I see the Italians have recorded another 700+ deaths in the past 24 hours. 

 

Can someone explain how the Italians seem to be dropping like flies to this thing? 

 

Really bloody worrying numbers coming out of their though, and I'm not usually a worrier. 

 

Probably: Thousands of people from Wuhan work in Northern Italy, virus spread hugely there before anyone really found out, government acted too slow, people didn't take it seriously, quarantine measures were leaked so people fled, taking the virus with them, population is old and they smoke, they touch/kiss each other a lot.

 

Now, because of the incubation period of the virus and the weeks it takes to kill people, the quarantine measures will take a while for the numbers to drop.

53 coronavirus deaths in the UK in the past 24 hours. 

 

How are we compared to the historic data from Italy? 

[Scott_M]

Italy has the worlds 2nd oldest population.

 

Sure that isn’t the only reason though. Japan has the oldest and its yet to rip through there.

Both at 233, apparently.

I'm pretty sure we're on same projection.

This is Italy below. Apparently our death rate at the same point is higher Italy but we’re 10 days behind. As of 10/3, they had 631 deaths, so far we’ve had 233. They had 233 as of 7/3.

 

Be nice to have a nice and easy graph for this to compare curves.

I'm pretty sure I debunked that yesterday.

This bloke has broke it down into text terms, which is easier to follow and compare. 

[chrisbonnie]

I think both our government (Irish) and the British need to put in place strict cut off measures if this ever kicks in again. 

 

Basically if another epidemic happens, you close your borders off to people, freight only in or out

 

Take advantage of being an island nation. 

 

Please god this does pass fairly fast. 

 

I currently have work, but can't do it because my missus is working from home and we don't have access to childcare. So im stuck indoors with a rapid 4 year old and a 1 year old getting ready to walk. 

 

I'll never complain about the price of childcare ever again

Bet if we dug deep enough, there'd be plenty of privilaged cunts here upto the same things.

The Japan thing is nonsense. They are deliberately down playing it because they are determined to host the Olympics this year!

 

Japan often don't do an autopsy when people die, so I'm pretty sure they are hiding the true figures. They are only testing 1200 people per day despite having the capacity to do 7500!

If we do follow those figures above, tomorrow looks to be a bad day and the next 5 is when we can expect to see it starting to accelerate at a frightening level.

Ignore them figures. SD debunked it.

We were never following those figures. The Italy column begins from the date of the first death. The UK column begins two days after the date of the first death. The UK column has been shunted down for no apparent reason, it's extremely misleading, doubtless whoever created it has an agenda to push.

 

We're 16 days after the first death here (5 Mar to 21 Mar), and we're up to 233. After 16 days (22 Feb to 9 Mar) Italy was up to 463.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I read somewhere yesterday that the Modena province of Italy recorded their first case of a full recovery from coronavirus.

Nice revenge neg you sad cunt. Italy's first death recorded to coronavirus was the 21st of Feb not the 22nd.

On Saturday, February 22, Italian authorities have confirmed the first two fatalities in the country amid the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The two COVID-19 fatalities are also the first in Europe.

Italy should get better soon. They started lockdown on the 9th, so coming up to two weeks now and they've just started drafting the military in to help enforce that better. So maybe over the next few days things might start gradually improving.

 

Or if this is right and they act on the advice it could still take a while longer :

 

Quote

The coronavirus measures in place in the hard hit Lombardy region of northern Italy are “not strict enough,” according to Chinese medical experts helping the country deal with the crisis.

The situation in Lombardy right now "is similar to what we experienced two months ago in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of COVID-19," the Chinese Red Cross vice president, Sun Shuopeng, said Thursday in a press conference in Milan, Italy.

"In the city of Wuhan after one month since the adoption of the lockdown policy, we see a decreasing trend from the peak of the disease," Sun Shuopeng said. "Here in Milan, the hardest hit area by COVID-19, there isn't a very strict lockdown: public transportation is still working and people are still moving around, you're still having dinners and parties in the hotels and you're not wearing masks. We need every citizen to be involved in the fight of COVID-19 and follow this policy.”

He advised Italians to stop all “economic activities and cut the mobility of people.”

Everyone should just stay at home, he added.

Is strontium still pushing the idea that we’re all overreacting and are going to be embarrassed when this turns out to be a piece of piss?

"confirmed" could well be the operative word here. Muppet.
