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.
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.
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.
I think Italy will be seen as a slightly special case when all is said and done. A lot of Wuhans neighbouring provinces and Chinas neighbours all had different responses and results,
Im 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.
Im 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. Well only close when someone comes down with something.
Ill be quitting after this thing is done.
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. Dont panic but, get what you need supply wise and batten down the hatches.
The videos Ive seen from Italy and Iran (people on the ground videos) are bloody scary so I think lets not be complacent about it.

Very well put together article.
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%

10 UK deaths (earlier today), 2 of them overseas.
How many people have died in the UK from the ordinary Flu over the same time scale? I bet it's more than 10.
America bans all travel from Europe!

*UK not affected*
Will we follow suit and close our borders?

The Fake News Media and their partner, the Democrat Party, is doing everything within its semi-considerable power (it used to be greater!) to inflame the CoronaVirus situation, far beyond what the facts would warrant. Surgeon General, “The risk is low to the average American.”
People love a drama, and the past two weeks the media, politicians, etc. have been acting like the big drama queens they are. Next they'll be painting red crosses on our doors and have bin men come road calling for the dead - then again they'll probably leave them in the gutter for being put in the wrong colour coffin..
