They should infect all the teams. Level the playing field.

I'd expect the mortality rate to pan out at around the 1% mark over time - similar to the normal flu.

Fun Fact: Around 1% of the population die ever year.

If this were true for Italy, for example then with their 1,200 dead, then their number of cases will have to go from 15k known to 120k, with no further deaths. It might happen (it might already be the case as many don't know they are infected) , but I think the true death rate is higher than 1%

Also the normal death rate assumes everyone can be treated, if they can't due to resources (which is already the case) it will be much higher.

this type of hysteria is ridiculous.

Getting married, birth of my kids, first car, first kiss, first ****, first job, first time I went to Anfield, first time I touched a real boob.

That's just off the top of my head. Way bigger events.

People need to take a break from the echo-chamber of social media and go for a walk if you're going around thinking the the way you are.

The worldometer website in interesting. Ireland is currently at 14.2 cases per million people. UK at 8.7 and USA at 5.5. Can't get my head around how high Iceland's cases are considering their tiny population and location. It's obviously down to how many tests are being carried out. UK and USA have their heads buried deep in the sand.

It's funny to see the other side taking mock offence at the "Dublin Government" closing schools etc with notifying them but then saying that they would have sided with the "London Government's" advice anyway..

As with everything up North - it not what's being said, it's who's saying it that matters.

And what religion they are....

Tis a shame of the highest proportions.

When I was over the other week more the last Europa League match I went over to Stanley Park and had a coughing fit. Looks like it all ended up at Goodison, but it's done the trick either way.....

If one is forced to eat out

What is safest way (least likely to contract this whore of a thing) to get a meal out?

Drive through?

Local Aldi store delayed opening by 1 hour to give the staff a break, store manger walking down the queue explaining that there is plenty of stock no need to bulk buy and just chill out, it seemed to work, no mad dash, everyone seemed to be buying everyday essentials. It was busy but nothing crazy.

(Store originally due to open at 9 hence the queue)

Great leadership. We need more of this.

Just give it to Liverpool now nobody will catch them ... I can’t cope if they are out of the Champions league and then lose the PM because of this.

i did this simple exponet on Tuesday. Not totally accurate but gives a general idea.

By the middle of next week the US will pass Iran in terms of recorded cases.

If the US doesnt increase their level of testing, then on paper, they wont have an increase in cases.

It would be down to the hygiene observed by the person creating your meal and serving you.

Game of roulette basically.

From the Guardian updates. Director of Health Research body in Germany:

Wieler said that between 60-70% of the population would get the virus, due to the fact that it is new, there is no immunity against it, no vaccination against it and no treatment for it” and that “many many people” will have had it already without knowing it, and will have already recovered. Those numbers are unquantifiable, but the more people who get it, long term, the better, as that will increase the immunity levels.

Four-fifths of people will get it very mildly with many not even realising they have it, he added.

I think this needs to be stressed more.
We should probably assume we all have it right now.
Only then will we really change our behaviour to stay away from our vulnerable loved ones.

Just went back over my numbers for a UK herd immunity approach. Can someone point out the error if they see it?

UK Population 62,000,000.0
60% infected 37,200,000.0
5% need ICU 1,860,000.0
ICU Bed Weeks needed if 8000 beds 232.5
ICU Bed Years 4.5

Looking at things from a UK perspective as that is where I am right now, it seems that they are going for a herd immunity style tactic, which appears to be based on accepting that everyone will get it, which is interesting when there is also a social care crisis ongoing for a number of years which is only going to get worse.

If you were being extremely cynical you would say that if the virus spread through everyone then obviously it's going to hit the weakest and illest in society the hardest and some will unfortunately pass away as they will not be able to fight it off whilst the younger, healthier people will be unscathed.

By the time it's gone through everyone and herd immunity has been achieved, there will be far less ill and weak in society as they would have already have passed away, so the ones who are still alive are going to be far healthier and either immune or effected less by it so the virus will have less effect in the future.

Then you look at the overall crisis in social care and you see that coronavirus had the potential of assisting with bringing the costs of it down. The majority of the people who require social care have serious underlying health issues or are very elderly, the coronavirus has the potential to seriously reduce these numbers if it kills them.

Social care is not the only way that the coronavirus can be an opportunity for the UK Government. It now has the potential of being used as a vehicle to blame all the woes of Brexit on rather than revealing the impact that it has had on the uK. And that's something Cummings won't be able to resist.

All in all, this last few days you've seen the difference between Irish society and British society really shown up, compare the actions of our own Taioseach and the UK's Prime Minister. For all of Leo's critics, he would never act like Johnson and the UK government are now.
