    827 dead in Italy. That's quite a scary number at this stage.

    Yep. I'd suspect it's not as well controlled now as they're making out either.

    67 is not old these days and is well below the 80+ range that gave you the lucky 1 in 7 chance.
    "Over 45 and male" is apparently where you start to become high risk for being seriously unwell with it.

    I fear we're waiting for the mortality rate to jump before doing anything. You know what'd be nice? Union intervention. Imagine the big unions going on strike on health grounds.

    One of the University bigwigs comes out today saying that Universities can't be shut down because students have nowhere to go. Jesus... wake up, mate.

    In Florida they're signalling to the universities to make plans to move everyone to online learning "as soon as possible" apparently.

    They postponed an MLS game in Seattle.

    We're doing the rest of the semester online. I plan to tell my students to read the textbook, watch lectures on Youtube, and do the final when the time comes. Everyone else is chimping out.

    The lollest part of it all is that they are asking the students (who are currently on Spring Break) to come back to gather all their shit. If the purpose is to avoid them all cramming into the same dorm, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

    Apart from that Euro 2016 final nack Ronaldo can't have been injured since 2008, so I bet he has an amazing immune system.

    The Euros are definitely off now. No football is getting played for at least four weeks after this weekend.

    A teenager was sent home from school after being caught selling shots of hand sanitiser to his fellow pupils at 50p a go. His mother, Jenny Tompkins, from Leeds, posted a picture of him arriving home earlier after his entrepreneurial exploits at Dixons Unity Academy. In a post on Facebook, she said it was hard to discipline her son when his "dad called to say he was a legend". He plans to use the £9 he made to buy a kebab, she added.
    Bit of everything there.

    It'll be pretty grim here when the corpses are piling up because they can't test anywhere near quick enough.

    Private pathology working with public hospitals and private medical centers as well as the university hospital has been a seamless transition. We also have an existing bulk billed home dr service that is been pumped with funds to keep people out of the emergency.

    And yet Ramsay Street had to raise money to get Sonya Rebecchi the cancer treatment she needed. It was waste of money in the end like, but still. If your system was that great...

    I genuinely think we're about three weeks from mass graves.

    Even if you go by the official stats, we've got 460 cases and cases have increased by over 20% for each of the last 3 days. Let's call it 25%. If you multiply that out, by the 12th April we'll have over half a millions cases, with (using the current UK death rate) over 10,000 extra corpses to deal with.

    By the end of April it'll be half the country infected, with over half a million dead.

    3 weeks might be too soon, but I'm not sure you're wrong.

    The upper estimates I have read are a long way below that, but we're not at all prepared on any level for what it will be like when the peak hits. I for one will be locking the doors and not leaving my flat for a month, and if that means quitting my job then so be it.

    I'm sure Ital would have torn me a new one with the approach I took as it's rudimentary as fuck, but whatever way you cut it, if you don't do anything about it, the cases and deaths are exponential.

    Out of interest, in the Jimocalypse, what's happening outside your flat?

    +1 to the "this is really really bad" crowd

    If the UK and Italy are fucking it think what will happen when it reaches countries with less developed medical systems. I'm in Mexico and it's been largely contained here but I have a feeling it's a ticking time bomb.

    Africa will be the motherload, but I think as all sensible countries should, they'll just close borders and shut shit down.

    Certainly in the UK now, anyone who can do their job from home, should be working from home and so few are.

    Oh and looks like we're moving to the delay stage, but given the article cites we won't be stopping public gatherings I think that just means we're changing the bulb.

    Probably nothing, but I'm not going to find out. I'm lucky to live alone with no elderly relatives and nobody depending on me, and I intend to milk that for all it's worth.

    In most places it'll just be ghost town, but in hospitals and wherever else the badly sick are going to, it will be like a war zone. I very much doubt we, or any other nation, have the resources to cope with it. We might hopefully do a better job than Italy, but I can't see an obvious reason why we would given it has taken this long to do anything whatsoever at a high organisational level (I'm sure things are being readied as best as possible on the ground).

    One of the problems is that the boomers and post-boomers who run things are the ones who lived through man-made so-called catastrophes like the Cold War and therefore think we are invincible, whereas obviously we are not. My managing director strolling around saying that it's an overreaction was a real eye opener.

    I would love to be very wrong but for about a week I've been fully convinced that I'm right and that for a time - maybe a brief time, but a devastating one - this will be an event to mark all our lives.

    Just had a look to see if I could do a big order online from Tesco or Sainsbury's and the earliest I can get delivery is Sunday. I guess lots of people have the same idea.

    What gets me is when do we stop the containment? Surely every country in the world has to be at zero, otherwise it'll just spread again. This is going as far as it will go and there's no stopping it. I'm just glad I'm not 70.

    When the vaccine comes. If there isn't one and/or hot weather doesn't kill it (if that would even work), then yeah, it's presumably just something we're going to have to live with and life expectancy will reduce accordingly.
