Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Because for 20% it's not mild and for 5% it's very dangerous. And we don't have capacity to look after 5% of shitloads of people.

Yeah, should definitely be between the top 9.

because the percentage of people with serious health conditions will rapidly overwhelm the health service.

Don't know if NHS-wide or local, but every non clinical staff member here has been told to register for remote working from home apps/Google authenticator etc. Could be soon as next week.

Overnight was a 'surge' in requests for COVID testing too.

football contagion is spreading from the football thread, who's the super carrier ?

self isolate in your fave thread and stay there

Brilliant.

I feel a play-off of the current top three is the only fair solution

Would make for the greatest comeback ever.
Leicester - 29 points behind with 27 to play for.

In other travelling to see family related news.

Managed to take out insurance that was very specific about the corona virus. we're due to fly to America in 3 weeks time and I can imagine things will be worse by then, from reading reports that we're just a couple weeks behind Italy.

Fingers crossed we don't end up stuck in America.

I fear it's going exponential, we could see an increase of 300 today.

we could see 300 new posts today.

WFH is real productive for you then?

we should work towards flattening this curve . . quick @PhilDAS post some wank bikes in gravel bike thread!

Surely a new project is required...?

Very fair point - guess I’m trying to rationalise to myself, to explain the hospitalisation of so many people, yet comparatively high survival.

My symptoms have buggered off, predictably. Lad-stag did for me.
Still, working from home while probably the 'smartest' guy in my lab asks if he's missing a joke when discussion gets on to self-isolation (social-distancing really) in group chat.

Decided to take anything I read about symptoms with a fatal dose of salt, there was some clickbait shit in then local paper yesterday about one guy's experience, 24 days of illness followed by breathing difficulties, only in the last sentence does the reporter decide to reveal he'd developed pneumonia (but was on the mend now), I'm like way to whip up fear, since most people won't actually get to the last sentence

I'm down with it (liverpool fan) as long as it's appropriately handicapped to recognise the points difference. I think at least goal head start for every 3 points ahead...

Bread it is then.

Copious amounts of G and T won´t help if you take ill but:

Let´s have some apocalyptic streetscape pics from Denmark then...

Exactly. Plus I’d like to avoid finding out if I am in the 25% if possible

It was curious that passport control guys didn't wear gloves... 300+ people in one plane
