Coronavirus

First case now reported in Birmingham and two in Staffordshire but they're not saying where.

First death in the UK. And I've seen that the Government and the Premier League have been in talks to be prepared for the next stage so I expect games to be played behind closed doors much more likely now if not postponed. Derby have got 5 more home league games left, these would have to be played behind closed doors at Pride Park if/when we get to the delayed stage?

It's going to happen. Just look how rapidly things changed in Italy. Worst case scenario is 80% infected and the actual fatality rate is confirmed to be around 3.5%, while 15-20%  of those infected will require hospitalisation. So the fatality rate will increase. I've come across a spreadsheet documenting it's impact across numerous nations, including the UK and it's terrifying. Things won't get that bad due to government intervention, but in about a months time our nation is going to begin going through pain and suffering it's not experienced since WW2.

Fully expect Leeds will come straight back down, let them have their fun for a few weeks and when they start losing week in week out they will soon quiet down.

Very funny. You got me. Obviously I meant whereabouts in Staffordshire.

All a fuss about nothing, we seem to love a apocalyptic storyline these days. Nothing more than flu that’s effecting folk with pre existing conditions.

Aye, much ado about duck all as Shakespeare’s uncouth brother said. ?

The current mortality rate in Italy is almost 4%. Public health officials are saying that the infection rate, without intervention, could be as high as 80% and up to 20% of people who become infected will need to be hospitalised. The mortality rate will increase as hospitals are overwhelmed. You track what's happening in Italy and see if you have the same opinion in 7 days time. That's if they don't stop reporting the figures.

Im sure the family of the lady who died don't share your view.

Will do............

People who are panic buying are being ducking selfish. What about the elderly who might take a little longer to organise their shopping?

The amount of bog roll in people's trolleys at Sainsbury's yesterday was mental, you'd think they'd be planning to eat dodgy curries for the next 2 weeks.

I think you have to be careful with “mortality rates”. Surely, in Italy, it’s 4% of reported cases. I’ve heard it suggested that there could be any more unreported cases as the symptoms for some are so mild.

This could get messy, you wash your hands clean of this

I'll leave that here...

The government is working with retailers and wholesalers. Intentionally stockpiling themselves. Because at some point in the next month potentially, the government is going to begin shutting down most places. Instead of people going out to shops to buy supplies, they will be delivered to  doorsteps and left outside. So don't worry, we have the infrastructure in place for people to continue to receive supplies, even if they banned what will then be deemed as non emergency personnel from travel.

I don't think we should be careful. Our health officials and government are currently misleading us about the scale. They are claiming 1% mortality rate and only 5-10% will require hospitalisation. That is not what the WHO are saying or the case is in Italy. The NHS is not prepared for the scale of people who will require hospitalisation. Once they reach capacity, the mortality rate will increase significantly. This is nothing like the common flu and people dismissing it as such are deluding themselves.

The amount of smarm coming from those who are dismissing it is unreal. Yes, rationalise it for those who are worrying that they're going to drop dead, but don't act like this is like the common flu. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Ooooops seems someone forgot there sense of humour this morning
