Weird the people who were saying last week we aren't testing everyone so the death rate isn't that bad are now saying the "attack rate" isn't that bad.
Which is it.
Also Boris now has it.
Very interesting, makes it seem much less like sure good news really.Quote:

Excel is being used to alleviate current pressure on other hospitals...
There's a different between short term spikes and longer term issues.
Yeah that's my point that fact we need them now shows the situation is bad, those spikes won't go away until there is a vaccine. We will have peaks and troughs but they will keep coming.Quote:

Ultimately it's the death rates of those without serious underlying conditions that will give us a truer picture, but what we don't know is how many people would die if we destroyed the global economy? I don't envy the people who are trying to predict the future, as the consequences of getting it wrong could be horriffic.Quote:

Birmingham Airport could become emergency mortuary
Attachment 3640
Birmingham Airport could be used as a temporary mortuary for up to 12,000 bodies in a worst-case coronavirus scenario after talks with several local councils.
Matt Hancock tests positive as well.
The coronavirus lockdown has led to big drops in air pollution across the country’s major cities....
Levels of toxic pollutants were likely to fall even further.... as traffic remained off the roads but prevailing westerly winds from the Atlantic returned.
The data shows drops in tiny particle pollution of a third to a half in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff, falls of about quarter in Manchester, York and Belfast, with smaller declines in Glasgow and Newcastle. For nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution, the data also shows declines of a third to a half in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff, and drops of 10-20% in the other cities.

What? You think I want to hear this is bad? I'd much rather what you are posting to be true.Quote:

Well that will be moderately dependant on whether the health service in any particular country copes under the strain.Quote:

I'm not sure this penny has dropped. I'm close to the 70+ age group yet am far more worried for my children and grandchildrens' futures. There was already a period of reckoning coming for global economies. This could tip literally everything over the edge of a cliff..Quote:

It's alright. Walesbales has obtained a copy of the contingency plans for a global economic collapse. I am sure he can share this with you and your family so you can make adequate preparations.Quote:

So we would be better off not having a quaratine and everyone going about their daily business as usual then?Quote:

This website is ****ing madness. Too many blokes with way to much time on their hands. The worst thing about it is that everyone thinks that they're correct on every subject they like to pontificate on, seeing something in other posters replies that simply don't exist.Quote:

As I said, lesser of two evils. Trump's been struggling to convey the same message re the cure being worse than the disease.Quote:

All I did was post some of the goings on in the White House and Imperial College that will have a huge effect on on the outcome of the current global Corona pandemic. I think everybody should be aware of this information, and we'll as the doom & gloom stuff the media are pedaling.Quote:

Dr Anthony Fauci has just come out and said the fatality rate of the Corona virus could be 0.1%, which is the same as pandemic flu. Would that be cause to shut down the entire global economic system? Furthermore, this research is ongoing, so it's not going to be a random decision that will get everybody back to work. The alternative option of doing nothing is fraught with danger, unless you are ok with the idea of the world descending into a Mad Max scenario.Quote:
