News coming out today not so positive though. They are now fearing a second wave.

true it’s a more reserved society but I’m not convinced it’s the only reason. I’ve been to Japan many times and often hve to take the subway during rush hour - which usually means being jammed into sardine like carriages by staff members who are literally pushing passengers in through the doors...

Yeah you're right - Fact #1 not adding up for a start! Twice a year, the World Health Organization (WHO) organizes a consultation with the Directors of the WHO Collaborating Centers, essential regulatory laboratories and representatives of key national laboratories and academies. They review...

For a start the UK population is only 60m. Secondly, 1% of 100m is 1m!

Met him last year at a conference in Singapore, smart guy, talks a lot of sense. I'd be more inclined to believe him than some of the so called experts we've heard from over the last few days!

More egg spurt than expert...

Shits got real. Hope it all works out for you both. Stay safe and healthy!

Out of interest how long you been there - there for work or live permanently? I have family in the north - Milan area and also the south. Safe to say they’re all very anxious.

I’m pleased you’ve had good experiences of it, really. Italy’s health system though is organised and funded by region - think it’s 15 regions or something like that. It’s the very definition of a postcode lottery as to how good your health care experience will be. Hope you continue to see the...

Fair enough I respect your opinion, I have the opposite opinion though, as do many many members of my family who live there!

Apologies if already posted elsewhere - not a short article but the author puts forward some quite compelling numbers on the need for social distancing sooner rather than later...

Everything will go back to normal. The worlds population will be tens of thousands less, a vaccine will be developed and then everyone will forget about it until the next pandemic in 10, 20 (insert your own number here) years time!!

Void the season. Scrap the transfer window for August meaning squads have to remain the same for next season. Then sit back, relax and watch as we go the whole season unbeaten!

Completely and unnecessarily so. Only adds fuel to a fire which is already out of control.

Agree on that point at least

Why oh why did they tell people they’d modelled an 80% infection rate? It’s NOT going to happen. Does anyone seriously believe they’d let it get to the stage where 48 MILLION people were infected? Utter nonsense.

I was taking that article quite seriously until I saw the line stating that Italy’s health system is “one of the best in Europe”!!! Seriously where do they get these reporters from???

They will have no choice but to cancel any non-urgent treatment - Firstly to allow all available resources to be diverted to treating the virus, and secondly to protect their own staff - imagine the situation if they needlessly endangered doctors and nurses...

In my humble opinion yes. Much worse.

Relatively yes they’re better than their southern counterparts. In absolute terms compared with Western Europe it’s shite. Pity as Italy has some very gifted doctors but organised or efficient the health system is not.
