Worries about the Coronavirus 29

Last thread about to finish.
(Long time Lurker)

Obviously we are the orange line and Italy is the yellow one

John Innes the virologist is very good.

Oakmaiden - that is very scary

FFS the least they can do is respect the people and show up on time. This is making me irrationally angry.
As if we don't have anything to worry about.

I keep this spreadsheet up to date, based on the daily figures. You can also pull it off the wikipedia entry here, which then breaks down on day to day figures for each country.

Schools in northern island closing from 5pm today

Schools in NI to close to pupils today. Teachers in school for 2 more days.

I meant Northern Ireland not island 😆

Agreed

Breaking news

Ocado has closed website until Saturday

@Oakmaiden That looks pretty much identical!

I think he will bow to pressure and shut schools. But nothing else. And that's not enough imo. We really need lock down now.

In care home news, 2 more staff off sick.
Struggling to get enough food in supermarkets to feed 20 people as there is nothing left on shelves.

Ocado have now shut down their website til Saturday

Perhaps Boris has locked himself in the loo.

Thankyou all for the graphs and charts, very helpful to see.
Helpful but terrifying at the same time

Italy reports 4,207 new COVID19 cases and 475 new deaths. Total now 37,513 coronavirus infections in the country and 2,978.

Thanks for graph @nellodee very useful

Stephen McDonell - 'There’s been an announcement that roadblocks within #Hubei Province to be removed as the coronavirus emergency continues to stabilise there. The exception is #Wuhan city which remains cut off. Also you can’t leave or enter Hubei yet.'

Well done Chelsea!

Jesus Italy 😕

BBC were saying they think London is some weeks ahead of rest of the UK.

It's too late for a lock down to achieve anything apart from people getting trapped in built up places

Italy 😢😢😢😢😢😢

You know what's annoying me about that Imperial College report? This was about the research that the govt based it's original response on. Not only did they totally get it wrong by using intensive care usage rates from a totally different virus (so yes, we all DID know better than the experts, thank you very much!).

@nellodee Can you point me to where you found that? The estimates in the Imperial paper for critical care bed requirements all seem to be based on data for COVID-19, according to the references.
