Re: Coronavirus update

I haven't a pension pot, fat or otherwise. Had I I'd be much more concerned about the prospect of Weimar-like hyperinflation reducing its purchasing power to sweet FA than I am about the cash I hold becoming worthless.

Nobody cares what I think... I'm a mong... a right drip... someone who knows f all... but nevertheless, for what it's worth, which is naturally zip, to my minuscule brain the Yanks, Europeans (via ECB boss Christine Lagarde), and the British Chancellor's statements of intent this week will destroy their currencies, by design, to bring forth a new financial system that will be digital only money.

Re: Coronavirus update

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.

4% assumes the other 96% represents the total of Coronavirus cases. It's probably closer to 1 - 1.5%.

It took me 5 phone calls to get a tax refund that HMRC had confirmed was due to me. I really doubt any Western govt. will be delivering on these promises - even if it was their intention to do so in the 1st place. There's no mechanism. system, processes in place. By the time they've set everything up, we'll be coming out the other side of this..

1% of suffers dying is still quite bad no? 1 person of every hundred who gets it dies.

Or 0% on your calculations earlier in the thread

Think you said the same in the banking collapse.

At the moment practically 1 person is dying a minute worldwide. And we're still in the early phases.

The German currency collapsed because it was the only currency affected. How do you envisage that the three main currencies will collapse at the same time? Does £1 suddenly equal $0.5, which suddenly equals 0.25 Euros which suddenly equals 5 pence?

The currencies didn't collapse in 2008 because every one of the major nations had to make the same choices. Zimbabwe's currency collapsed because it was the only country acting like a dick.

Re: Coronavirus update

More than 245,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed across the globe. The World Health Organization noted that it took more than three months to reach 100,000 cases worldwide —but only 12 days to log the next 100,000.

Nothing to worry about as long as you don't understand exponential growth

Re: Coronavirus update

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

Not exactly working in Italy at the moment, but that's because the public are flouting the advice. Here's a warning for us - do we comply like the Chinese have, or do we say "as long as I am alright, stuff it" like the Italians.

Yes they were still all going to restaurants and bars well into the lock down, I think the UK will be more like Italy because a lot of people don't seem to think it's an issue.

Yes a few of them over here were getting grief for months when they are out and about. I fear you'll be getting the same looks in public now!

It used to be that you coughed to cover up a fart, I've started farting to cover up a cough!

Anyone thinking it isn't serious should read that.

And for the record, it is NOT like flu, it is more often than not chronic pneumonia and it is killing hundreds here each day.

The head of emergency care, Dr Roberto Cosentini, says they have never seen anything like it, and he and his staff are warning other countries, especially the UK, that they will see it soon.

"It's a very severe pneumonia, and so it's a massive strain for every health system, because we see every day 50 to 60 patients who come to our emergency department with pneumonia, and most of them are so severe they need very high volumes of oxygen.
