The courts deal with a lot more than crime. I think plenty of divorces, land disputes, personal injuries hearings could be delayed. Some criminal matters need to go ahead, but not necessarily the trials. There’s plenty of scope for taking a lot of cases out of the courts right now and only keeping the very urgent stuff like bail hearings

Yes you're right there is scope in that regard. And I feel that those cancellations should be kept quiet and made on an individual basis.

The general outward impression is that our legal institutions are operating as normal and criminals will be dealt with as usual.

That’s one of the most narrow minded, ill informed, immature moronic posts on any of the 6 threads on this topic.

It's cold but it's not immature. The best people to deal with a crisis are those that can leave their personal feelings and emotions at the door.

The likes of Doctors have empathy and compassion but they also have the ability to turn them off and go into cold calculated mode when needs be. That's how they triage mass casualties in a major emergency. They have to just accept that the person in front of them is going to die and move into someone that stands a chance.

If you have undergone major emergency planning that would be the first thing they tell you. Setup a triage area AND a temporary morgue.

In the article they say the youngest in ICU is 38. Lot younger than statistically likely but not in their 20s

“There are a lot of young people in our Intensive Care Units (ICUs) - our youngest is a 38-year-old who had had no comorbidities (underlying health problems).”

That's tough to read. Should put to bed the chatter (but it won't) that only oldies and sick people are at risk.

I heard from someone in the NHS they expect London to be on lockdown within two weeks

Please explain what you mean by lockdown - The word is being completely abused. I am in London at the minute, home Friday.

Anyone have any stats on timeline between first confirmed case and first fatality in various countries? I'm wondering is there a general trend or if a shortening of this timeframe could possibly depict an increased virulence of the virus? I suppose underlying illnesses and age profile etc of initial confirmed cases would possibly cause variation.

RIP to the lady in Ireland who died today.

Not so long ago their death demographic was 65+, it's reducing
Then reports of them refusing admission for over 65's

Is this Italian strain more severe or mutating to a more severe strain
IIRC in China the percentage of under 65's needing to be in ICU was very very low

Not pleasant reading.

Definitely not.

And the killer sentence at the end: “The World Health Organisation ranks Italy second in the world for health care provision, with only France rated higher. The UK is 18th.”.

What we are seeing there is what happens with the second best health system in the world :-/

Given the total numbers in Italy, it's no surprise that younger people are also in serious trouble. Some of them did in fact die in China but just a far lower proportion of the age group. Also bear in mind that there are many more 20 year olds everywhere in the world than there are 80 year olds.

As ever we don’t really have clear data. I’ve seen a few interesting suppositions about CV that didn’t pan out over the last few weeks. It could just be that the Italian health system can’t handle the volume of cases, they have a vastly older average population and we’re seeing a lot of people dying as a result. (Which is scary enough as a scenario...)
