I think a cure using currently used drugs looks like the best hope of an early resolution.

That would be preferable, obviously.

32 deaths in past 24 hours in UK. That's doubled from yesterday. Fuckity fuck.

Wow, lots of conspiracy theories! The real scary thing about this is just how quickly and easily the world has been caught out by a virus that in the scheme of things, doesnt have a particularly high mortality rate.

 

You can look at the pandemics through recorded history that wiped out millions and this doesnt come close, even if it is in its early stages.

 

Depends how much you depend on stats and from whom but China has reported only 1 new case for the 2nd consecutive day. Even Italy is showing a slow down in fatalities.

 

Everything is crashing,literally, around your ears be that public sensibility, stock markets, currencies and commodities.

 

How could the world get caught out so easily?

Because the idiots are in charge.

 

You've got Bozo and Cheeto, despotic Communists and a western society that really isn't a society just men, women and families. Most people don't know their neighbors, social clubs are now whatsapp and FB memes, and everyone moaning about shutting pubs- they've been shutting at a record pace for years have they not due to no one going?

 

Perhaps some alone time to have a think about what we've created would be a good idea. Gutting health services, running hospitals at bare minimum service, underpaying and overworking front line workers, corporate welfare running at higher levels than ever.

 

And we get 'Chinese flu' 'we'll flatten the curve' 'the economy will pop again' etc

Fuck me, Trump sounds worried!

His approval ratungs must sinking faster than the Dow Jones and he can't blame the Mexicans.

The mortality rate in the Uk seems pretty high, a clear sign that their are a lot more cases than has been officially confirmed. Just as an example, in Germany there has been 11.300 confirmed cases with 27 dying. In the UK it's 2626 cases with 71 deaths, although that seems to be 104 now. Very worrying trends.

WHO saying every suspected case should be tested and for every person that tests positive, that every single person that could potentially been in contact with are all traced.

 

We're fucked then.

The numbers of cases/deaths pretty much everywhere will keep going way up for at least 2 weeks. Damage has been done.

It's blatantly obvious that there are more cases than what's been reported. Using Northern Ireland as an example, there are no test sites there so the amount of people getting tested is minuscule. 

 

The UK government are a fucking disgrace but we all knew that anyway.

Known cases in Germany have more or less doubled over the last 2 days.

Going to get much, much worse because of schools still being open, no lockdown etc.

 

Italy have been in full lockdown for over a week and their numbers are still going alarmingly up.

You do realize that if no one did anything, millions of people would die from this?

Will you be one of them? 

[Bjornebye]

I’m starting to warm to the idea of just standing up to this cunt virus and everyone to man carrying on with life. Get the footy etc back going get to work get the pub just laugh in the face of adversity. 
 

Maybe because I’m used to laughing when it comes on top I don’t know.

Italy's numbers as I understand it, are not that alarming in that the percentage increase of cases is lowering each day. It takes weeks with this virus for lockdown efforts to reflect in the numbers because there's a lag time in the symptoms showing up and it doesn't seem to kill people quickly. Takes a couple weeks.

Germany running out of sausages and cheese due to panic buying. It's the Wurst Käse scenario.

I'm very much in the "not at risk" category, but thanks for bringing up my own mortality in these trying times. Appreciate it.

If this is the first time you've thought of your own mortality in the last week, then wow!

Schools preparing to teach remotely. Wife is head of two schools. Half day Friday and tech training for kids then. Teachers training tomorrow. That is her schools. Could be all of England. 

[Sugar Ape]

Compared to most other nations we do actually seem to be doing a lot more tests yet some of those countries have got a lot more confirmed cases

It's not, but I didn't need some cunt on here to ask me if I would die from this.

True. Hopefully we all dodge this along with our families. Some gallows humour is to be expected though.
