I’m of the opinion that the lock down in Italy may have done more harm than good. The elderly if left alone will pretty quickly get depressed and stressed out leading to a drop in their immunity which the leads to the virus getting a real grip of them, ultimately leading to deaths.You will find in Italy the family unit is a lot stronger than say in the UK and you will have three generations all living under the same roof. Grandparents catch the virus and unknowingly at the time transmit to the younger members who in turn are out and about at night etc. If we, as a country heed the warnings to self distance etc then fingers crossed we can see this virus off sooner rather than later.
According to those graphs, italy are at 5. How are they *not* out of control?
What for? It’s just fluHas anyone considered the possibility of a lockdown?
I suspect the number of cases of people that have caught this virus through touching door handles and inside trains/buses surfaces will be very high and higher than the flu which is less durable as a virus on surfaces. Delighted to hear that you are feeling a bit better. I assume they are still not offering services at this stage to see if you are definitively negative? Must be difficult to know whether to stick or twist in these situations in terms of venturing out without 100% knowing your status now.
Definitely not a lock-in.

The elderly crave routine and companionship which may have been lacking due to the lockdown.
Only an opinion but could be why so many have died since they went into it without little affect.
First i've heard of itHas anyone considered the possibility of a lockdown?
I think the opposite tbh and think its more likely to be person to person contact. If there was a lot getting it through touching doors or surfaces as well as just from other people, then there'd be far higher numbers than there are so far, the infection rate would be absolutely huge.
YepLockdown coming in 5...4...
Exactly. I'm fully expecting the PM to unveil plans to play Liverpools next two games with as much extra time as needed to get them 6 points. As it looks like we are mirroring Italy in terms of the escalating death rate it's vital we get Liverpool over the line this weekend before all the attention seekers start dying.What for?

Great words.Sweden's Prime Minister gave a speech to the nation yestrday. I thought we were going into lockdown but we didn't. He did quite well, anyway:
"There are a few, decisive moments in life, A time when you are asked to sarifice, not for just for your own future, but also to take responsibility for your community, for your fellow man, and for our country.
That time is now.
That day has arrived."
Quite Shakesperian if not Churchillian. Let's see how Boris measures up to the Swedish welder who left school at 16.
Seems we're getting a serious one then as it's out of sync with the other press conferences.
He sounds like a thick twat to be honest
No chance of a lockdown
Your boss is an absolute ****, mate. Fucking lowlife.yep. It’s as if nothing is happening. There’s no deadly virus..... It’s just come in as normal.
It’s driving me mad. Other employees think the same, but we all fear getting the sack. it has become a toxic environment recently.
I’d sack it off right now if I could. But it couldn’t be a worse time to do so
If not igive upNo chance of a lockdown
It's 1024 vs 181 actually, but yes I get that.3 days vs. 4 days makes a massive difference.
Over a month that's the difference between 1024 people dying or 128.
