This bit agrees with both of us. Experts currently caution against reading too much into figures from the UK. On Friday morning there were 798 confirmed cases of Covid-19 in the UK, and 10 deaths – although the prime minister, Boris Johnson, has suggested as many as 10,000 people in the UK could be already infected with the virus. It’s whether you believe the government estimates or not. I’ve said previously that we are in unprecedented territory. Time, as they say, will tell.

Too warm for you Ginge 😘 Will be fine when it's hotter. Ironically, a guy weeks ago said Italy first in Europe followed by Spain to be majorly affected by it. Seems he was right. Will try and find his reasoning behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus is still out there, they've still no immunity and unless we can develop a vaccine before they have another outbreak then they're still very much at risk. Our approach might pay dividends. Allow people to get it in a sort of managed way - and develop a herd immunity. Just been on sky news explaining herd immunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herd immunity needs a majority percentage with resistance to be effective but we aren't there yet obviously. So that means folk are going to die before we get to get to that point. By choice. Maybe I am getting soft in my middle age but that doesn't sit right with me and by the looks of it, the rest of the civilised world. It’s an experiment either way I guess we’ve no choice but to go with the flow Or we could have a referendum? That would sort it out (🤗) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2e4 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) its march. but. the 2009 swine flu apparantly infected more than the spanish flu of 1918 . but iirc 2009 was kind of cold too. these might fit the timeframe.. i forget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_2009_Great_Britain_and_Ireland_snowfall https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_of_2009–10_in_Great_Britain_and_Ireland if now warms up (the winters been kind of wet) then it should help. Still think it'll be ok. but might stock up on hazmat suits just incase.. Edited March 13, 2020 by e2e4 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 20m by June. 1% deaths = 200k. I'm sure preventative measures will be in force before we get anywhere near that, to aid the slowing. Sobering thought.
