This is a tad uncouth of me, but I'm not ashamed.  I'd bloody love it if this disease took out that man.

A lot of burying heads in sand going on.I'm pretty resistant to taking sick days and struggle in, but having caught pneumonia on a flight back from the Far East, and previously thinking it was just a cold for old people, then being hospitalised within two days and feeling like a bull had kicked me in the chest, followed by several months of breathlessness while recovering, I fear you are underestimating the potentially more severe symptoms of this. Of course, you may just feel you have a cold, but if it is severe, you won't just be brushing it off.

The second phase - "delay" - will seek to push back the peak of the epidemic to the summer.

 

I dont like the sound of the words PEAK and SUMMER

I’m pretty sure he’s being flippant.

At this point I have lost all my hope about Glastonbury. It will be 100% cancelled. This is out of control and this is just the beginning. Italy now is in Wuhan levels at the beginning (almost 2000 people infected today) and soon more countries will be there. Without the measures of China this will be a mess.

I hate this thread with a passion. Switching between this one and the next announcement thread is a ridiculous emotional rollercoaster every time.

There have been over 110,000 people diagnosed with the virus, and over 65,000 of those have recovered, so more than half the people who have been diagnosed are now ok, i'm still expecting the festival to go ahead, it'll all die down in a few weeks

Let’s be honest. Based on your posts you gave up hope about the same time this thread started.

All sporting events cancelled in Italy now until April 3rd.

Which is an absolutely fucking terrible recovery rate by any standards.

This is exactly what I was thinking.   It’s like saying only 50% of people die.

It's not off. Nothing has been cancelled, so there's always hope. That said all the metrics are going in the wrong direction. The government have admitted it is highly likely to step in to reduce the rate of transmission/infection at some point. It then comes down to what are the essentials for keeping the basic economy going....and attending sporting events and music festivals etc are near the bottom of the list.

Yet the risks of those outdoor events are low, in the words of medical experts. It’s months away still, there’s loads of hope it goes ahead still. The government have more pressing measures to look at closing down in the next 2 months before looking at summer festivals. That’s if they WANT to close down those events though, that’s a different issue all together.

I think it means the vast majority are on the road to recovery or have just been infected or diagnosed.
