I personally think that's some pretty shitty reporting. I've done my own analysis and when you correct for the onset of the epidemic in the UK by 13 days (we had our first death 13 days after Italy did) the rate of deaths is arguably less than Italy. But frankly probably about on par. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im off as i have asthma . My boss was great about it but the other boys are still in as its classed as constriction work. Think they are in until Friday then probably off I got another [BANNED TEXT] who works in a pet treats factory where the boss has told them they are classed as essential work and they "have" to continue working . If they go into self isolation they have been told they wont have a job to come back to and when they argued the point that it was impossible to keep a 2m distance in their tiny factory they were told "yoh know where the door is" Plenty od uncertainty about work and plenty of bosses who dont give a shit either way 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,638 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I want to add to that, as it obviously encourages the reader to make the prediction that the UK is about to become Italy.... The UK has 50% more ventilators per capita than Italy and our Industry is stepping up in traditional British fashion to knock out a heap more. I'm not trivialising this, just presenting the facts.

I’ve just been watching telly now and this is a delay phase they don’t have any intentions of containing it like China they possibly can’t do it I it is just to slow it down without blocking transport in and out of city’s they can do it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Too many factors at play. The peak depends largely on our behaviour at this point. How effectively we implement social distancing, how effectively we equip the NHS etc. All I'd say is that I am extremely dubious of claims that we are worse off than Italy. The data I'm looking at doesn't support that at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
