The problem Italy has is the concentrated area of infection overwhelmed the health service so they were forced to take drastic measures to be fair to them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Of course the data is full of variables but all you can do is estimate from the official data. As I said the other day this period from dozens of confirmed cases to a thousand is instructive because you’ve gone from a chance to contain it to it being out in the community and growing...

You said Italy has a 22% growth rate when I said ours is ~25% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everyone saying the season won’t be declared void because of legal action. Whatever the outcome there will be clubs who want to take legal action so you can’t use it as justification for an outcome that is in our favour. The leagues will ensure they are safe from legal action whatever decision...

Bit of a child aren’t you? Maybe if you weren’t so welded to graph etiquette you might be able to interpret data and put it to use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not my graphs, just trying to show how the situation is changing. Turned out I was right, even Grendel started to reluctantly admit we now have the same growth rate as Italy based on the available data. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you still seething because you couldn’t look at two different scales to estimate rate of change? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If there are contingency plans then we should hear something soon. But based on the fact virtually no organisation or business seems to have a plan I suspect nobody really considered this possibility... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An anecdotal story... friends of the in-laws recently returned from holiday and believed they were suffering from the virus. Got so bad one of them was struggling to breath to the extent they called an ambulance. The ambulance refused to come out. They tried again later and requested a test...

I said this yesterday. The plan won’t survive contact with reality and within days the actions they said were weeks away would be happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Going to keep putting money in at low levels but think the economic effects will last most of the year so not expecting to be even back to previous levels for some time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

A bull market or back to previous levels? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Certainly the overarching idea seems sound but is high risk and is going to come under immense public pressure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I think all options would be discussed but I think he’d have a lot of sway in a meeting. BJ, in some ways, has no idea and no motive. Absolutely agree “herd mentality” was an accident and was mentioned by one of the scientists. As that seeps into public consciousness the reaction will only...

Blimey that adds an awkward complication, would you include those games or not? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve no doubt they’re acting on the advice given but so is every other country and nobody has adopted our strategy. As I said I’m a previous post, it may be proved to be the right strategy in the long term but that doesn’t mean it’s political prudent. I don’t think there are political...

Fair response. I do wonder if there’s some truth in it though, hear me out. Our strategy is very unorthodox. From a pure logic and medical perspective our plan seems a good idea but it’s likely to be a disaster politically and is buckling already (see major events and sports being cancelled)...
