    RL I had pneumonia 12 months ago, it was terrible. Does this mean anything in terms of Coronavirus?

    Slightly related, but I only post on two message boards and the talk on this one pales into insignificance compared with the other. Yes, it's a much bigger forum, but there's been a new sub-forum created, and it has 78 threads and nearly 15k posts.

    I'm sure Lewis will say this is just The Guardian attacking the tories so here:
    He's attacking a misrepresentation of the policy. He seems to think that they actively want us all to catch it ('vulnerable people should not be exposed to a virus right now in the service of a hypothetical future'), which is doubly stupid when he basically goes on to endorse the government's approach in the last few paragraphs (albeit disputing their scheduling, which I would assume the government has reasons for).

    Just done an online ASDA shop to arrive on Saturday as it's payday (my usual online shop day). Got a different pasta to normal coming, and aloe vera toilet paper. Bloody panic buyers. Wonder how much stuff will actually arrive.

    They do want us to catch it Lewis, that much is clear as day.

    Despite the ceo guidance, my boss+1 he sent an email out with his expectations that i, amongst others, am in the office on Monday.

    It’s going to be a ghost town so I’m wearing jeans.

    Suspect we will be told to work out how to work remotely with meetings etc and then working from home from Wednesday or so. If we end up being the only chumps in the office I’ll be pissed. If everyone else is meeting digitally and we aren’t allowed to do F2F meetings it’s pointless being there.

    Downloading the whole lot of sex and the City from sky box sets to fill the time..

    You might have some residual lung damage that puts you at higher risk of being seriously ill if you do catch it, but it's hard to know.

    I don't want to put this too crudely, but white van man needs to smell the coffee and get his act together. Another rise in Italian cases/deaths today.

    Nothing but Di Cecco pasta in the supermarket here today.

    Allied to the fleets of Abarth 500s you should think about relocating Pepe. Very proximate to La France as well.

    How are we going to be limbo-ing under it though? Do you really not think we're going to get over 2,000 deaths even if we locked down now?

    Interesting to see European countries suddenly not giving it the ol "EUROPE TOGETHER!!!". Each country seems to be making different decisions, there's no unified message, and now borders are being closed.

    It is an interesting one for the great European experiment. The borders will presumably stay closed for months, maybe years too, as once you've done it you surely need to be certain there's no more coming in again.

    If our strategy works, we could clean up over that.

    Does it have "made in Italy" on it, clearly labelled? If so, that'll be why.

    It's moronic, but people are morons. We all knew that anyway.

    I wonder if those panic buying are as concerned about their home security arrangements because if this is as bad as projected then the have nots will have plenty of opportunity to roam around and acquire what they need from the haves whilst blue light response times are decimated.

    Right, just knocked the above together in terms of us vs. Italy.

    The number of days passed was taken from the first day Wikipedia started recording infection cases by day, but it's largely pointless as we don't know how close "day 0" was in each country.

    What we do know is that the number of deaths we've seen today and yesterday puts us somewhere at the start of the highlighted range for Italy. They're a similar sized population, but their spread seems more localised than ours, where bar Norfolk (I might need them to let me back in at some stage) it's everywhere.

    The next two or three days are crucial in mapping how close we'll get to their trajectory. If we're posting another 20 or so deaths tomorrow and close to double that by Wednesday, we're very possibly on exactly the same trajectory as they were. If we are, we're going to be posting hundreds of deaths a day this time next week and if the deaths are that high the cases must be similar at the same stage as them (or more, given Italy's ludicrous mortality rate from it) and we'll have run out of current ICU beds in around two weeks.

    Forgot to add, the red line is the day when Italy locked everything down and with their approach and wished they'd done it sooner. If we're going to change tack on ours we need to be doing it now, otherwise (and if we hit Italy's trajectory over the next 2/3 days) I think we're in this for the long haul, with a lot more deaths in the short term than any other country will be facing.

    And that long haul starts before the end of March.

    It'd be pretty hard to catch all the bats to vaccinate them.

    Government (on Thursday) had us 4 weeks behind Italy, Yevrah has us 2 weeks behind Italy.

    Really hope that the government are right.
