Oh and we’ve had 6 deaths in the UK. I don’t even think China will reach anywhere near 100,000 deaths.

I was wondering the same as to why the automatic assumption it will spread at the same rate as Italy?Gordaleman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 5:19 pmI mentioned this briefly before but no one responded, so let me ask again, as I've obviouy missed something.
Why is the UK considered to 13.5 days (Half a day?) behind Italy and why would that be case? The same thing is being applied to other European countries as well with different timescales.
I would say the factors which could be attributed to the high levels in Italy could be:
- Older demographic
- Intra-generational households
- Large family gatherings
- Kissing as a greating
- High cases of Flu and "excess mortality compared to other European countries. especially in the elderly"

They didn’t start testing people who presented with symptoms till it had spread a lot and also didn’t do contact tracing either.
That was his explanation why Italy is worse.

Re: Coronavirus
The stock markets were overdue a big correction, coronavirus was all the excuse they needed. The fact that they fell does not mean that the virus got worse. It just means that fear and uncertainly over the world's economy, that has always influenced markets, came into play.
As for your projection of 100,000 + deaths in the UK, I really con't know where you came up with that figure. Worldwide, there have been about 4,000 deaths and yet you think our small island will have 100,000 all on it's own. Crazy. Even so, that crazy figure is just one in 700 approximately.

Re: Coronavirus
So Austria has placed a block on Italians crossing the border into Austria. I shared a gondola heading up the ski slopes this morning with 2 Italians who'd travelled to Austria to continue their ski team training. Lots of sponsors badges on their ski wear, including one that suggested they might be police officers.
Stable door, perhaps?

Re: Coronavirus
Was married to an Italian. Emphasis on family is way stronger than here. May explain some of it. One of those ironic and sad moments when being 'close' is a bad thing. Family is huge there. Likelihood of cross contamination therefore is more likely. Still doesn't necessarily explain how it got so rampant to begin with, but from then on. Obvious. Same with Asian, predominantly Muslim. Who also put a great deal of emphasis on physical contact and family. It's not a huge surprise it's spreading more rapidly in nations where close social interaction is normal. A saving grace for here is that we're naturally reserved generally. It'll still spread, but nowhere near as quickly.Gordaleman wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:11 pmBBC 6pm news says Italy had poor early surveillance and also has the second highest percentage of elderly people in the world.

Re: Coronavirus
Never been to Italy. I'm sure it's a wonderful place with wonderful people but it does seem that in different ways they have shot themselves in the foot. Mainly I think because of the poor early surveillance which probaly allowed hundreds of people to become infected but also, as you say, close family ties. People will have been greeting each other with kisses and cuddles, probably fot several days at least, before the authorities did much.Claret32yrs wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:17 pmWas married to an Italian.

To be honest, I'm not sure Britain has done enough either but I don't think we'll be as bad as Italy.
You're also right about British people being rather more reserved.
Re: Coronavirus
For a bit of perspective:
The Chinese Population is over 1.4 billion unless I’m mistaken and 89,000 have been infected ( not died).
This is a relatively small percentage at 0.006%.

Re: Coronavirus
One of the few mercies of the spreading coronavirus is that it leaves young children virtually untouched — a mystery virologists say may hold vital clues as to how the virus works.
In China, only 2.4 percent of reported cases were children and only 0.2 percent of reported cases were children who got critically ill, according to the World Health Organization. China has reported no case of a young child dying of the disease covid-19.
That means the new coronavirus is behaving very differently from other viruses, like seasonal influenza, which are usually especially dangerous for the very young and very old.
“With respiratory infections like this, we usually see a U-shaped curve on who gets hits hardest. Young children at one end of the U because their immune systems aren’t yet developed and old people at the other end because their immune systems grow weaker,” said Vineet Menachery, a virologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch. “With this virus, one side of the U is just completely missing.”
Some experts have floated a theory that because children are so heavily exposed to four other mild coronaviruses, which circulate every year and cause the common cold, that may give kids some kind of strengthened immunity. But many have doubts about that argument because adults catch the common cold coronaviruses too, and the immune systems of children — especially under the age of five — are underdeveloped, which should make them more vulnerable, not less.

Re: Coronavirus
I read some papers regarding people who are immunosuppressed and it links the immune system over reacting in the lungs in normal people which intensifies the damage done, hence those with lower immune responses (like children and people who are immunosuppressed) may in fact handle the virus better.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:59 pmBut many have doubts about that argument because adults catch the common cold coronaviruses too, and the immune systems of children — especially under the age of five — are underdeveloped, which should make them more vulnerable, not less.

Re: Coronavirus
Not sure that's fair. Misguided comments maybe. I get the 'fear factor' but it's not racist. I'd use words more akin to worried. We all lash out when worried, scared. Fear of the unexpected. The ideology of this being contained by closing borders is just not realistic as we are a global economy. I think he's just misguided and worried. We're all worried.

This is a serious thread (Ok I'm not taking it that seriously, you have to laugh or you'll cry) but it's not a political football. It's something that is global and borders and seas make no difference. It's not the time nor place for points scoring mate. It's a time to pull together and reflect.
Austria and Slovenia have beefed up border controls with Italy.
Borders provide protection.
However , in many parts of europe , thanks to the EUs policies, the borders between nations are non existent and the physical infrastructure of former checkpoints, has been allowed to fall into disrepair. Had it not, border checks would have surely helped in quarantining.
FREE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE = FREE MOVEMENT OF VIRUS.
