Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

Re: Coronavirus update

No, just arguing with experts on the internet is pointless and I can't be arsed going round in circles, I'm never going to agree with you and you're never going to agree with me, and neither of us give a shit if the other one does or not. Too concerned about Aaron Ramsey now anyway

One of the Juve players has it.

Fit lads, footballers Delmi, so I wouldn’t have thought too much concern about the individual. The massive problem though is who else has he been in contact with, must be mind boggling the questioning. Can’t imagine be asked to wrack your brains to recall everyone you’ve been in contact with over the last week or so, mind boggling.

Re: Coronavirus update

I can't honestly in living memory remember a time when countries got quarantined, Serie A was completely stopped, US States declared states of emergency, Champions League matches were played behind closed doors and all the rest of it. And I remember bird flu, ebola and so on.

Like I said, I'm not panicking. I'm living completely normally and will continue to do so until told otherwise but the refusal by some people to acknowledge that the steps that are being taken internationally in reaction to this outbreak mark is out as something different and potentially more worrying really confuses me

And what will our worry achieve?

Re: Coronavirus update

Or is it that Italians are more sociable than us? Not sure what the weather has been like in Italy lately, particularly the north, but the bloody rain we’ve had here for what seems like forever may be keeping people at home. We obviously mingle on public transport, shops & sporting events but there hasn’t been any decent evenings to get out and mix. Are we a bit less ‘touchy feely’ than Latin folk? I just picture Italian people out and about on decent mild evenings greeting each other warmly while we’re a sort of wave and ‘all right mate’. Traditional British stand offishness may have been a bit of an advantage this last month or two.

Yes, that's a good point about the "touchy-feely" aspect. If we don't get a sudden exponential increase in cases soon, then it will be interesting to hear what the medical guys have to say about it. Not that I want to see an exponential increase, far from it!

I've read a lot about Britain being something like 13 days behind Italy. All countries are going to have had similar stats to Italy at some point, so I don't necessarily buy that Britain will turn into Italy with regard the virus. It might, but it's not the guarantee that some seem to be suggesting.

I don't follow that logic about being 13 days behind Italy either. The countries bordering Italy have had nothing like the infections they have suffered and it's only this week the country has been on lockdown.

Re: Coronavirus update

Had an Asda home delivery earlier:

Did you have the email?
Yes, the nuts I ordered are out of stock.
I have never seen anything like this, we are running out of everything.
People really are panic buying?
Yeah, it's incredible. This past week or so has been busier than at any time over Christmas.

Re: Coronavirus update

I think Italy will be seen as a slightly special case when all is said and done. A lot of Wuhans neighbouring provinces and China’s neighbours all had different responses and results,

I’m in Vitoria-Gasteiz, which is getting something like 30/40/50 new infections a day. We were up to 200 yesterday. Schools closed now. Limited gatherings.

The minister of health in Spain has said that worst case the epidemic will be gone by July.

I’m teaching in a private language school. We should probably shut for a few weeks but private enterprise are in it for the money. Staff health is secondary. We’ll only close when someone comes down with something.

I’ll be quitting after this thing is done.

Re: Coronavirus update

What people are forgetting is over the last few months in the far away land of China we Europeans and the rest of the world thought hmmm sad but their problem. Too far away to affect us. Stop eating bats and whatever.
Then reasons unbeknown Italy and Iran had the virus develop after China, took them by surprise and it spread, really spread. To the point of both countries medical services are now on the brink. In this time through well publicised media the other surrounding nations have had time to observe and make judgements however it is spreading. Yes we are weeks behind but it will catch up.
Cobra meeting tomorrow to go into delay phase. Don’t panic but, get what you need supply wise and batten down the hatches.
The videos I’ve seen from Italy and Iran (people on the ground videos) are bloody scary so I think let’s not be complacent about it.

Very well put together article.

Re: Coronavirus update

Interesting read with some good graphs. It backdates the cases the authorities knew about at the time with the actual numbers, along with some other stuff. One big conclusion is


Countries that are prepared will see a fatality rate of ~0.5% (South Korea) to 0.9% (rest of China).
Countries that are overwhelmed will have a fatality rate between ~3%-5%
