I genuinely don't know. During the whole speech I was thinking about the resemblance to Britain's strategy.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
This is good advice. I won't be following it.
mancunianitis is spreading faster than we feared.There is no difference and outside of the second point the rest makes total sense.
Sweden are also doing very similar.
There was a chest virus that did the rounds between December to Feb, but I'm afraid it wasn't covid 19. Saw the name of it. If I find it I'll post it on here.
I'd post the smily but I can't on my phone. I agree with this.
I've just been stuck in meetings all day discussing how cancer care will be affected by this and how to strategise delivering it. I come home, inform the relative bodies via email about what was discussed and what still needs to be discussed. Come on here onto this thread while channel 4 news is talking about plus a BBC tab open with the coronavirus.
I just thought, nah, sack this shit for a bit. Went and played Rocket League for a bit then prepped a steak dinner. Found it particularly cleansing to not think about it for a while. Thought I'd try to spread the feeling.
Best of luck in the Corona black hole!

Why did the 18th Century Great Plagues not take place in the 18th Century?
It will be interesting how it goes for them, they've just made it sound like they're more "in control" but it sounds risky.
Why do you feel like building a controlled herd immunity doesn't make sense? The Dutch leader regularly mentioned it's based on expert advice.
I'm not saying they're right/wrong, just curious why you think it doesn't make sense.
It's official; we're ending face to face lecturing with students on Friday. 22,000 students and about 1,000 staff will need to be able to work from home for what might be until the summer.
We've got the fun task of making sure everyone has a device to use at home and can access their Office 365 accounts, set up Teams, expand iLearn support and help get everyone onto remote desktops. Plus create training manuals and videos. We've been doing it for the last couple of weeks but still. Our colleagues have to make sure that the servers don't explode and they've all got the right access to shared drives. No pressure, just several thousand students wanting to graduate and not fail the year......
......feck.

Because experts have no idea about whether it's actually possible in the short term, we don't know how this virus work and one of the characterics of coronaviruses is their constent evolution. It's a speculative point, maybe it's possible, maybe it's not.
My partners grand father passed away last night with pneumonia and corona like symptoms.
They didn’t even test him for corona virus.

Good post.
I don't think it's helpful to anybody's mental health to fixate on facts, figures and potential outcomes. We all know this is serious, focussing on the outcomes has been a source of anxiety for me.
feck me. Sorry to hear that. Wish you guys the best.
sorry for your loss
Sorry for you & your partners loss. It doesn't surprise me that people aren't being tested, it's like they're trying to massage the numbers, and equally they don't have the plan to sort out testing en masse.
Sad news, my thoughts are with you both.
deepest sympathies for you and your family. this is the horrible reality a lot refuse to take serious
No difference.
Could it be that the govts are listening to scientific advice.
Anyway lets get back to cursing the British Govt as fools.
Sorry to hear that, it could be the flu. My mum is a nurse and one of her patient got a really bad case of the flu, they really thought that it was the coronavirus.
Sorry to hear that, mate. You won't be the only one here having to cope with that
Where you from, by the way?
The dutch still face the same risk then, only difference is the Dutch government as far as I know don't have a recent history of making stupid decisions.
I think this is good advice. Read through a dozen pages of this thread before going to bed last night and my mind was racing.
Doesn't help that it's all people are talking about at work too.
I try and check this thread only twice a day. Otherwise i'd just be constantly refreshing and that seems like a really, really depressing idea.

I’ve seen far too many new mums crying due to the fact there’s a lack of anything for babies. Me and the wife are trying to help as many people as we can but it’s getting harder

Getting tested today
I'm so sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you and your family.
The two strategies - China style suppression vs UK style mitigation have been modelled by MRC Centre for Global Infectious disease at Imperial. Well worth a look:
Did you meet Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, too?
