• So three days on, still not a biggie for our forum naysayers?

  • See the link up thread ‘worldometers’, they have a link to death rates https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/ which summarises the current at risk people quite well.
    They also say that the higher death rate in Hubei is because of a lack of available resources. So outside Hubei the death rates are much lower (0.16%) than in Hubei (3.1%) or Wuhan (4.9%) thanks to the availability of critical care facilities and drugs. I should think Australia is still comfortably able to cope unless infection levels skyrocket.
    Ignore Howard’s comments on the over 60s being at risk, he’s just trying to scare you, it’s the over 80’s at highest risk.

  • For comparison, the UK has about 6000 intensive care beds, generally fairly evenly spread.

    Kings and Royal Free have about 100 between them. Not sure about other London hospitals
