Harking back to the "2 weeks behind Italy" - 

Today we have had 10,612 deaths - 2 weeks ago Italy had 10,023 deaths.

Today Italy have had 19,889.

Scary......

Interesting figures, looks like it’s less potent than flu, let’s hope so, interesting that Italy has the worst record In Europe on flu deaths, don’t think it’s going to be anything like as bad here as Italy. The big unknown being how many catch it in the first place. 

 

On 10th March there'd been over a hundred less deaths in Italy in total, than was reported in the UK today.

Your numbers are wrong. We’re nowhere near as bad as Italy.

Its not even as potent as flu.

Flu deaths are often way over 20k per season in U.K. it’s no comfort but you're probably right.

Flu has been around for centuries.

Yet CV has been with us for 6 months and you’ve already got it nailed.

A question for the older members of WWays

If restrictions relax in 3 weeks, are you happy for everyone to go about their business? Happy to go to the pub and mix with people who may be carrying the virus?

 

I was in no doubt that the initial lockdown period for all over 70s and also for anyone with specific underlying conditions was 12 weeks, with the possibility of extension.

The general lockdown period was unspecified but subject to 3-weekly review. Mid May now seems the earliest date for significant relaxation.

There will be many lessons to be learned from this pandemic. Scientists have been telling anyone who would listen that a future pandemic would be a huge problem in this globally connected world. And now here it is. 

One question is how frequently can such events be expected? Once in a generation may seem reasonable in view of experience over the last couple of centuries, but of course air travel has changed the game. If another pandemic came in 5 years who would be ready?

As has been said authoritarian regimes can control populations far more effectively, but democracies can do better. Most countries have some form of ID card, but UK don't. Labour almost introduced one in 2006 but got cold feet thanks to a media slagging, and even the watered down system went out of the window under the Cameron coalition.

Police forces have shown that they are clueless in matters requiring a level of common sense, which is another problem which has to be addressed.

I think other countries will show that early lockdown followed by mass testing and back tracing, using technology and staged restriction release will prove to be better than late lockdown

 Time will tell.

Ok but we know as of today when approx we would be coming out of lockdown mass testing is not available in UK.
