Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Convenient. Coincidentally he has an impending deadline for the book he has been commissioned to write. To get the 350k down payment he has to meet the deadline. So excuse me for having doubts about this announcement. I suppose that the problem with being a serial liar, no-one is inclined to believe him whether something is true or not. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,186 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 TBH, this board has been the most rational place on the internet in terms of coronavirus, and I on on a shedload of places I think it is becuase we are so deep into analysis and risk/reward computations, and to slide it over from footie to pandemic matters is fairly natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,317 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 The GPMB -Global Preparedness Monitoring Board is led by former World Health Organisation (WHO) director-general and past Norwegian prime minister, Gro Harlem Brundtland. It warned Governments in 2018 ‘A quick-moving pathogen has the potential to kill tens of millions of people, disrupt economies and destabilise national security. a future pandemic similar to the Spanish flu could spread faster than ever before due to modern advances in international travel, the document said. It could take just 36 hours for an airborne illness to travel around the world and kill 80,000,000 people,' Government really ought to pay attention to them..... 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost 28,000 to flu 5 years ago and averaged out of years we lose about 17,000 a year, yet we almost take these loses as something which happens each year. Again, I don't want to sound cold, but if we in the UK can keep the numbers to somewhere near the high level of flu deaths we had 5 years ago and have the "herd immunity" that we need for the future, then as terribly sad as that number of loses would be, I would see that as good an outcome as we could hope for.

Vesper 30,186 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think the main thing that is about to happen that will FREAK people out is when they (meaning the EU nations not already there and the US/Canada) start to hit peak ventilator penetration levels, and they start to have far too few that is when granny gets death triaged,(ie no ventilator for her) when a normal healthy 35yo who has it super bad gets death triaged that is when the panic will kick in as people will finally realise that they cannot just wander into the doc and it will all be alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
