How're we doing compared to Italy, or would it be better to compare with Iran.

We are where they were 10 days ago. They jumped to 100+ deaths per day from (effectively) tomorrow.

Jesus, there are still some fuckers out in the pubs near me at the moment for Pities sake.

I wonder how long the approval with the Corona handling is going to last with folks if/when we start hitting 100+ a day dying.

Things would be getting pretty dire if there were 100 deaths per death.

People (UK tory people who are convinced this is a fuss over nothing - blitz, flu etc etc) now starting to question the number of deaths put down to CV in Italy and saying they would have died anyway. From what I can gather - and I've seen nothing specific from google - the death count from Italy as those who have been tested positive (whether before or after death).
Anyway know for sure?

Hoping for the aristocracy - they are a minority after all.

So, my youngest daughter (13) and a niece (22) are now separately in self-isolation. Hoping my daughter doesn't get driven mad by being trapped with my ex for a fortnight. Party-in-a-petri-dish big gig at the end of the month is still not cancelled... gently caress.

The one saving grace of this is that my nose has been clear as anything the whole time through. Could do without the everything else though

Yeah any xylometazoline hydrochloride spray will do this. You spray it, and 30 seconds later congestion vanishes for hours. That stuff is a wonder drug.

This stuff has a strong rebound effect so can leave you worse in the long run. Use really sparingly or preferably not at all.

We just want to drop a huge thank you to everyone for an incredible surge of goonerosity since announcing the fund was open. This community has already donated £1825 to provide support to our fellow goons which is way beyond anyone was expecting. Thank you so much for showing your support to each other. If you are struggling and were waiting to see if the fund would be successful before making a request please be assured that you do not need to worry and get in touch. All requests are valid and will be given full consideration.

Again thanks everyone, you rule :unsmith:

Yes, Italians, like all other chordates, would have died at some point eventually even without the Covid. That their lives weren't shortened by it seems very dubious though.

In one of my local facebook groups, we've put together a poll of local people who have current enhanced DBS for working with under 18s (not currently working as teachers or LSAs etc) who could help out if necessary. We have over 40 people now. (Also notified local schools about the group so they are aware).

Don't forget that all holiday is cancelled and they're proposing hours are extended to 6am to 10pm. Oh and there were rumours earlier it might even have to go 24/7. Nobody knows for sure though because local authorities aren't getting clear instructions from central government so it's all being winged.

Has a clear list of key worker roles even been proposed yet? As of a couple of hours ago it certainly hadn't.

Turns out "schools shut" actually means "schools open much more than before".

That's not a bad idea, I have a valid enhanced DBS and I'm sure a lot of other folk have as well.
