Guys, please ease off on the scaremongering as it is all guesswork.

We know what we have to do, practice good hygiene, stay indoors and not mix with others.

We do this and the big man will look after the rest. It may be a long, long time or it may not buy we’ve got to dig in for our fellow man and woman.

TFK well ahead of the curve in trying to flatten the curve here.

I think a witch hunt of these cunts is in order.

Is it true we have the 11th worst death rate in the world

Yup - Yet the Flushirts on here would have us believe we have it beaten.

Excluding micro nations?

San Marino fucking hell.

Yknow, apart from the deaths, they’ve nearly for this thing beat.

It’s “only” 30 deaths and has been stablised at that for a good while.

My favourite micro nation.

God’s revenge on them for killing Senna.

Do we have recovery stats?

I’m tracking us versus the Danes on this one.

  • the first case on the island of Ireland was Feb 27th and it was the same there
  • we have a similar population size although they are about 12% bigger
  • we began to shut down on the same date (March 12th)
  • our death rate so far is pretty much the same though we are slightly better than them
  • they have/had 153 in ICU, we have/had 148
  • we have 177 more cases than them but a factor in that will be that we have tested more per head of pop. They had conducted 35.5k tests as of yesterday where as we had conducted 30.2k cases by the 30th, rolling forward at 1.5k tests (though I think they said it was more yesterday), we’d be up to 34.7k. 12% lower population here so when you add that that would be an equivalent of 38.9k there. That’s around an extra 500 cases they should have at a 15% positive rate so we’d be pretty much level

We are very very close together.

They are continuing to talk about exiting a lockdown after Easter, with phased reopenings. We of course will have differences in infrastructure and capacity but on the trend we’re on and with the continued scaling up of activities, I don’t see why we can’t at least discuss some phased reopenings on the 19th (which would be a week after them).

Excluding countries beginning with S.

The large group of Danes that went to Cheltenham have fucked them.
