    Thought I check this morning before The reply to that

    Fuck man, Italy 5322 new cases and 427 deaths yesterday, they have passed China's death toll

    Virus has an incubation period of 5 days, two standard deviations to the mean, 95%, are showing symptoms by 11.5 days

    I get what you are saying, it's not like I don't get what you are saying, or it's not that I don't agree with it, sort of

    But if they just locked down a country where over an even spread 5% already had it

    Then pffft

    Trying to flatten the curve when the curve is already pointing nearly straight up. Id say if the lockdown was about 3 weeks earlier, about 18 Feb, rather than March 10 then, yeah ok

    Boris says the worst will be over in three months if we just follow the rules. Haha. He says we're going to "send this virus packing".. He's so funny with his funny speaking mannerisms

    What is sad that I had to go to three different stores today to find items on my normal shopping list. Not even taking into consideration of buying extra food. And there are items that I normally buy weekly that the shelves were bare with nothing on them. It is a shame that people have to hoard items just because they could and screw the next person that needs that item.

    Total population doesn't matter, just deaths in which we are clearly in a good position in relation to how many cases compared to other countries, although we lost another 11 while I slept.

    I don't want to play a game that's going to take 2 weeks to decide, plus I don't want you to contract it. :mask:

    Mind youh I've still yet to see one grizzly photo circulate over social media. Yet to see anybody declare they have it too. You'd think 180,000 tweets would be retweeted and shared so that it's impossible to even miss, but I haven't seen one, so I don't exactly believe the statistics.

    Wasn't it not long ago "we don't have enough test kits" yet people are obviously being checked readily all the time because the numbers are going up. Still a bit all bullshit to me.

    Of course it matters, here's a hypothetical scenario for you to hopefully illustrate. Let's say some isolated country had a total population of 1000 and say 500 of them died as where a country of 1 billion had 2000 people die. The latter country would have more deaths than the entire population of the former country but could be said to be handling the situation better because the former country lost half it's population as where the latter country lost significantly less than that.


    I'm not saying that going by pure ratio at any given time is a way to determine what nations are handling this the best either, there appears to be a exponential spread rather than linear spread but I think we can glean some insight from that.

    Yes exactly! Would cope with being stuck here but what if people get stuck in transit?
