If those requiring hospital beds in Italy outnumber the amount of beds available,what then?

Lets try and not find out. That "3.4" will increase, significantly.
Also saw that 40% of those in ICU are under 60

In that article it states “ FORMULA 1: The Bahrain Grand Prix from 20-22 March will be held behind closed doors.”

The Ferrari team has arrived in Melbourne and the Grand Prix is going ahead here as normal on Sunday!

Let’s hope we don’t see a sudden surge in the virus here.

Juve Inter just played behind closed doors (Spoiler: cracking goal by Dybala!) a taste of whats to come?

Would they ask and expect neighbouring countries to take them?

We'll find out soon enough given that we don't have spare beds. First will be cancelling all surgeries. Then what? They'd have to decide which patients to treat.

Where are those ‘it’s just a flu mate’ people now?

In Italy doctors are already having to decide who lives and who doesnt

Amazed to speak to colleagues today who think that Euro 2020 will go ahead. No chance imo.

Crazy that NEW gigs/events in the summer are being advertised too - more in hope than expectation, I guess.

(I predict the Euros will be put back 12 months, btw)

And Glastonbury I assume

These people are now "you're all overreacting"

In the grand scheme of things, none of these things are really that important, the euros, glastonbury, holidays whatever... We'll all certainly survive not having those entertainments for a year.

Lockdown in the loosest sense of the word.

Ghost flight? Use it or lose it?

Are they? They’re actually doing that? Really?

 

[Driver8]

Ghost flight? Use it or lose it?

Or full of people trying to escape the “lockdown” infected or not.

Probably, although I would be pissed off if our holiday in Madeira is off at Easter!

Where did you see that? I can't find that figure anywhere.

Wonder when all the dupes will realise the Tories have been lying about the NHS for years and rather than being world class it will collapse if this takes hold properly

I think " Staying in " will become increasingly more popular in the next 2-3 months. Footy will go, Cinemas and Theatres will be empty as will restaurants. If I had any cash to invest now it would be for shares in Netflix or similar and bookstores.

Awaits the Spring of 2020 baby boom generation...

Reported that the GVT was having speaks with the broadcasters to show more games live on free to air as no one will get to see games.

Aye agree ....almost as bad as all those believed in JC

Mass public gatherings are simply too risky, sadly I can't see this season ending with full stadiums if at all.

Only an absolute arse would try and make political capital out of this impending disaster.

I struggle to believe many countries, if any at all, have the kind of capacity required sitting idle in case something like this happened.

Time will tell on all counts...
