Then come here to see how many 50 year old who have a completely normal life go to ICU everyday for this fucking thing. Average obituaries pages for obituary on L'Eco di Bergamo is 2 pages; now it is 10 pages everyday. I see deaths everyday around me and I'm really tired of people who are not in the middle of hell and still make judgements. And God, I don't wish on anyone what we are enduring. I am man enough to eat my words, we shall see what happens here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're at the very foothills of the epidemic...... We could be at several thousand deaths a week from this thing in a matter of week. And people like you trying to brush it off as nothing, still going into work with a high temperature and cough are responsible for increasing those deaths by giving it to people with underlying health conditions. British selfishness astounds me. It's not about you, for once; it's about the people your spreading a deadly virus too... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sick death of people taking this piss out of a policy that could save mine and tens of thousand of other people like me's lives. If and when self-isolation comes in, I just hope to god people actually follow it. Not make the most of the free time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like the virus is going to disappear, it is going to stick around now like the flu. When isolation is over, it won't spread like it has, right? I'm not convinced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will, but until there's a vaccine nothing is going to stop it spreading. And statistics show that the vast majority of people survive it. It's no good pointing the finger at anyone, nobody is to blame for this virus. Conspiracy theories aside. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,140 Posted March 14, 2020 It will undoubtedly get worse before it gets better. But I think the percentage of deaths is probably much lower than it seems as there must be many people who are either asymptomatic or only mildly affected, and are therefore not included in the stats. I'm not sure how they can arrive at a figure here anyway, now they are telling people just to stay home if they have any symptoms and not to ring 111. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is that it isn't going to stay at 10 confirmed coronavirus deaths per day. We're about 2 weeks off the current Italian situation of 250 per day (1750 extra per week). Plus whatever the unconfirmed total is, plus whatever deaths occur from lack of the usual resources to treat every single other health condition. Wouldn't be surprised if total uk weekly mortality was around 14 or 15k rather than 11k by the end of the month, overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
