I think the world ( with the exception of China ) economies will be destroyed for many years to come. Unemployment rates of 25% here and in USA will cause unheard of social problems. House prices will crash and many pension schemes will be significantly underfunded and peoples pensions at a level t...

What is certain footy wont be restarting any time soon

I am going to do a prediction here. Football will start again in November / December this year.

What many don't realise is that a ventilator is the term for a life support machine with people in what's known as a 'medically induced coma'. Generally, I'd be surprised if over half make it in normal times anyway, so the figures might be fairly standard in terms of survival rates. Patients don't ...

Buggar, that means most of us cannot help.

Sorry

Lowbankclaret

That's fine. I wouldn't. It's "only" half a million deaths estimated in the UK if let run its natural course. And, yes, I'm well aware I or my loved ones could be in that. This is not an existential threat. Firstly , are you not watching what’s going on in Italy and Spain?? And they are on lockdown...

Thanks for the advice and attempt to help, but there is seriously nothing at all around here. I can’t create any accounts for any of the shops, all blocked - only Sainsbury’s are meant to be able to help, but they also refuse to allow me to create an account - that was after 4 hours on hold and spe...

Ridiculous!

We had to ask bailiffs to go out and kick them off.

Some people just don’t think it applies to them.

I can comment without fear of being arrested, I find it strange that you should ask that question ? I have been kept updated, daily, of the situation. The data released was correct at the time of release. Perhaps some people don't understand that there is an an "incubation period" and so cases have...

So our ramp up rate of deaths is behind Italy and way behind Spain, but still showing we will be losing over 400 people per day by the end of next week. Then double that the week after. Not looking good. A tighter lockdown on its way by this time next week. F9791151-2375-4E88-90D9-27B41F026A57.jpeg

I live in Wuhan. I posted a message on the ClaretsMad board last December just alerting people of the potential risks if allowed to travel here. I was ridiculed, "it's only a f*****g cold/flu". Oh well, I did try.... There are lots of rumours that suggest the death rate was a lot higher in Wuhan th...

Didn't stop you passing it along though, did it? No it didn’t. You didn’t have to read it either. There have been things I pasted that were called out as fake that in fact were true. So make your own judgment I will say if that 4000 bed hospital gets full, many will not get ventilators because we d...

Lowbankclaret

There has been some anecdotal evidence that this is/was happening in Italy. Without context it isn’t really useful. I imagine If someone is over 65 and is extremely unwell with ARDS then their chance of survival is pretty slim. Putting them on a ventilator might not work and might prolong the inevi...

I am sure people will claim this is fake news and there is not really a way to check it. I hope to god it is not true and it does no happen here. Saying they are taking respirators off people aged over 65 , sedating them and letting them die so they can treat people who are more likely to recover. I...

Bit of a geek fest, but it’s informative

Lowbankclaret

I am taking the lack of posts from the main protagonists as a sign they have suddenly realised how really serious this is.

Think we should shout out to Inchy, wish I could find him some masks but that search was fruitless.

Boris has tested positive for Covid 19.

Got in from work after 12.5 hours at the Covid factory. Admitted another young man to ICU today but I think he will do well. Ran out of the masks that I was fit tested on. Now apparently fit checking is fine, going against WHO and HSE guidelines. Unjustified other than it’s NHS England policy, whic...

Coming from you, the suggestion that Boris is manipulating the data is laughable

Once again , let’s see your 1% calculation.

With its ifs but and maybes.

But it makes you feel better.

Lowbankclaret

We are already one of the few countries who are not giving out figures for serious or critically ill figures.
Boris wants to flatten curve, best way to do that is to fix the figures, no surprise there!!

To be fair, the fairly local flyfishing lake operates a "put your money in the letterbox" scheme and then you make your way to the lakes.

I see from your other post that you are on a wind up. Well done. You are an idiot, an imbecile, and someone who appears to find it funny to wind people up. As far as your data and facts go, either stop posting inflammatory values which are clearly wrong that you fail to understand. One last time, y...

LowBank thinks he's more expert than the various epidemiologists who calculated a 1% IFR. This despite the fact it took him 4 weeks to realise what IFR is.

We had that discussion, full of ifs, buts and maybes.

1% is a little about a flu epidemic, does it still feel like flu to you.

Lowbankclaret

Don't they (the scientists) think that 80% of all people who catch it either show no, or symptoms that don't require reporting, thus there are far more cases in comparison to those who have died, hence the 1% figure? That’s the hypothetical situation. With no antibody test, it’s a finger in the win...

It seems we are approx half the mortality figures for Italy after the same period.

Not quite correct.

We have dropped behind their levels and way behind Spain, but still concerning.

I wonder what it's doing to the number of deaths via flu and pneumonia? That would be expected to be about 2,000 a week averaged over the year, and I would guess we would be in an "average" sort of period at present. Are the flu and pneumonia figures dropping at all, or are the coronavirus figures ...
