Tbf she’s got me believing it The problem with that is how does the virus know which border to cross and which ones to avoid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy overtook China's number of deaths six days ago, now they have more than double. The Italian total just went up by 10% in one day. I think some people need to look out their Standard Grade maths textbooks and read up on compound interest. We are at 20,000 deaths just now. If we add 3,980,000 to that in the next 6 days i will eat my hat. Italy have hovered around the same total for the last five days. I think it's fair now to suggest this may be the peak of their death curve, and will likely hang there a few more days before starting to drop off by the start of next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like that eugenicist chappie that Cummings hired and was forced to sack a couple of days later? Lets hope that's just hopeful thinking. The thing that disgusts me today is the market for PPE and ventilators, States in America competing against each other and the Federal government, the UK competing against the EU, f**k knows how third world countries are going to get anything. Some c***s must be raking it in. Edited March 25, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries Country by country graphs of cumulative and daily new cases and deaths here. In terms of new cases, Germany and Italy seeming to have started to flatten / reduce the curve for both. Italian deaths levelling out, with Germany still in the upward curve. UK still going up for both. Not surprising given noone seems to be taking the PM's direction seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 James Dornan MSP for Glasgow Cathcart, phoned the police today to report that Weatherspoons in Shawlands was still open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Also mentioned on the news earlier the peak is expected sometime next month. If lockdown measures are adhered to then this seems reasonably realistic. It's also a huge diversion away from "late June" that was being banded about as recently as the start of next week. Such guesses are unhelpful as if people think they will be stuck at home for 3 months they are less inclined to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DA Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Any idea why England's daily figures aren't out yet? Scotland, NI and Wales have got their numbers in but not England.
