D.A.F.C Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just want to apologise for the crass comments earlier in this thread.Basically I know if either of my parents gets this then its extremely likely that's it.I read about the italian situation and went a bit hysterical that the uk wasnt stopping people going to work. Obviously if people could afford to they wouldn't go, it's not their fault and having a go was out of order.It was just utter nonsense from me and I was panicking and looking for someone to blame for everything.I hope everyone on here gets through this and that their loved ones are all ok.Dropped of some messages for them tonight and thought that could be the last time I see them. Just wish there was some way of helping but it seems a bit like an inevitability that cases will increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The numbers are pretty terrifying. The experts in the press conference understandably didn't want to give a headline number of how many will die, but some basic calculations gives you their number going by their own figures. UK population 66 million. They agreed with Merkel's statement that 70% will get infected, and that their upper estimate was actually more like 80%. And they were very confident that the death rate is 1%. So 46 million will be infected if we go with the more conservative 70% figure, 1% of that is 462,000 deaths. That's not factoring people who may die from the knock-on effect of other healthcare services being affected. Plus the significant economic impacts. Then apply similar figures to other countries around the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world health organisation have said that dogs aren't able to catch the virus and they needn't be quarantined. So.....WHO let the dogs out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netan Sansara Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 That’s my work moved to working from home until April at the earliest. Seems to be a rarity still in Berlin, we’re taking it more serious than others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should have worked harder and saved more, then you could get the best in private health care for them rather than just expecting the NHS to sort them out. c**t 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
