Bluenortherner Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Factories are closing every day now. The supply chain is thinning down. The 3rd world will be desperate very soon. I honestly see Europe being overwhelmed as they try to enter in their millions. It's going to get a lot worse! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A disease needlessly brought from a bat eating chinaman (or woman or whatever other genders there are these days) to our shores isn't which is why every death is needless. Maybe this disease will become a part of our lives on a yearly basis but it is not that just now so the flu comparison is just daft.

yoda Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 35 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: There are some wild timeframes being pulled out of arseholes all over and paraded as fact. "Peak in 12 weeks" being the latest. On Monday the graph from Downing Street showed an unchecked peak in April, and a flattened peak in early May. Now, 3 days later, its the end of June? Globally, approximately 389,000 deaths a year are caused by seasonal flu (with the upper range around 500,000). YTD there have been 10,000 deaths from Covid-19, and we are rapidly approaching 25% of the way through the year. How close to 389,000 / 500,000 deaths do you think we will see before the year end, and how far above 500,000 would we have to reach to not consider everything that is going on an over-reaction? There is little point in discussing mortality rates as the number of infected is unknown. The current rate of 4% is higher than reality. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/3/18/21184992/coronavirus-covid-19-flu-comparison-chart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DA Baracus Posted March 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2020 Really unsure how folk still aren't getting this. It's not about you catching the virus and being ok after a week or so. It's about loads of folk getting it at the same time, and the exponential spread of it. When we have loads of folk out of commission with the virus, even if they get better (and the vast majority will), the effects of that are wide ranging and lead on to more problems. It's a domino effect. This is about not overwhelming the NHS. They don't have the resources to cope with huge numbers getting it at the same time. This will lead to an unmanageable strain on resources. Front line staff will be fucked. Patients will die because they are not enough staff and resources to go round when huge numbers are taken ill at the same time, and for a sustained period. There will be people dying from preventable causes simply because there are not enough doctors, equipment, drugs and other resources. They won't be prioritised. This has already happened in Italy. This is about the economy. I'm not one for preserving the shit version where the folk at the top take the vast majority for themselves and f**k the rest. I'm on about the economy at all levels. Local economies will have to lose business, but the quicker we can stop the spread of the virus the less they suffer. Think of your favourite local shop, butcher, baker, pub etc. This is about jobs. People are already losing them and more pay offs or outright termination of employment will happen. But again, the quicker we can reduce the spread of the virus the better chance some businesses have of staying open or the better chance they have of not losing as much of their business or not having to downscale etc. That means less people will lose their jobs and potentially could mean more companies being in a position to hire people sooner. This also means folk have more disposal income quicker. This is about schools and education. Kids are in a tough position because of this and are having exams cancelled. It must be a really scary and uncertain time for them. The won't get the same level of education from online plans that they would in a class. Colleges and universities are the same. Then there's the issue of parents having to take time off to look after their kids. This will cost people their jobs, and they can't think of getting back in to employment until the situation is resolved. This will seriously f**k a lot of people up in a lot of ways, ranging from financial to mental, and that will hurt their kids too. We need to be thinking longer term in how we act now. Think of the consequences of what you're doing. You might get the virus and be fine. But you're then spreading it (in the 5 or however many days you have it before you feel the symptoms). And you'll spread it to folk who spread it to folk etc etc. Is that worth it for a cup of coffee or a pint? The government should be ordering a mass closure of things. If the fucking army need to be deployed in some areas (obviously select areas since they can't begin to cover even half of areas in the country) then so be it. Maybe they should be stationed at big supermarkets and told to shoot panic buyers and hoarders on sight. Also stop with the bullshit rumours. Stop posting bullshit rumours that you heard from someone who heard from someone you utter c***s. You're not helping anyone you attention seeking p***ks. You're actively stirring up panic and fear. Have a fucking thought for other people for once you self centred tossers. Here's one I can put to bed (before I myself go to bed): there will be new doctors coming in, i.e. Year 5 medical students will be graduating this year. I know this because of where I work and what I do as my job. No chance I'm expanding on that though. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
