Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

China solved the problem (perhaps temporarily) in what, 50 days? I checked the numbers before posting. Pro rata wise Britain's 144 fatalities is almost up to China's total and measures here remain half-arsed.

You were just saying there were no need for these measures because they would kill the economy. China have helped the problem by shutting everything down for 3 months. I'm on a video call with China as we speak and they are still all wearing masks during work and are still limiting staff numbers in the office.

Re: Coronavirus update

Blow up economies, saddle generations with a vast amount of debt to repay and taking a hammer to the purchasing power of the pound versus hoping to extend the lives of the aged who are already seriously ill for maybe a year or two. I'll opt for the latter.

Those who choose the former should remember not to grumble when they have to dig very deep for years on end to help finance it all.

This leaves me to assume that you are not that old

You originally confidently stated that the virus was invented by China to control the Chinese population, and to "wake you up when a non Asian died'

Over 1000 deaths and counting in Italy, Spain and Iran, the total's going up every day in dozens of other countries and you're still on here making statements like you're knowledgable. It's so arrogant and laughable it's beyond embarrassing

Absolutely pointless comparing, because China is a massive country that had one region, in particular, like a warzone, and other regions with a barely a ripple.

Population wise, the UK is similar to Hubei, so try comparing that.

Are you a bit thick or just stubborn

Ah, you again. You keep having a pop, oh brainy one. The attached is just for you, and it definitely isn't a random choice.

Re: Coronavirus update

Death rate of infected in Iran is over 7%. That would be a better comparison than China.

China is basically like Europe and the UK is smaller than a lot of the Chinese provinces. Will the UK be Hubei or Gunagdong?

It was a question more than a pop. I don’t think you’re thick at all, I just think your unable to change your viewpoint because of how stubborn you are.

Do you think the measures being put in place are good or bad?

The mortality rate is the important bit. 4% is massive, much higher than Spanish Flu. Unlike that one though, which targeted those 20-45 the most (I.e. the productive) then this one is of less concern.

So self isolation is key then surely?

Bad. I think .gov should spell out repeatedly in simple language who are most at risk and that they should stay indoors and avoid contact with others as much as practicable.

Aye.

So one minute you're looking at total population

"Pro rata wise Britain's 144 fatalities is almost up to China's total"

Then it's mortality rate is the important bit, which is based on those infected.

Keep flailing, you'll hit eventually.

Bad. I think .gov should spell out repeatedly in simple language who are most at risk and that they should stay indoors and avoid contact with others as much as practicable.

But if there isn't complete self isolation infection will spread massively and hospitals will get overwhelmed. Even young people have been in intensive care and on ventillators. Hospitals getting overwhelmed means these people will start to die.

If the infection spreads there is more chance of older and vulnerable people getting it too.

I agree something has to be done to protect the economy, smaller businesses and self employed people. But Fracne and Italy have managed to do that.

But these measures are the only thing that have worked in China and Italy.

I think we all just need to admit that we dont know everything about everything and it’s ok for speculation we’ve made on a messageboard not to be right all the time
