Fat face have closed their stores.

My brain still won't compute all this at all. I'm cocooned at home which might be influencing that as I can't see beyond my windows.

It doesn't seem real.

LBC News - 'Two more people have died in Wales after contracting COVID-19.'

DaisyDoo09 · 21/03/2020 16:25

Is there any reason why the numbers are later yesterday and today ?

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:28

My friend says the death rate in San Marino is very high, more than 12% and he thinks it gives some support to the theory that the virus might have suffered a mutation in Italy.

@Angryrant55
It just keeps climbing and climbing. When is it going to reach its peak?
Feels so hopeless

'Netherlands has to move 500 to 700 patients out of Brabant to other parts of the country.'

We need various ways to communicate this message

Clear graphics and a chart. Some of sort of clear poster. Illustrating infection spread. And then picture of real person in intensive care.

Propaganda?

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:32

Lombardy case peak should be very soon but the death peak might be sometime next week.

I'm so happy shopa are closing. My 65 year old mum works in one and I hate that she's still going 😢

ofwarren · 21/03/2020 16:34

What's the most terrifying is that this is coming. We are getting a view into the future.
I can't even get my head round that, even though rationally I know that's what's happening.

CrunchyCarrot · 21/03/2020 16:35

Have we had Italy's death tally for today yet? I have 4032 - was that yesterday's? My head is scrambled. Have been extending my table with Italy vs UK deaths. Similar to the one someone posted above but with the latest days.

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:36

the figures from italy come at 5pm - and always comes at same time.

CrunchyCarrot · 21/03/2020 16:37

Thanks Angryrant. Not long to wait.

My MIL said a little earlier today 'oh it's ok in Shropshire, we've only had 2 cases'. headdesk

VivaLeBeaver · 21/03/2020 16:38

Africa has over 1000 cases now. Obviously that’s a big continent but do the countries involved have the ability to stop the spread?

ofwarren · 21/03/2020 16:40

Surely the world is going to have to stop flights for a while? When the likes of China arent getting any cases but the rest of the world have not even reached their peak, how can you stop transmission from travellers?

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:41

Allie Hodgkins-Brown - 'Two more people have died in Wales after contracting coronavirus - brings the total number of deaths there to five.'

“The Chief Medical Officer has confirmed that the patients were a 75 year old who died at Singleton Hospital, and a 98 year old who died at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. Both patients had underlying health conditions.

Singleton is in Swansea and Ysbyty Glan Clwyd near Rhyl.

unlikely.
plus many countries are major food exporters.

CrunchyCarrot · 21/03/2020 16:42

I think countries like Africa and India to name but two could develop a terrifying number of cases, due to areas where people live so much on top of each other. They're behind us but I don't think they have the facilities if things get bad there. I just hope the developed nations will have enough equipment and expertise left to be able to help them.

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:43

I think global flights will mostly cease permently - only a few people will travel. The era of tourism is dead forever.

Angryrant55 · 21/03/2020 16:44

South Africa will fall apart - lots of hiv or aids suffers there often without the vital meds used in the uk.

ofwarren · 21/03/2020 16:45

UPDATE on #COVIDー19 testing in the UK:

Today's figures will be published later today.

We are working hard to provide you with the latest information and will tweet this out as soon as possible.

MarshaBradyo · 21/03/2020 16:46

Yes friend from South Africa said borders clamped early due to that issue - hiv etc
