this is ok but dont the healthy need to be infected to build up immune systems as there not cure yet. :) if everyone stays in the virus will be around for years. I know theres no exact answer to the issue and this is why the people in charge have no idea what to do either. imo the elderly and at risk need to stay in and the rest need to catch it and fingers crossed dont have any other underlying issues.

This is the problem.

There is no evidence that having it makes you immune, it is still work in progress.

The only ways to stop this virus are:

a) let it burn through the population and it will kill a lot of people needlessly because the nhs can?t cope (100,000 beds in the country, about 30,000 available).

b) vaccinate, this is way off.

c) social isolation, If everyone did this for 14 days the virus would be stopped completely.

Underlying health issues doesn?t mean you are very ill, it means anything other than being healthy. Obesity, high blood pressure for example make you high risk. Have you had a full medical recently and know you have no underlying issues? And not being old isn?t a guarantee either. That data was collated from China where most elderly smoke heavily, and are male, so its not accurate. In the US 10% of cases in hospital are under 25. It goes on, there is increasingly more evidence that ?experienced? immune systems are causing more fatalities, hence why children are not getting sick. My best friend?s brother (42) lives in london, does ironman and is fit as a butchers dog, hes got c19 and is totally fucked up. Do what we are being told to do, stay away from everyone outside of your house.
 
I'll just drop this here whilst we're at it.

yeah considering UK health system doesnt even test for coronavirus
 
If everybody doesn?t following the social distancing advice then there will in a very short time be more sick people needing intensive care than there are intensive care beds. When that happens many 1000s of people will die due to unavailability of treatment.

The UK is 14 days behind Italy. What is happening there now will be here in two weeks. If we don?t observe the social distancing (or have an enforced lockdown) by next week, then we will be hit worse than Italy where they have been locked down for several weeks already.

there is no data proof that its 14 days behind. I say it's max 2-3 days behind due to UK travelers in/out Milan / Tirol.

Testing isn't massively successful at the moment. Wish it was.

The, UEA, University of East Anglia (and others) is trying to develop a home testing kit which is more accurate.

Well you can argue that. China, Italy, Spain, Germany and US dont have issues testing pretty much anyone not just serious cases.

Not sure why is that, whether UK dont have $$ to buy tests or there is shortage of them.
 
I'm pretty confident that some kind of home testing kit and vaccination will be fast tracked. Listening to the Executive Director of WHO this morning, he said things that normally take months to sign off are getting approved in a matter of days. Global Health Organisations are teaming up for the first time ever and working together, sharing data and results and so I believe we have enough clever people in the World to turn the tables on this and smash something out the park!
 
Testing is critical, WHO have been saying this since January. Manufacturing and rolling it out to millions is not going to happen quickly, key workers will be first.

I agree with bbb. It?s much much worse here than we think. Two people I know who are A&E consultants in different trusts up here (where apparently we have low infections) say their departments are overwhelmed already.
 
We have been discussing this at work....if the only viable solution of Andys suggestion is to isolate for 14 days then we should do this sooner rather than later....then things can get back to normal....and then we can ride our bikes more...lol
 
Yes, I have family who are consultants, GP?s and Pharmacists, I agree things are not looking good and they are all low on PPE equipment. In terms of rolling any tests or vaccinations out, of course it will have to be done in priority order and then a transition into wider society. All that we can do is follow Govt guidelines for now and remain hopeful. Thinking negative will not help the state of mind nor will it have a positive affect on the immune system.
 
Haha on a lighter note, some humorous comments on here... Kenny doing plenty riding up in Lewis, BMWBB with his VPN admission and Rednines constant battle with his War Dept cracked me up... the chats good on here...

I'm all for keeping it light, however the reality is stark !..

My concern is probably having enough scran to last for 14 days, thats a shit long time without the ability to go to the shops..I've resisted the temptation to do a panic shop..

Spain have extended the lockdown for another 15 days to the 12th April. That?s Almeria definitely cancelled now
 
Daughter?s bloke who works in a and e says their biggest problem are the dickheads who cough a couple of times and demand to be admitted to a specialist ward
 
I wonder how they will fair if it gets a strong hold in countrys like India. No way to keep apart and most don't have proper sanitation
