If it turns out that we over-reacted, fantastic. We can get back to normal that much faster. Under-reaction, on the other hand, would be an extremely bad idea.


Since we’re trading anecdotes, my NHS friends’ experience is different to yours.

There are other ways of reacting: protecting the vulnerable, massive investment in the NHS (an additional 100 billion would be worth it compared to this), ubiquitous mask wearing (the government could buy everyone masks), shut down interregional travel, so resources for less badly hit areas can be reallocated, restrictions on larger gatherings etc. etc. none of which involve cultural and economic suicide.

This is interesting.

Someone made the point earlier about traffic accidents etc. clouding this picture but I looked that up and they’re nothing (5-10% off the top of my head) compared to something like flu so unlikely that’s a major confounding factor

I’m my watching the news this morning, and must say I’ve watched and read more news in the last few weeks then I ever had before in my life.

Where I live, it’s not really hit to my knowledge, and I’m very thankful for that. However, I feel like the vast majority of people I see are adhering to the rules.

I do find it quite eerie at times, when my family and I go for walks that the roads are so quiet, and so many shops shut etc. That being said, any other people we see out are all very polite and respectful. In some ways I think it’s made people nicer and given more of a community feel.

im not sure how close you'd get to tigers... I guess not very close but it could also be in the food handling? who knows

you may run from tigers

But where will you hide from your own fears?

Watch Tiger King on Netflix. Many people get very very close to Tigers.

Really sorry to hear this. I think a lot of people are now realising this is a bad situation being having a this happen so close to home can only make it much, much worse.

I dont think that is necessarily true. You cannot underestimate the damage done to global trade. we have the potential to be heading for a global depression as bad or worse than the great depression. if that happens and it was an over reaction it could potentially kill many more people than the virus and force many into poverty.

personally I think everyone should be hoping that we get back to something like 'normal' but preparing for worse potential outcomes.

talking anecdotes I spoke to someone today whos partner works in Norwich hospital and they did have cv cases but the feeling was that they had less than they were expecting and preparing for at this stage.

sorry to hear that John. I hope your mates okay. Families seem become clusters of infection.
