Worrying , but that may represent a % of the most severely affected while many are undiscovered or walking it off , nevertheless it will have a huge impact . It will become apparent over the next week if this is worthy of the Chinese reaction .

WHO said that wasn't the case in China. They didn't find any evidence of a hidden Iceberg of patients. Obviously can't be sure, but that would not be a good sign for hospitalisation rates.

No true. Bruce Aylward from WHO knocked that on the head already. There is no vast amount of mild symptoms undetected. They hoped there was.

The 80/16/4 ratio are pretty exact.

And he warned the CFR would be higher in the west.

Only widespread antibody testing will tell us that, but the possibility is alarming.

As are the multiple reports of either relapse or reinfection.

This thread is going faster than a speeding bullet. There's no way posters can keep up.
So chill a bit.

A scary thing about the figures from Iran (even the official ones, never mind the ones now being reported) is that there doesn't seem to have been any attempt to close mosques so there will have been crowds getting together all day for Friday prayers. That's a real boost to opportunities for infection.

It's Friday!

When the experts speak of a mild illness, their definition may be different to a patient’s. Mild, of course, means you don’t require hospital admission, but got anybody who has suffered an Influenza virus illness and weathered it out at home, it has taken a few weeks out of their lives, it has rendered them unfit for anything but bed for up to a week, it had probably caused a post-acute-phase depression, it has taken them out of work for at least two weeks or more if job involves caring for vulnerable people, being a pilot, and other jobs where concentration is critical.

Going on past experience of influenza and what I’m hearing, even a “mild” episode of Covid-19 will render you rather unwell, and unable to work or do many of your normal responsibilities for up to a month. Between falling ill, going through the phase of being rather unwell, self-isolation, and recovering strength, it will take a minimum of 3 and probably more weeks before re-participating in society. That’s a month out of life for up to half the population, if it does its worst on society, which is no joke. Quite apart from those who will not survive and those who survive with damage to vital organs.

And the Canadian government is no longer going to pay for their security costs.
I wonder if they're going to do some Fergie-type money-earners, the embarrassment of the rest of the royal family should provide us all with a laugh if so.

I disagree, billions have been thrown at it, but intransigent Unions and inefficient management are the root cause IMO.

Hope all hsp stay safe, they do a great job as individuals/teams.

It ll be the real litmus test if it breaks out proper here, cant knock the staff just not enough to go round.I mean they were already stretched before this imagine what it will be like with a proper out break.

Billions spent not a whole pile to show for it.

Iran recently had a General Election and mass political rallies, seems like the damage is already done there.

Yes. Italy returning to normal. Once a country gets over a few hundred diagnosed cases, it just gets back to normal :



"In Italy, meanwhile, authorities announced they were planning to reopen schools and museums in some of the areas less hard-hit by the coronavirus outbreak, with even the hardest hit regions Lombardy and Veneto in the north leaning toward opening schools as well.

“The aim is to return to normalcy,’’ the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia, told state TV in an interview noting that it was an area where tourism was the biggest source of income, bringing in $18bn annually."
