Yis indeed, why ir folk buyin up aa da bog roll?

 

I asked somebody the same question and they thought it was due to the government advice about coughing and sneezing into a tissue and then disposing of it straight away.

Made a bit more sense to me than a desperate need at the other end of the body.

We better face facts most of us will get this virus the measures the Government are implementing are designed to spread out the time we get it so as not to overwhelm the Hospitals all at one time . In fact the Government want as many healthy  people to get as possible it so as to build up an  immunity to it for the future . The thousands who die will unfortunately be seen as collateral damage .

We need a musical about the Coronavirus
It would be like this except at the beginning everybody’s dieing of the virus instead of depression and everybody is in the hospital on lockdown instead of being locked in the basement.

 

Laughter is the best medicine so lets SING

 

 

Infected spies from China try to steal your Lungs elation
And little girls from Italy dream of infecting your home nation
And if you want this kind of nightmare it's Coronafornication
It's the end of the world and all of every civilization
The sun may rise in the East at least it's settled in a final location
It's understood that Wuhan Exports Coronafornication
Pay your doctor very well to break the spell of COVID-19
Fever sets in is this it or is there a greater war waging?
Fist of full 'o soap
Hardcore soft Charmin
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication
Oh no girl, Don’t be snivelling near me, Stay back I must LIVE
A self quarantine at home getting high on loneliness
And buy me the last Soap and tissues, its Coronafornication
Born and raised by those who praise, control of population
Everybody's been there come sweet death, and I mean Armageddon!
Fist of full 'o soap
Hardcore soft Charmin
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication
Dream of Coronafornication

"This article from the Independent makes grim reading apparently in Italy the death rate is 7% of those who caught the virus thats 70 times more than the flu"

The reported mortality rate will be skewed by the testing focusing on the more severe cases now.
There could be ten times the amount of active cases there or those just carrying unknown.
Early days still but it's the pressure on health services of the severe case numbers that is the major issue and the higher the peak in numbers, the more severe cases unable to get treatment, thus increasing the mortality among them all the more.
Unstoppable now so flattening the curve and decreasing the number of severe cases at any one time is the best option.

The figures being released are largely meaningless as there is no baseline.

 

While its reasonable to assume the virus attacks equally across the whole population demographic, unless hospitalisation/fataliity numbers are released covering at least the four ttraditional under 18, 18-40, 40-65 and over 65 demographics, There's no way of knowing whether they're spread reasonably evenly across the whole population demographic, which would be quite concerning, or whether 99% or the hospitalisations/fatalities were in the 65+ demographic, which, while sad, would be unsurprising and not unexpected.
