Self isolate for 7 days if you’ve got a new cough or a fever

FTSE down largest amount since 2008 apparently.

Not much by the looks of it: Germany: Coronavirus Crisis Leads to More Restrictions, Closures and Cancellations Few closures and advice to the public but nothing large scale. I found this interesting, the grey bars are “true cases” in hindsight and the orange are reported cases in China...

This is a novel worldwide threat, I think all the data we can get our hands on is a good thing right now. The media report it because, as this 35 page thread shows, people are interested.

Well we now know Marosi’s favoured option:

Sic? Edit: Sic.

If that happens I’ll personally start the crowd funder for Joy to sick her legal team on the EFL.

... We do record those stats?

Not here at least. We only test if you’ve been to a hotspot or met a confirmed case, and are showing symptoms. Wales do drive thru testing but you still have to be told to do it, you can’t grab a coffee and a test on your lunchbreak Would be good to see testing rates compared to other countries...

134 in a day is 536 every four days, which basically doubles it as it has been doing. Extrapolating forward you’d guess we’d hit Italy levels in 3 and a bit doublings, or just under 12 days.

Something I was reading was saying that because symptoms are so mild in children they don’t often get tested and show up as a lower incidence rate in many stats but apparently if you look at some countries that have done extensive testing it shows children get it at the same rate as the rest of...

You’re all over the place as usual. We are discussing medical advice and when to put in social distancing measures not economic relief after the fact. Look at most European countries with a similar infection rate to us, we are definitely the outlier. Time will tell if that’s wise.

You think lockdown in China didn’t do anything?

I think the problem is there’s very much two schools of thought among medical experts. And most countries seem to be going with the other one.

Counter argument here is that you flood the healthcare system to the point it can’t handle it, the virus mutates and reinfects people and more vulnerable people die. We are about to find out what happens when the measures are lifted looking at China, but it seems we are gambling on as you say...

Same old Tories.

Not daft at all, it’s WHO advice: Stop touching cash! WHO officials warn that coronavirus can spread through handling money | Daily Mail Online And also cause of a thousand conspiracy theories (they want to track your payments man)

That makes literally no sense. You can’t get herd immunity without a vaccine. That’s just letting it do it’s thing. Must be misreported.

Yeah, I’m really lucky she’ll be off at the same time because otherwise I’d have to ask my parents (70+) which doesn’t sound like a great idea, or take unpaid leave from work. Which my landlord wouldn’t like. Just hope we get a work from home order but not everyone can do that.
