I was only joking about hoping not to be allowed back, the reality is a massive pain in the arse. I'll probably head to the border then hitchhike into Italy. Good luck whatever you do, difficult times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was hardly any left and the shelves had signs saying “maximum 2 items per customer.” Ridiculous. Sounds sensible. How many did you need? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headline numbers are just those positively tested and you can likely add another 30-40% on top of those that are mild/asymptomatic. Which is worrying as the incubation period is fairly long and you are infectious whilst incubating so it can spread quite readily.

If the Italian states are to be believed then the death rates is around 5%. That's significant and suggests it is dangerous - or at least to people with complications. No developed country should be accepting that sort of hit rate on its citizens. However, the Italian data may be unreliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the number of people from elsewhere coming back from Italy infected, their numbers are not possible at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
