We might be on the same trajectory or not. Italy went for a few days of around 30/day, which is where we are currently. I don’t think that we, as onlookers, have enough data to say whether we are on the same trajectory, as we don’t know how many folks are in a serious condition. I’d also be interested to know the numbers in Italy away from Lombardy/the North. This might give us up here a sense of how it might unfold for us. It doesn’t feel here like it’s the end of the world as we know it. it's here https://lab.gedidigital.it/gedi-visual/2020/coronavirus-i-contagi-in-italia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted March 20, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted March 20, 2020 The SAGE report suggested intermittently making the restrictions more severe, then releasing them for a period, then back again to total lockdown. It's all aimed at stopping the NHS getting overwhelmed. The acceptance is that 80% of us will get it. All these efforts are geared at management. Which makes sense. But. But. Something about the concentration of cases in Italy and Spain makes me think it's not the whirlwind it appears based on that. I honestly reckon a fair few of us have had it and don't know. The real proof would be in those antibody tests, which can't come soon enough. They could end this madness quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got a bad feeling about all this. On a really optimistic note, a poor old bloke the missus was looking after last Sunday died yesterday on the Covid isolation ward. I am starting to worry it is getting all rather close to home. There is some evidence playing out in front of us what this virus is capable of. Don't go Andy Burnham on us now! On a more positive note; Lancashire county council are looking at redeployment of personnel not in essential services to provide support to the elderly/vulnerable, by ensuring they have shopping, medicines etc. Whether it will be needed, guess we'll see.

That guy whose link I put up the other week wasn't a conspiracy theorist or Nostradamus, just purely pointing out factual evidence related to the numbers returning from Wuhan after their New Year and where it would be most likely to spread. He's been spot on so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours are that all pubs, restaurants, cinemas etc in London will be told to close and that 1.5m at risk people (asthma etc) will be instructed by the NHS to self isolate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
