I regret saying what I said but theres an element of truth in the way society seems to live hand to mouth. I'm not looking forward to possibly losing wages either. Its nobodies fault apart from the government who could and should have shut down travel and big events weeks ago. Maybe you could pull yourself up by your bootstraps, study to better yourself and get a better job where you get full sick pay? Only yourself to blame. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 There's only two places that have had mass infections - Hubei and northern Italy. In both places the health system has buckled and the death rate is way higher than elsewhere. That's mainly because there simply aren't enough ventilators to keep large numbers of critical cases alive. It might still be a low rate, as we don't know how many asymptomatic or mild cases have gone undiagnosed, but any number at the moment is pretty much speculation.Only people with symptoms will report and maybe only some of them will get tested.It is reassuring that the vast majority of uk tests are negative as I'm assuming that all these people are symptomatic.If we get a mass outbreak then the nhs or any system will not be able to cope.Surely the common sense thing would have been to implement social distancing as soon as the Italian spread started?Instead we have let people from an infected hotspot travel to liverpool and go to pubs and a game.Why wait until the number of cases mean that theres no more beds before doing anything?I cant understand the thinking other than economic reasons. Surely it better to have 600 cases rather than 6000?Why would the rate here not increase in the same way as italy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Thoughts and prayers. I hope you have access to some sort of excellent sports broadcasting service. Good luck.f**k off with your thoughts and prayers ;-)It’s just the first step of the screening process here. I assume as it is a respiratory virus and my job involves a great deal of travel and my travel history is quite extensive, I fall into a demographic.Reckon, I’ll be back to normal by next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staggy1929 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 It seems the UK is being reactive rather than proactive in regards to this, which is absolutely not ideal. Social distancing, working from home and events being banned will all be done when it's too late to stop a mass spread. should've been done as soon as there was 100 cases here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight minge Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'll not be exchanging messages with you again! No time mentioned - I assume you will be spinning this out as long as possible. Think it was your message that contained the virus!Yes, the ME contains all the real info (and all my personal data). Off work now until next week, when I have to get further checks if it has not improved.Can someone start a gofundme page to fly me home and get Branson on the dog and bone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need cooperation from the public for these things to work, police can't keep everyone a minimum of 1 metre apart. If you start it too early people will start getting complacent and ignore the advice. Stage one was to isolate first cases and track down all their contacts. Stage 2 is when it's spread into the general population, which is where we are getting to now. The more draconian measures mean hundreds of thousands of people losing their livelihoods, you want this stage to be as brief as possible. There's always the need to balance risk, for instance shutting down public transport would seem a good idea, but then how will hospital staff get to work?

I wonder why each country wants to reinvent the wheel over measures to be taken - we should/ must learn from the experiences of those who experienced this before us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
