    Apparantly this virus has a fatty substance.Washing hands with washing up liquid is just as good as soap.Fairy is probably the best because it lasts longer and you can make a rocket out of the bottle.

    You've made the fatal mistake of thinking that governments actually care about its citizens. They only do just enough to keep you paying your taxes and ensuring that you are economically productive. If you want to blame anybody, then blame the people who keep on voting for the same two parties!

    Too right, I mean if they will chuck their own Health Minister under a bus who knows what they will do next.

    There are supposedly 1 million kits for 322 million people. Yet Trump promised anyone could get a test any time they wanted. Stable genius.

    Israel has the best policy , anyone entering the country has to be a resident , and isolate immediately and no tourists in whilst this exists.

    Dad (91) was 10 hours on a trolley, later on a seat (having been taken into hospital with suspected stroke) before getting a bed late on a (normal) Friday night. Chances are someone will die in a corridor under those circumstances. And that's before CV really hits. NHS "well prepared"? On paper, maybe, but in reality the Demographic Time Bomb has already exploded.

    Germany has 28,000 intensive care beds, of which 25,000 offer ventilators. Apparently, the UK has approx 4,500. I hope your dad is OK.

We should isolate the oldies now, stay in if your over 65.
    In Italy the kids are carriers?

    I don’t think so in most cases, probably the parents passing it on to the grandparents whilst dropping kids off etc....the parents might well have had no symptoms showing....I’ll check when I speak to him next. Kids have always got some sniffles though

    Re: Coronavirus update

    These is an article on BBC News on line today about death rates etc. Apparently almost half of the mild caes are never even reported so that means trhe percentage of deaths per numbers of registered illnesses appears to be higher than it really is. apparently this is true in a lot of such outbreaks not just this one.
    The other point is that the vast majority of those who die are elderly people who are already suffering from some other condition like diabetes asthma or heart condition. Sensible precautions should allow the vast majority of the population to have no worry. Even those who do get the virus appear to be OK in 5 days or so. Of course we only hear about the worst cases

    Splott David warned us of this years ago when he told us of the plastic coffins in Atlanta. He is the prophet, the new David Icke

    I was just thinking about him the other day. Remember when he said Hilary Clinton was about to die? Then I wondered why is it that no one cares that she's not locked up? Or that Mexico haven't paid for the wall?

    You should get on the blower to the Italian Government, tell them to stop causing a fuss over nothing, and the WHO who declared it a Pandemic today. Also let IanD know that there's no problem with his father, the NHS is coping fine, only 0.06416666666 of the worlds population are infected

    No grip needed to get mate, and I'm not the panic buying type. I have been washing my hands more though. Thanks for the relentless stream of useful info though. Tit.

    9 and a bit weeks in hospital during which he was on IV antibiotics for pneumonia although the underlying cause of his sudden drops in blood pressure appears to be neurological. All sorts of issues around rehabilitation, changing GPs, social services etc. Out of area, and in this case, country, is a real pain to sort out. Moral of the tale...don't fall ill abroad. In this case, England. Didn't visit him in his home today as they are discouraging outside visitors. His house in Cardiff sold STC today, to pay for his care, thus ending his living in Cardiff since 1933 and being in the same house for over 54 years. I will shortly be homeless on match days so it may not be worth renewing my ST. 2hrs plus driving each way on match days was fine 10 or 15 years ago but not so much fun in older age. Things will never be the same again. On a connected note, I've had to start cancelling events organised at schools due to CV. Luckily, dad never needed intensive care.

    I work in a large office block, with maybe 500 other people. Think of all the people linked to that group of 500 people. My daughter works in a large furniture store, her boyfriend works in a large supermarket. They meet/see thousands every day. The chances are, between the three of us, we MUST have met someone who has the virus, or someone who has contact with someone else who has it. It strikes me that you're more likely to have come into contact with the virus, than not.

    The WHO formally declared it a pandemic earlier today. With a whopping total of six British deaths then should that number double we ought to run around in circles acting as though our hair is on fire. Its already happened at the Bank of England who announced an emergency 1/2% cut to the interest base rate this morning which is now at 0.25%, the lowest in the Bank's entire 326-year history.
