Just heard mayor khan saying he’s had access to same senior medical advisors as the government and agrees with the steps they are currently taking

Codogno, a town in northern Italy, is the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

But the town's mayor, Francesco Passerini, has said the number of new infections is steadily decreasing, and that this gives him "hope" they can defeat the virus.

"We are close to zero growth," he told Corriere newspaper (in Italian).


@Sick Boy Italian city from the bbc website! Positive news...was it bad there?

It’s because it hasn’t reached the rate of doubling - despite silly graphs that’s what the actual experts say and our levels of outbreak are still at a much lower level

The Italian data is bizarre you’d have to conclude the real infection levels were much higher than their governments official numbers

Was due to fly to India on the 10th April. They've stopped foreign tourists entering until the 15th April so won't be going now.

I'm surprised considering the size and the number of cases (only 70 odd). Either India are being very risk adverse or the UK aren't taking this as seriously as they should be...

Considering they have a population of over a billion, its probably to try and stop a mass spread

India will be very concerned as their infrastructure and general poverty would cause this to spread like wildfire

No it’s a cross species contamination in a confined area where humans have no immunity

I didn't see that bit about public events.

It was a very bizarre speech- Varadkar made the announcement from Washington while preparing for the St Patricks Day parade (?), and was talking as if he was preparing for war- "we will prevail"

As you said it was one of the epicentres and one of the original lockdown zones but it is actually a small town so not sure how it would compared to a large city like Milano.

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.

I just got 'the call', I'm working from home from now.

With 2 kids running around and shit wifi.

There is panic over here- understandable obviously but not helping anything.

Boris Johnson says he WON'T ban mass gatherings or close schools in fight against coronavirus as health experts say government plan is to LET the disease spread slowly through UK so the country gets 'herd immunity'

Risky

You have to bear in mind that the UK is now obsessed with eugenics, and this is just a byproduct of that.

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.

But don't forget Boris actually came out and said that recently, they there was an option to take "no draconian action" and just let it make its way through society, seems thats the way he's going. All in line with the new way they view the world, based on eugenics.

You do realise this is the view of the uk medical experts and the WHO spokes person last night fully supported the uk stance?

If you can't stop something, surely there's a good argument for letting it do its thing, and working instead to try and make sure it doesn't overwhelm the health service.

Otherwise aren't you just delaying the inevitable? People can't stay inside forever.

We will be locked down when the cases start the same pattern as the countries that have. Our rates are lower and the belief is once you lock down you’ve really only got a two week window - we will reach this in about 3 weeks
