If there is an outbreak in the south, it could be bimodal, two overlapping humps. Is there a breakdown of North v South deaths over time anywhere?

Remember the topic of this thread?

EFL statement: Coronavirus update

Now suspended until 30th April. Still to decide what to do.

Edit: @Nick can we update the thread title?

From a uk perspective the key to me is how many are in London and how much escalation is there. No one - including Khan - want to face the inevitable that London should be locked down and really should have been a week ago

I can’t understand why they didn’t stagger the lockdown starting with London.

Yeah, though my worry is London involves people from everywhere coming in and out, you can’t shut down finance, government, plus essential services so there’s always going to be a lot of people and movement (another reason to decentralise the economy: resilience). But agreed that far more than has been done needs doing.

They tried that here and it led to people from the south flocking there once it got leaked.

yes that’s what they meant and what I should have clarified- they were talking about the world. $2.5 trillion needed immediately by developing nations they said.

For those wondering earlier about the regions in Italy where the virus is, here you go - In Italia 86.498 casi. In 24 ore altri 969 morti: è il numero più alto dall’inizio dell’emergenza

My thoughts are with Italy. The amount of new cases continuing is frightening.

Makes you wonder how bad it really is here.

Well the fact we are building temporary hospitals in London, Birmingham and Manchester, all three holding thousands of patients might tell us.

IMF saying that we are now in recession and it will be longer and deeper than in 2009.

quite the good news day...

Looking for positives... if the police now have the power to break up groups, how about they start with Coldplay

I'm hoping IMF said we are heading for a
recession, as it requires two successive quarters of negative growth. Of course, most major nation's will go into recession during 2020!

I would be very surprised if it wasn't a global depression.m
Not enough liquidity in the general population to pull through this situation and government bail outs stopping all post virus stimulus funds.
I wonder if the U.K. Population will regenerate itself or implode?

unfortunately not

IMF chief says the global economy is already stuck in a coronavirus-fueled recession — and only a coordinated worldwide effort will save it

I actually thing it might help us post Brexit in that the whole world will be in a unique economical position and not just us

Im also certain that Johnson or anyone else will dare put up the NHS as part of a US trade deal no matter how much pressure trump and his cronies put on them

Main thing now though is get through this with the least deaths possible

The 21 year old from the other day was not coronavirus related, the coroner listed it as coronavirus related as she had a cough. The cause was tragically a heart attack and no coronavirus test was administered.

This time the very wealthy are going to have to take the hit, that's why I cringe seeing the chancellor propping up companies often owned by the various type of funds that just extract money from the real economy. Investing isn't risk free and they need to learn that lesson.

Looks like three games a week behind closed doors to start is the preferred option but some don’t like it.

As a one off 3 games over 5 days isn’t too bad to return to a normalish schedule. The Christmas period is the same and players would have had a month or two off

Boeing have come out and said that they don't really need the money, but want it anyway. They'll probably get it too.

It is good that they are planning for what could at least happen. But would expect it to happen in and around London.

Better to get them ready now and not need them than wait until the demand is there and have nothing.

I think any big city is at risk hence planning for similar in Birmingham and London. They really should have closed London off and now the rest of the country will pay for them not having done so.

It's more contingency planning than the expect it to get as bad as italy. Iralies issue was the lack of ICU capacity. They are increasing this fir the NHS
