Bairnardo Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Is there actually any point in publishing the numbers of deaths to the general public? Why bother?Think maybe to keep the seriousness of it at the forefront of folks minds? We have seen already how littlenconvincing folk take to dismiss all required measures and do wot the f**k they want instead. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s important for us to know how the virus is progressing and how successful we are being by self isolating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think there would be an understandable outcry if the death rate and infection rate was withheld. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Passing between family members within the same house ? How is that even possible with a 3 week lockdown? Surely the deceased haven’t been infected since BEFORE lockdown? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is never going to go away fully until measures like this are put in place Any UK resident stll abroad shouldn't be given any leeway. The FCO advised against all but essential travel on the 16th of March. It also advised all UK nationals to return. If you are still abroad now it's your own fault if the border is closed to you. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives people hope when it does down. Annoyingly most major media outlets are using confirmed cases as the sum total of people who have the virus. It is mob mentality, clickbait shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Average time from infection to showing symptoms is 11 days. Median time from becoming symptomatic until death is 8 days. Well that's cheered me up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Pretty certain 90% of Ayrshire would manage just fine. There’s been no toilet roll for weeks and folk seem to be doing a “big shop” every other day When I scanned that first, I thought that you said "folk seem to be doing a big shit every other day" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
