I do empathise with you lowbank and it is difficult to govern a country, easy when it's not us in charge.

At the time I said stop the flights no one thought this would be the outcome.

Only North Korea have not declared any cases, this is worldwide literally.

UK death rate not rising,but it's not slowing either,and if the experts are correct,in a couple of weeks this will only increase sadly. A further 46 people in England who tested positive for Covid-19 have died, NHS England has said.The patients were aged between 47 and 105 years old and all had und...

Do you want to go back to page 1 or so where I cited Prof. Neil Ferguson and 420k deaths? Or do you just want to make stuff up? You (the other poster will speak for himself I'm sure if he's minded to) have said done things that were right, some that were wrong and some that were mental. Monkeys, ty...

Some people’s perceptions were I was predicting an apocalypse. I don’t remember at any point predicting numbers in the future. What I was quoting were numbers of deaths as a percentage that looked really bad. Several weeks later those percentages still look horrible. I accept we have no idea how man...

No it hasn't. You just mean you've doesn't up even worse scenarios since.

I think you have had a spell check moment there.

Can you imagine the outrage if that was suggested 3 weeks ago? Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Also it’s not hindsight, page 1 of this thread a couple of us said this was going to be serious. I thought we would end up going into lockdown but didn’t think people would accept it. Funnily enough peopl...

Yes, many people are outraged now it’s being put out there.

I am guessing the same couple of posters would have welcomed it then and the majority wouldn’t.

Isn’t there some kind of mental disorder about the need to be proved right and seek constant back slapping for the same ? While I’m sure you mean well,the amount of self serving “ internet doctor” horsesh1t on this thread Is astounding . It’s not difficult to google a bit of history /trajectory of ...

I have spent a week trying this but been out to the shops and taken the Mrs out for a drive. We have therefore significantly reduced our social interactions and tried the 2 metre rule too. I think the advice has been correct about this in so far as it is now getting to the point where this is a mus...

Hope you are all ready for lock down.

Yes!

Lowbankclaret

A lockdown or not will unfortunately be determined by the number of dead people this week.

I really cannot understand people’s actions today.

They will be the ones moaning when we are in total lockdown.

There is probably a higher chance she hasn't got it, especially if those are the only symptoms, either way hope she's OK

She has the high Temperature and the dry cough too., sorry should have said.

I think it's too early for all the country to stay in

On the contrary, it’s already to late.
Look how late we are compared to China on this chart to introduce a lockdown.

We have just had a call from her eldest daughter, her mother in law has been told by 111. She probably has it and if her breathing gets worse to go to hospital. She says her chest feels like it’s in a vice. Still no tests available. This is going to become a complete **** show. Interestingly people ...

Have you also sprayed everything your wife has touched?

If it’s in a packet or a container, yes.

Lowbankclaret

For someone who has been adopting the "worst case" position I'm surprised you've allowed your wife to ignore social distancing As far as is possible , she did do. Hand gel before shopping, use it to disinfect the trolley handles. Disinfectant used on items before being put away. Then wash and chang...

Other half just nipped the Tesco Padiham. Much less people in but stocks still low or empty for lots of things. Plenty fresh veg.

She got me 3 bottles of beer, cannot believe I just sprayed them with disinfectant before putting them in the fridge.

How times are changing.

Lowbankclaret

Just seen this on Sky news so I am sharing on the basis it should be correct, but not checked the data. It’s a concerning graphic but should hopefully make people see what’s going on.

Largely agree with all that but if the NT hadn't told everyone they could visit parks etc. for free, perhaps people wouldn't have gone in droves? I still think that Johnson is a buffoon though and if the earlier report from the Times is true about Cummings strategy of "If a few pensioners die, so b...

I was watching a senior nurse being interviewed on BBC about an hour ago. If I remember correctly she said they had 4 wards with Covid 19 patients in. One of those just doing palliative care. ICU had 3 or 4 beds left. Her biggest concern was PPE, not enough and not of the correct quality. She was sa...

I guess the question is, does that matter if the numbers are still mirrored? At the end of the day if those numbers keep matching up closely, the fact it was in one region of Italy becomes irrelevant - those numbers will still be be similar. Unless there's a reason for those numbers to stop being c...

Lowbankclaret

That chart is strange in a way as the numbers definitely follow a pattern. Whilst it will get worse it has affected one region in Italy more than others and their family and healthcare structures are different. Currently it appears London is affected more than other regions. It is going to be the c...

Lowbankclaret

I posted a chart yesterday, I have checked the data on Worldometer and it appears they are correct. I have added the last couple of days figures and the curve is still following Italy’s but 14 days behind.

Four Portsmouth players have apparently tested positive for Covid 19, with ten more tests awaited.

Seems to be a lot of private testing going on.

Saw that as well, what I am shocked at is how many footballers got this. As a percentage of population it must be massive.

Lowbankclaret

Italy is in a worse state than China! Nearly 800 today alone.dead. Yes I saw that, watched the sky news feature, only one person in ICU had shown signs of recovery. The rest it seems are just dying. Sad sad times. I was hoping the numbers of positive cases would drop today but that didn’t happen ei...

Lowbankclaret

Considering we are only testing ill patients in hospital a rise of 1035 people to me is massive.

We need to really pull together and do the right things to get through this.

Glad to see some great companies stepping up to make ventilators, real shame mine was not one of them.

Not happy with you Lowbank . Living down in Shrewsbury , you've just reminded me of those lovely oddie's pies . Do they still do the "dinkies" ?

I honestly don’t know.

They have increased production of all items they said on Facebook.

Lowbankclaret

Drove past Oddies in Padiham this morning. I have to go to my allotment to feed my chickens.

Oddies looked to have pies and bread in.

Happy to give a couple of quid!

Interesting figures and something else to think about: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51979654 I think this is a fast moving situation, one where people will get creative. I have read they are moving ventilators from operating wards to increase capacity. One where countries react in ways we don’...

Good morning everyone.

Happy Saturday, it’s a real shame we are all not starting our normal football routines.

Big big shout out to all our NHS workers, at this time they will be our heroes.

SARS actually mutated and became less dangerous. Some suggestion that has happened in Covid-19 in Singapore where it has shed some of its genetic structure. We live in hope.

As a scientific comparison, what would you compare this virus with, other than flu? Not talking symptoms, seriousness, outcomes etc etc, but just a numbers comparison... In the end it is difficult. Covid 19 shares 95% of it dna with SARS. So it’s similar. To give that perspective. Orangutans and ch...

No. No-one apart from you was economical with the truth. You picked up an unsourced, unverified number that's probably just an input error and ran with it because it suited you. It's little better than lying. Well you also need to look at the other percentages. Percentage of cognitive function vs t...

Have there been any DEFINITE positive results in the Burnley area yet? They are only testing people admitted to hospital. Blackburn hospital doesn’t know an arse from an elbow, so they probably haven’t tested anyone yet. Before anyone jumps down my throat, my step dad went, only place he didn’t hav...

unfortunately thats exactly what self isolating is meant to be.
