21 year old with no other illness dies from covid 19. This is particularly worrying-

“ A report from the United States' Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found 20% of those who had to be in hospital after contracting coronavirus were aged 20-44-years-old and 18% were 45-54-years-old.

Of those admitted to intensive care, 12% were in the younger age bracket while 36% were in the 45-54-year-old range.

"Clinicians who care for adults should be aware that COVID-19 can result in severe disease among persons of all ages," said the report, published on 18 March.”

Re: Coronavirus update

Ive just come back from a long walk around the country park where i live.

Came across a waitress I know who is now unemployed.

She would have seen the same as me a touring campervan taking over part of
a car park with what looked a couple of families sat around on deck chairs eating and drinking. Play areas with children and also adults on swings slides and climbing frames.

Im all in favour of people going out for walks but surely we should be closing access to cars and camper feckin vans , closing play areas etc.

Im sure this is the same all over the country.

On the other board there is a thread about how well Boris is doing. Someone actually questioned those giving him a poor rating asking what more he could do.!!!!! Unbelievable.

Is it his fault that people are bloody stupid??????!

Re: Coronavirus update

On the contrary, it's entirely predictable.

A large percentage of the people in this country are ignorant, arrogant, selfish or just plain stupid. That's always been the case, although the percentage does seem to have been on the rise in recent decades, but maybe the advent of social media has simply highlighted the situation.

I admire your faith in the UK population if you believe these stories are incredible.

I'd quibble with your large percentage but not with your sentiments in general particularly on social media.

Although in contrast there have been at least 170,000 responses to the government's request for volunteers to help the vulnerable.

After you've said this? Maybe people aren't just stupid maybe the shite and unclear guidance that's been given have left people thinking what they are doing is ok.

Re: Coronavirus update

I fear for the US (where I live).

Some people are taking this seriously but many are not. Here's one example. Last week the mayor of Phoenix closed down all the bars and restaurants so what did the idiots do? They all Ubered across the metro area to the city next door where the bars/restaurants were still open. Here's another example. I live in a co-op and the older folks have decided to do a communal jigsaw puzzle to pass the time. You couldn't make it up.

There are too many people here who slavishly watch Fox News. I walk my dog regularly around my neighbourhood and talk to people as we go. Twice in the last week I came across elderly people who thought it was "made up" and "nothing to worry about".

I cannot see a lockdown in the US (certainly not outside of California and the north east) happening. I hope people will accept it but I fear the conspiracy contrarians will not. If they put troops on the streets I fear we'll see armed conflicts flare up.

I was in Phoenix from the 10-17 March working and flew back to Canada then. We were put on immediate lockdown for 14 days.

Work got cancelled on Monday and my wife was with me, so I took a drive to Sedona... I’d never been before. What a stunning place (would’ve been even better if we’d got out of the car but we didn’t)

We were in Scottsdale, Chandler and Phoenix though over the weekend and everywhere was busy....

It doesn’t appear that Arizona has been badly hit yet but it might come based on what I saw...

I do think that NYC is going to end up being the worst hit place on the planet though

I will accept that not all the guidance has been clear.

But many are still acting stupidly.

Indeed.

And Croesy Blue who I was responding to said himself in a post regarding the crowds round Columbia Road Flower Market that he can't believe what people are thinking of so he obviously understood what the government are saying
