My Telegraph did not even publish their sports edition in the Saturday paper. Normally its like a 14 pages tabloid. :(

Right after the Spanish flu, came a resurrection called.. The roaring twenties.

Which was followed by...The wall street crash and then...World War II

Nicky91 22-03-2020 04:03 PM

never, since a regular flu is also a ''coronavirus'' :laugh:


but when covid-19 will end, hmmm no one can say that, but maybe we can decide that ourselves if we don't have any social lives anymore this time, and live in lockdown this time

You make a good prime misters

I'm hoping that around August that we'll start to see it not be quite as infectious as it is at the moment.

But I'm no expert on diseases so my estimate is probably way off.:laugh:

No it isn't Nicky, regular flu is an influenza.

Most "common colds" however are coronavirus.

Covid-19 will never go away. The misinformation surrounding this is really staggering. We're not locked down "until the virus goes away" - this is a new human virus that will be around for the rest of time, or I guess theoretically, until virology advances to the point where we can kill any virus with a pill.

At some point though - whether through a vaccine or natural immunity building as people gradually get it and recover - it'll fade into being "just another virus". It'll kill a certain number of people every year like other viruses but it'll just be a part of life.

If the question is when will the restrictions and lockdown go away... Well, who knows. They can't go on indefinitely but it could be on-and-off for a year.

What toy soldier said...


However, if my post makes snse still

You are virus free.

In Italy it looks like it's improving. So maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.

bitontheslide 24-03-2020 05:21 AM

the problem is not with the virus effects on an individual, the problem is because it is new and we do not have decades of immunity from it. That means that if everyone gets it at the same time, our hospitals can't cope and so people who would normally survive die.

The number of deaths being reported across the globe now has little relation to the actual fatality rate of the virus, they reflect the particular country's capability to treat vast numbers of infected people at the same time. Italy and Spain's health services have been swamped, so people can't be treated and they die

It's improving because Italy is now a week or more into lockdown so infection rates are reduced, which will massively take the pressure off of services.

We can't stay on lockdown forever though, so it's just about "managing" the spread so that hospitals can cope, and to give as much time as possible for discovering and developing treatments. A vaccine is at least a year away but advances in the treatment of severe cases will save lives and are already happening fairly frequently.

I think we should stay on lockdown, until a vaccine is ready. I know it's a long time, but it won't be forever.
