Wrangodog Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 More chance of us oldies dying from the flu. It could be like the day after Diana died, the SFA were guilt-tripped into cancelling games when 99% of Scotland couldn't give a flying feck about her. Do we trust the SFA/SPFL to get anything right ? Naw, we don't. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apathy and acceptance at what humanity or a section of greedy power hungry arseholes are doing, is the threat.

Keep hearing this yes you are more likely to die from flu, but this is on top of the normal flu deaths, and cancer which was mentioned earlier in the thread. These illnesses will continue, with the addition of this virus. Having said that I am happy to take my chances, and we should carry on normal activities, but be more vigilant. Just had an email at work advising on hand washing procedures and when to wash, quite frankly if you were not doing this already, you deserve a dose of something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sign in the bogs to remind people to wash their hands would be a good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Sadly the threat of coronavirus reinforced by a stiffly worded e-mail from their employer is unlikely to change the habits of a lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraz65 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: You answered it yourself. It's likely that somewhere between 25 and 75% of the population will contract the virus. This will depend on a number of factors, including the success of self isolation, sanitary practices etc. Previous modelling on H1N1 predicts that the overall effect on the global economy could be as high as a GDP reduction of 7%, similar to the 2007 financial crisis. 80% of those affected will have mild symptoms, 20% will require hospital admission and 5% will require ICU. These will mostly be older people with chronic health conditions, The strategy in most countries is one of containment and delay to stop health services being overwhelmed. It's not so much a question of stopping people getting the virus per se as it is of slowing the spread. If Coronavirus is as bad as seasonal 'flu then it's a major event. At this point in time, it looks as though it will be a lot worse, with a mortality rate of 1% vs. 0.1% for influenza A and a similar reproduction rate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 9 minutes ago, fraz65 said: ...a mortality rate of 1%.... It might not sound it, but this is ridiculously high. One death for every hundred who contract it, with a "reasonable worst case scenario" of 80% contraction rate, equates to almost half a million deaths by my calculation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If China was still as much a closed book it was 40years ago we wouldn't have heard of this either.
