    Don't dispute that at all. Just think that at first glance...people will think 'oh my god...globally we're much worse off than China' when actually, if you consider that it's not really a direct comparison, it's a different narrative to the graph, that's all. Anyway, I'm off for lunch and a...

    Because comparing one countries numbers (apples) is different to the sum total of every other countries numbers (oranges). If you look at one country, China, the graph reflects their journey...a steep incline and then a plateau. If you look at the rest of the world, that incline is going to...

    That makes sense though, right? The more and more countries who report their figures and get at least one case, you'd expect that sort of curve. Comparing it to China is another apples and oranges situation.

    Hope you feel better Hill. My son has had a cough since Saturday and I've got a sore throat, I assume from him. Nothing more than that though. By the sounds of it, you have it - but again, I'm no expert. I had pig flu however long ago that was and it was horrible for about 2-3 days and then...

    Damned if you, damned if you don't. It goes back to my original point. They - the govt and the scientific experts, said that we should go down a certain route. To the untrained eye (hi), their rationale seemed logical for doing so. Given the unknown nature of this, of course there's going to be...

    Coat hangers and glue, c'mon man...don't be silly. This is an engineering challenge and the UK has some of the best engineers in the world. Granted, those working from JCB are probably unlikely to be able to knock up what's required but this is probably the greatest test of national resolve in...

    Playing devils advocate...how many did they have before and as a ratio against their population? Do you know that the UK didn't already have orders in? Is our ventilators per person ration already higher than Germany? Genuinely...you or I don't know the answers to the above, so why make a big...

    Me too...as in I'm not expert and don't have a full understanding of everything that's happening. I just think that given the unknown nature of this and the advice that we're getting from the 'experts', the rationality of their thoughts makes sense. If it has/continues to go wrong, more slack...

    Piers Morgan (for all his faults) mentioned them this morning. There's talk of letting them use lower standard hotels or hostels if required. Again, logical, not sure on the practicalities of it though.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    To be fair to the politicians, this is such an unknown thing to deal with. Yes, other countries have had it before is but in the grand scheme of things, the whole situation is relatively organic and given that it's a new virus and currently doesn't have a specific treatment, a lot of what is...

    Just seen this posted by a friend on social media. Like everyone on here, I have no idea on what's the best course of action but this sounds plausible... Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
