economic wise its a disaster for sure... that's going to be the issue - to be fair the UK has led from the front with actions but I doubt its enough

again ill use HK as we are getting back to norms

restaurants were fooked, had been anyway but loads of closed of late, even in the busiest area for expats and tourists

cabs way easier to get - lots suffered and suffering from the tourist drop

supermarkets - laughing their cocks off at the world going mad over bog roll

small business's took up the ass, private tutors, PTs, yoga, Physios etc went pretty much 2 months with nada- its starting to uptick a little now...

but that's two months of shit in a place where we had a handle on it and shut things down in Jan.... and somewhere that's fairly small.....more like a London than a UK

shows how poorly managed its been - no one can cope hence why everyone should have been told to stay at home for 2 weeks... it helps keep a lid on the spread....

all health systems are fucked in a panic, doesn't matter where you are, and sadly that's what happens - once something spreads beyond any norm of control the effort is made to save healthy people not those who will most likely die
Italy with the worlds oldest pop after Japan has got walloped....

if only the emergencies turn up there is a chance, hence again home quarantine to snuff it out or at least flatten the curve and give hospitals a chance...

Chinas action was what was needed, Singapore and HK have the lowest amount but yet a huge amount of people who travel to and from china almost daily... but from day 1 both acted fast with quarantines and shutting schools and using technology...just cant and wont happen in the west so its going to be hope enough people get it and then fight back on their own

if you aren't healthy your in potential trouble... id be ordering Chloroquine online asap before it stops coming out of India (old nasty anti malarial that had some success with SARS and Chinese docs in Wuhan)

Exactly. As much as I am against a police state, if this is what they say then the shut down should already be in effect.

I live in a town north of Manchester and we have already have cases. If we have, I can only imagine how it is in London.

I am just generally watching London though, epicentre of the UK. If it gets even worse there then I know Manchester is following.

I have organic ginger, liquorice root powder, etc. All have had success with respiratory diseases.

Good old cup of herbal tea twice a day.

My worry isn’t for me. It is for my 28 year old wife who has asthma.

 

[Guest1337]

The virus would have no effect on me at all or my missus and kids. We are all healthy with no underlying health conditions.

I don't come into contact with any elderly relatives as they all live up North.

I was happy to continue travelling into the City on tubes and trains. But we had a discussion as a company yesterday and we decided that it was socially responsible for us to WFH. We can do all of our work remotely anyhow and we didn't want to spread any of the virus even more, especially to elderly or unwell.

TBH, I am more worried about the economic impact to the business we are trying to set up. We could be totally fooked by this.

Ken. As much as I enjoy your ramblings. With a new virus the world has never seen before there is no way you can say ‘it won’t affect my wife kids we’ll be fine’.

God forbid, and I pray we all stay healthy. End of the day though. None of us know what can and can’t be.

If a lot of vulnerable people get sick. End up in the ER, intensive care etc then there isn’t enough ventilators or doctor care to cater for the rest of us it doesn’t matter on your current factors if you can’t get the care when you need it.

on the plus side we have terrible air quality here when china is pumping full on, so its been nice! Howerver we also have one of the highest respiratory disease cases due to this and the close contact due to how crammed it is - and yet still deaths are very low here. My Bro in Law has bad asthma too and touch wood hes been fine - so fingers crossed its a positive sign for your mrs - as we are on the doorstep of it. You just have to do what you think is best, I think pulling kids from school and just stepping back from the world for a few weeks is the soundest plan anyone can make right now....

Heck yeah. The financial impact is what I am watching more than anything.

It could be a dent or it could change the face of some of the largest countries in the world.
Let’s face it places like the US are already trillions in debt. They are now pumping over 500billion of paper into their system.

Surely we can only be settling for a global recession?

I seriously hope things don’t go that deep. However, if the high street closes quicker than it already has been doing. People can’t afford their council tax and rates.

The loans the government is offering puts people on more debt. The outcome can’t be brilliant can it?

Exactly. Lucky for me I am a junior developer so working from home isn’t an issue. I have been since last Thursday.

I have pulled my kids. Reason I pulled them at this point is because my mrs is currently on antibiotics for tonsillitis.

I need her fit and healthy before anyone brings any other germs into the house.


P.s my brother works in HK. He’s a teacher. Good to see how they have cracked on tbh.

He didn’t even bother wearing a mask through it all. Lol.

we have a short term whack followed by a U shaped recovery if this gets sorted by June IMO, if come summer its still in the shite we are into the worst recession in a lifetime , possibly 100yrs.... as Airlines etc will go, and then a house of cards with huge unemployemnt. China will bounce as its roaring capacity up and if the world is in shutdown it will churn out like never before to take the slack

People are being named and shamed for that, there is a call to arrest people not wearing... i went to the gym (down the office lift and like 20 paces and was getting proper stared at as i left my mask on the desk)....

Coronavirus has been around since 1960s mate, this is just a new strain.

All of the patients in UK who passed away were aged between 56 and 94 and had underlying health conditions.

Brah, nandos was empty its sound

Hahahaha

Totally worth the rapidly rising death toll bruv

You’re missing the point, Ken.

Coronavirus has been around in animals. SARS and MERS are both Coronaviruses and both extremely deadly, this isn’t an exception.

The main point is this though. If we continue the spike were on within a month you won’t barely be able to get a GP appointment, never mind a hospital appointment.

If you get ill, fall or get hurt in some way most medics and docs will be dealing with the hugely overly fucked NHS. There will be hardly any beds or wards.

Beside the fact, even if you did get hurt and you know every hospital in the UK is full of COVID19 patients, would you want to go? Lol.

Corona may only effect people with issues. The wider impact of corona and the health services will effect us all through.

That is the question.

The UKs current outlook is save the worst of the outbreak until summer when the Winter illnesses have stopped.

In my eyes though that means this issue is going to be with us for most of 2020.

The emergency legislation being put in place for police state, quarantine etc has a two year lifespan.
