SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)
- Thread starter Don't Kill Bill
- Start date
very trueBeen waiting for this take:
As I thought, the quarantine period is going to be extended here in Italy, and restrictions may be tightened.

Just lost a mate over this. He was in New York from Friday until yesterday, went to all the pubs he could and managed to get home late last night. Today, Snapchat of him in aldi.
what a fecking moron, and this someone I’ve gone on lads holidays with.

Same as people from all age groups. Ageism is rife on this thread. When all the over 65’s are all dead who will take the blame?
Shops here are packed full every morning, hardly anyone uses free trolley, no social distancing, just masses of people of all ages after yet another bogroll or anything they need several of in case it runs out.
Cant wait for the schools to close then there will be masses of board kids roaming the streets.
they say you are who your friends are.
When idiots organise a flash revolution.
Edit.. looks like this is a few days old before the French lockdown. They're still morons though.

The problem Italy has got is that flattening the curve, once you have already gone way past the point that healthcare systems can cope,
is simply not enough. You’re still drowning that point. I think a lot of countries will find that at some point. I do not know have far you can go with restrictions and for how long.
Nigeria now has 12 cases. 10 of them in Lagos. Think we on the verge of a catastrophe.
The country had only one case, this time last week. It had over a month to shut its borders.

Premier League suspension extended until the 30th of April
they say you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. He never was in that circle, but still... how can you be so idiotic
France could be another place to go nuts pretty quickly. They riot so readily over there.
Expected something more grandiose from the man who said there are no gay people in Iran.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm somewhat terrified of what I'll find if they do call me to the hospital.
Found the culprits behind the corona virus and yes it's a certain three letter organisation
No science is right but some science is clearly wrong. You need to have a long hard think about why our government chose the riskiest possible advice rather than listening to the scientists who have successfully tackled it in China and South Korea. The answer, as always, is bias. They liked the results so they assumed it was correct even though the assumptions were flawed at a basic level as the majority of scientists pointed out.
It's honestly really starting to grind on me, with everything going on in the country, that our employers are STILL requiring us to come in when we can completely work from home. Why are so many unnecessary risks being taken for zero value added...
Probably the need to micromanage you because I can't imagine there much financial benefit in doing so.
The UK is not China and it's not South Korea. To blindly listen to others would be a huge mistake. There is no other country with the same makeup of health services, population and cultures. And no scientist or expert you have seen in the media knows what they all are unless they are employed by the government and given access to that information, and even then some things are just an unknown. Good modelling relies on proper inputs and a constant adaptation of those inputs in response to new information. That seems to be exactly what the UK has done.
You'd be talking months to go through a trolley full, surely?
Yes, I'm in Lima but I haven't got my resident visa yet and I suspect things like that will a lot longer than usual.
I am happy to hunker down here for now. But maybe not a few months down the line if things turn ugly.
My bro in law is a very senior doctor in the NHS. He says the government has no clue or is spinning this. They are told to treat it as pneumonia but this is not pneumonia.
He says it's going to be disastrous for the UK. All should listen to what China eventually did to control it.

Does this mean he would have had it a couple of weeks without showing any symptoms or feeling ill? And now they’ve found out he’s got it. So how long do you have this before you even show any illness?
A certain % contract the illness and never show symptoms. Usual onset of symptoms is between 2-14 days with an average of around 5.2. I think there have been some outliers that have taken longer but they seem to be very rare.
On average around 5 days but the problem is that a lot of people who are infected don't even show any symptons at all so there's no way to know without testing.
13.3k tested in India so far (not including today).
Anywhere I can check this up against figures from other countries? Looks quite low.
Managed to find some pasta and toilet paper in a shop near me, not that I needed any so I left it.
Lucky too, as it turns out they were charging £5 for a pack of four and the owner was arguing with a customer about it. He seemed genuine saying most smaller suppliers have marked everything up ridiculous prices and that he has been not putting the price up himself, but now has to or simply not stock it. I'm not sure how true that is, but I wouldn't doubt it for a second there's many pocketing off of this.

Yeah but my point is that the old are the ones we’re trying to protect but they are out going to pubs, churches, bowls etc
Some is, you're right. But I would say 95% isn't in the UK at least
This is the kind of brutality I can get behind
So after the president national press conference yesterday.
Some old fuddy duddy decided to take the bins out after 8pm.

Base Rate down to 0.1 %.
We certainly do live in interesting and unique times.

So it’s been a few weeks since this man came back, he’s likely to be one of the % that doesn’t show or have any symptoms. But he would have infected his wife when he got back but it’s been a couple of weeks and until she shows symptoms? (I don’t know if she even has)
It’s so strange and scary at the same time.
Anyone know the percentage of people who catches this without ever knowing or showing symptoms ? How can you have a virus come and go without even knowing about it!?
This recent Forbes article mentions 17.9% show no symptons, don't know how accurate that is or if the sample size is big enough but it's definitely a significant part, I'd say.
I'm by no means an expert so can't answer your second question with any certainty but I'd guess that the body of young people produces antibodies quickly enough so that you don't get sick / show symptons.

One big family, 3 died and another 3 in critical condition. No underlying conditions. What am I missing here?
