In Italy they closed the schools in Lombardy. Many parents then decided to head south to second homes/relatives and speeded up the spread of the virus. Italy went in lockdown last Monday, however up to last Thursday you could during the lockdown period, have your hair cut in the morning, lunch...

Whilst not in the ‘fuss over nothing crew’ I’m certainly not in the ‘we are all going to do die’ camp either. The spanner in the works for was Italy. The more I read about what has been done or more importantly hasn’t been makes me think ‘f*ck!’ South Korea has shown what to do and Italy what...

Imagine if it had the potency of SARS or MERS .... actually I’d rather not! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It most likely to be higher but if the symptoms don’t show or are very mild then the contagion won’t be reported. However if the 2% fatality rate stays true the. We are either doing something right or the virus is very weak. Obviously it’s a function of time but if my fathers illness...

One of the issues with the virus is that apart from the ‘at risk’ 80% of the population may just get a very mild dose. It would have been better if it has been more like a bad case of flu. It would focus the minds regarding behaviours and people would heed advice. I suspect there are a far...

It’s about perspective. I am more concerned now that I was in January but certainly not in the ‘we are all going to die’ camp. For me it’s also about context. Clearly what is happening in Italy is not the norm outside of China and Iran. We should all try and understand why, as this will put us...

Coronavirus / Covid-19 On Saturday ( assuming it goes ahead) my son has my ticket as he’s back from uni and I’ll be with my daughter and wife at uni of Nottingham for an offer day. She is to study children’s nursing, the open day is that hospital .... they haven’t cancelled. There are 280,000...

When this is all over I do wonder what our view of acceptable number of deaths due to seasonal of flu will be? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I France they kiss cheeks, not to the frequency of Italy but still a lot. Bavaria also do the same but both of these countries will have had lot of Italians visiting. It’s all about transmission, reduce the chances of transmission and ergo reduce cases. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know in France they are isolating those who have contracted the virus as they are in Germany. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
