struggling to cope as it is, yet will have around ten times as many cases in under 2 weeks.

The big problem for dealing with this is that people are so much more selfish these days than they were in WW2.

But *when* did Karen contract it, that is just as important to the discussion.

A rigorous epidemiological investigation should be launched immediately!

Ha that is a good point though,it could have any surface of a million on the way during or on the way back,any germs at any point,nobody knows point of contact,i got symptoms 2 days i think it was after getting back so maybe i got it on the way or from the sky engineer 2 days before i went,it is impossible to dodge really

Absolutely, I reckon 90%+ of people who get it will never have a test. The 10% that will are going to those at risk.

Quite rightly, people aged up to 60 will be expected to ride it out at home.
