I think that's a bit harsh arista,he has been taking advice from health ministers etc,is he supposed to ignore them ? very unfair to solely blame him aswell, he did what he was told and thought best, NONE of these countries know the outcome and neither do we,there is no proof that more people have died than would have, the president of the nursing staff who works in London,said they have everything they need and things are getting through, its all well and good us all sitting back blaming and saying what we should do ,we are as much in the dark as anyone,this thing will take people and no one will be able to stop it,all we can do is try and do as we are asked and support those in charge who have a thankless job to do at the minute,they wont get everything right ,no one would,but they are doing the best they can,cut them some slack and be helpful.Its been explained several times why the lockdown was done when it was and not straight away,that seems like a pretty reasonable thing to me. imo.

That's not true.. there have been breakouts of extremely similar coronaviruses within the last 20yrs there are 100s of academic articles and contingency plans on best practice from the WHO and many many other health advisory bodies.
It's a total cop out and a lie to say they didn't know what the outcome could be, so as a member of the public that is at risk the reaction should not be naw, poor boris he didn't know.. it should be what do you mean you didn't know?! Of course you know it's your damn job to know!!

Just to give you some further info on this line about how he's taking advice. When experts, ministers, or anyone else is providing advice, they don't say that he should do one thing or another, they only provide options with pros and cons. It is then the choice of the leader to pick the option he thinks is best.

Please stop peddling the myth that everyone who gets Covid gets severe respiratory symptoms anything like pneumonia. It isn't true OR helpful. |

You can Google academic papers from 2005-or-so that were warning that this was coming. Hopefully they've learned the lesson now because there will definitely be new outbreaks in future. And believe it or not this one isn't even comparatively all that bad. If SARS-1 had gone pandemic it would make this look like a walk in the park. |

The comparisons in the death rates from Spanish flu are not comparable either the death rate was 0.2% or something ..whereas this it's 3.4% less people infected more deaths.
Oh and Spanish flu came back, it was swine flu in 2009/10 H1N1

For Covid 3.4% of confirmed cases result in death but we know (for a fact) that testing at this point isn't just inadequate, it's ground to an almost total halt. You can't even get through to 111 to ASK. Some NHS front line staff can't get a test for 10 days+, other people with symptoms realistically can't get a test at all. The testing situation is even worse in Italy/France/Spain. The real number of cases is much, much higher. That's not just a theory at this point, it's just how it is... Not enough tests by a long, long way. Expert opinion still places the true death rate in the 1% range which yes is worse than most normal variants of flu and still a scary number, but it's not unprecedented and lower than both Spanish flu and the smaller epidemic in the 50's. |

I've read that figure a lot today as the exposure was so high, millions getting it even though the deaths were high the death rate based on those infected was low? Mind you that could have been from the 2009/ 10 H1N1 flu? Yep testing is pants. . Practically none existant, thing they're hoping most will peg it at home without any fuss. The death rate is still rising so who knows? I hope 1% is right over 3.4% :/

Yeah, going to take a while before we get to grips with the actual numbers involved.

Thus far, the number of deaths in the UK outwith hospitals should be extremely low, we haven't hit that level of crisis (yet) and most will have been transferred to hospital when moderately/severely ill but before death.

I just don't get these stats for the UK..
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Why Is the recovery figure so low and why are they saying only 163 people are critical if over 200 are dying a day?
