No mirrorsThe gyms quiet. Only 3 of us here. Not even any fanny to look at.
No chance it was just seasonal flu?I was ill as fuck before Christmas off work for a week with the flu, i had every symptom of the Corona virus so im sure it was going round before then
Well the alternative is to be a bed better.
My wife knew co-workers and customers who had a bug around Christmas which she is now convinced was this virus due to the similarity of the symptoms they experienced. A few ended up in A and E with respistory issues.
Damn spelling lolNo chance it was just seasonal flu?
My sister's symptoms were similar and she was tested for just about everything multiple times. I'm not sure if they tested for this virus or not but think it would be odd if they hadn't, especially given that Leicester is one of the main hospitals carrying out these tests and they had lots off microbiologist opinion on it. She died in 29 January but had been ill really since Christmas.
So why won't you answer one simple question?
What does a lowering of the curve look like?

Only if you don't understand it, but I think the graph topic has been done now.
THe conclusions are clear:
1. You thought the govt was right and herd immunity was a brilliant idea= graph is shit, I don't like it, I can't read it, I don't understand it wah wah
2. Everyone else= its just a graph, can be useful if you 'get' it, if not then whatever, its just a graph.

Can we stop with this herd immunity misinformation. It’s still a part of the wider plan (as it was) and has got to be, until a vaccine is found, but the government/advisors were talking about flattening the curve/peak for weeks in conjunction with it.
I attached the fact check in relation to misinformation previously about Johnsons saying ‘lets take it on the chin’ in an interview with Schofield on 5 March (which indicates the position on this was to flatten the curve)
Here is the transcript of what Boris Johnson said on This Morning about the new coronavirus
The ‘change’ was the acceleration/escalation of the measures which were always planned depending on where we were on the curve. We had to jump from about a 2 to a 7 (out of 10) pretty much overnight due to the remodelling, increased spread and anticipated need for NHS/critical care.
We are now pretty much implementing the same methods as everyone else even though we are still a bit behind on numbers (reason for us being behind was at least partially to how we dealt with the virus at the outbreak - trace and track, self isolate and don’t go to doctors - call 111), to minimise the strain on the NHS. The plan, I guess, was we could’ve gone through these levels more gradually and in a controlled way.
I agree that better/regular testing would’ve maybe spotted the increase on the curve/spike a bit sooner but to suggest these measures weren’t always in the table/likely because of the ‘herd immunity’ theory is incorrect
I had similar in late January, never felt so ill my chest cavity was aching and felt like It wasI have asthma couple months back I was down the walk in 3 times with a bad cough I could not clear antibiotics didn’t clear either did steroid tablets they said it was bronchitis but they wasn’t exactly sure made me wonder was it this virus we just don’t know like you say many would of had it and not known
The curve won't lower as the deaths are cumulative, it will flatten off. It's logarithmic, so the scale is bigger at the top end and will be harder to see if it's levelling off at high numbers on a logarithmic graph.
I find this site useful for raw data. Also has some graphs at individual country level which you can view as either logarithmic or linear.

No because it's a skewed information source. The point is show the authors preconceived conclusion.Sorry but you really have missed the point of the chart.
I'm sure everyone else is fed up of hearing the arguments about scales so I will keep posting the updates but won't respond to any more queries/arguments about the scale
David, let's look at my name on here for the past 6 years and use that as a clue to where I am. Now Saudi Arabia is on total lockdown. That's means no international flights in or out David.
Finally my work place has said that there is no work so stay at home. I can't leave the country and I can't work. Just how exciting is that for me to make up?
You seem like an intelligent chap(stop sniggering at the back)
Which ??The gyms quiet. Only 3 of us here. Not even any fanny to look at.

My ex’s union are saying full pay.
Yep I absolutely get that part of course.You can’t compare country by country without a logarithmic scale, the differences are too big, you’d only be able to make out China and Italy.
Ignore him, he's a born fantasist. I would be surprised that instead of living Irdland he is Nigel from Camp Hill.Ah OK Mr keyboard warrior.
Why not explain where we have gine wrong?
Why not explain what a downwards curve is? After all that is the use if a graph.
But no. You hide behind a keyboard and try to be a bully. Well done.
Problem is Steve multiple sources have confirmed that we changed plans.
There are a few theories suggesting that China had delayed news of the outbreak and that it's likely that the Coronavirus could have first cropped up around October time - two months prior to when China first announced the outbreak.
Yep I absolutely get that part of course.
Finally, we also are where we are. We are currently in a situation where people are ignoring government advice; going to pubs, socialising, panic buying etc which I believe will ultimately lead to a lock down. Do I think the government planned or want a lock down, no, but they are probably going to have to use it as a measure
Yes and U turn but listen back to the interviews (or even just the one on the 5 March), how do you flatten the peak/curve without these measures ?
Unfortunately there are plenty of *people who just want to be proved right rather than just looking at the facts and dealing with what’s happening now
* I’m not talking about people on this site, I’m talking about the professionals !
As long as they keep making me go in I will go to the pub and restaurants. Frankly I’m mixing with more people in school
Same as me. I work in a factory with hundreds of others. Its ridiculous.As long as they keep making me go in I will go to the pub and restaurants. Frankly I’m mixing with more people in school

No one has said they have u turned from inside the department of health. They always said they would intervene but only at what they saw as the best ultima to do so. The interviews are still online but sadly weirdos like smeee and ring sting have to be seen to be correct.Yes and U turn but listen back to the interviews (or even just the one on the 5 March), how do you flatten the peak/curve without these measures ?
