Very few flues survive past April / May. We are approaching spring. It is not spreading hugely in the Southern Hemisphere from what i can see.

I hope i am right but of course time will tell.

Nothing like a bit of amateur Science.

Its spreading pretty well in Iran not to mention the many parts of Asia where it is hot as Fukc.

Ha. Would you have this blasé attitude if your team was 25 points clear and on the brink of winning the title in 30 years ? I suspect many would be saying this virus is all a conspiracy to stop us winning the league!

Nonsense, absolute nonsense. Not one such word would pass the lips of a City fan. Whilst they were asleep at least.

It will get much hotter in Iran and flu virus struggle to survive in the heat.
 
From the Guardian:

“In the province of Lodi, and even more so, in Codogno, there’s a net reduction in the number of positive cases,” said Giulio Galleria, the welfare councillor for Lombardy, the region worst affected.

If locking down can slow the rate in just over a fortnight, Italy’s decision to extend the policy appears understandable.
 
The death rate in Italy is 15% not what was reported in China of 3% or whatever.

The government is moving slow, too slow, the UK has more people in a smaller area size, as soon as numbers infected doubled unless action taken swiftly why would we be on anything other than a hiding to nothing?

There is no evidence this is affected by temperature so hoping that the summer is going to kill it off is a false start.
 
The only nightmare scenario for some is that the 'flow of money' stops. Human life as a whole has no real meaning to many, because 8bn people aren't actively a part of their narrow world view nor an experience in their lives. The human race is made up of those immediately around them, anything else beyond these people is just an abstract...Yes, a million here or there go 'missing' so what? It's not me or us, it's them, so who cares? I am not wholly convinced Johnson will act in the best interests of the people within the UK, he'll act in the best interests of money, people are abstract, money, to him, is real. If I'm wrong, then I will apologise, I have no faith in him whatsoever...we've done nothing to prevent what's heading our way except to enhance the need for bloody bog roll..which miserably is just a sad reflection of some people's mind set, sod you...

it’s about 10 - 15 degrees in Wuhan

Japan is between 8 and 12 around now

Iran around 10.

Northern Italy will be around 10.

Nothing like a bit of amateur geography. Just because you have to get on a plane to get there doesn’t mean it’s hot.

So just doing a quick check, in Tehran its around 18-20 degrees at the moment and Milan about 15-19. Wuhan is also getting up to about 20 degrees during the day.

So I'd suggest you actually fact check, before calling other people out.

Italy is somewhat different to the uk though, with regards to levels of preparedness for an outbreak like this. Not only that, but you need quite a lot of confirmed cases before you do what Italy has done or you could be doing it for months. Imagine Italy gets to April 3rd with no more cases, what do they do next? Will Italy be open or closed on April 4th? Business will be desperate to get going again, tourism is a huge sector for Italy but, if they open up and someone from another country takes the virus back in, what then? It’s a dilemma for sure but, whilst the politicians are taking advice from the people who’ve been planning for this stuff for years, I think we are currently doing the best thing for the country, for the time being at least.

shall I pick an area of northern Italy and Iran over the last few weeks to prove my point . Have you skied in northern Italy ?

it’s not hot as fuck though is it which he claimed which was the point ww was making that hopefully when it gets warmer it will help control the virus.

Wuhan average temp january and feb when this was spreading 8 - 11

Tehran jan and feb average 8-11

hopefully to ww point when it gets hotter it will subside. It’s a new virus so nobody knows,

And we do everything we can to avoid being diagnosed with cancer and you can’t catch cancer by attending a sporting event and mixing with people with cancer.

Yet again, your whataboutisms plumb the depth.

And he didn’t claim 1% was apocalyptical, did he.

Mock all you want. You clearly are a pretty unpleasant person.

So this is apocalyptic?? A 1% death rate! Really ? I'm guessing you have been lucky enough in your life to have not had much adversity or serious illness in your family. Unfortunately I have. Unfortunately Cancer has affected my family and close friends very badly. 380,000 people will be diagnosed with Cancer this year in the UK and about 170,000 people will die and 1 in 3 of us in our life will get cancer.

I know you are really good at maths Chippy so you work out the how deadly Cancer is compared to Coronavirus.

And then come back and tell me how apocalytic a 1% or a 4% death rate is? Sure it's terrible and we should be doing all we can to avoid it. But I'm guessing that even you, one of the most pessimistic people on this thread (or a realist as you like to say) kind of thinks that in a couple of years time mankind will have developed a vaccine for this flu virus and it will fortunately be nearly eradicated. Sadly despite medical advances we are likely to be several decades away from such a result with Cancer. Perhaps you should think on that my my friend before your next apocalyptic post.

When cancer becomes contagious or infectious you will have a point.
Until then your post is bollocks.
