The whole world is going to detonate in the next two weeks. My guess is 5 m confirmed cases. At this rate US alone wil have at least 300.000 cases.

"Kayla Williams, a mother of three, died on Saturday 21 March, a day after paramedics were called to her home in Peckham.
Her husband, Fabian Williams, a refuse collector, said his wife was suffering from a cough, high fever and had severe chest and stomach pains when he called 999 on Friday.
Documents seen by the Guardian confirm paramedics were treating her as a suspected Covid-19 case.
Williams said: “I called 999 because my wife was breathless, she was vomiting and she had pains in her stomach. As I was talking to them she was getting worse and they told me to put her on the floor and to make her body flat.”
When the paramedic arrived at 8.32am she carried out some tests, Williams said. “She told me the hospital won’t take her, she is not a priority. She did not stay very long and she went outside to write her report and posted it through the door.”
Williams said his wife’s condition deteriorated the next day. He ran her a bath in the morning and helped her to get dressed, before feeding her some soup. After taking a short rest himself, he went into the front room where she had been resting to find his wife slumped head down. “She was already dead,” he said."

A Medical Worker Describes Terrifying Lung Failure From COVID-19 — Even in His Young Patients
“It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”
“Reading about it in the news, I knew it was going to be bad, but we deal with the flu every year so I was thinking: Well, it’s probably not that much worse than the flu. But seeing patients with COVID-19 completely changed my perspective, and it’s a lot more frightening.”
“Normally, ARDS is something that happens over time as the lungs get more and more inflamed. But with this virus, it seems like it happens overnight."

This is knocking out what should be perfectly fit, healthy people.
“I have patients in their early 40s and, yeah, I was kind of shocked. I’m seeing people who look relatively healthy with a minimal health history, and they are completely wiped out, like they’ve been hit by a truck. This is knocking out what should be perfectly fit, healthy people. Patients will be on minimal support, on a little bit of oxygen, and then all of a sudden, they go into complete respiratory arrest, shut down and can’t breathe at all.”They suddenly become unresponsive or go into respiratory failure.
“We have an observation unit in the hospital, and we have been admitting patients that had tested positive or are presumptive positive — these are patients that had been in contact with people who were positive. We go and check vitals on patients every four hours, and some are on a continuous cardiac monitor, so we see that their heart rate has a sudden increase or decrease, or someone goes in and sees that the patient is struggling to breathe or is unresponsive. That seems to be what happens to a lot of these patients: They suddenly become unresponsive or go into respiratory failure.”The lung is filled with so much fluid, displacing where the air would normally be.
“It’s called acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS. That means the lungs are filled with fluid. And it’s notable for the way the X-ray looks: The entire lung is basically whited out from fluid. Patients with ARDS are extremely difficult to oxygenate. It has a really high mortality rate, about 40%. The way to manage it is to put a patient on a ventilator. The additional pressure helps the oxygen go into the bloodstream.“Normally, ARDS is something that happens over time as the lungs get more and more inflamed. But with this virus, it seems like it happens overnight."

He's absolutely right! Basically, some people are as thick as shit. I read about bikers going to a country town and when confronted said they were out for a blast. Then you had a family of five from Liverpool being told to go home after driving to a North Wales resort for a day out on the beach. 
And people like these stupid fuckers are allowed to breed!!!!
In a Draconian world, everyone who stupidly, stubbornly, or for whatever reason, chose to put the rest of us at risk like those morons above, would be arrested and confined on a remote island, or similar, where they could do whatever they wanted including infecting just themselves. Arseholes!!!

One has to sympathise with the American people for having such an imbecile as a leader, also the imbecile medical experts that feed him this dangerous spiel.He's made and continues to make himself a total idiot,not only to the American people, but the entire world. His lunacy has become the brunt of many satire shows in America ,non better than Trevor Noah who if it wasn't such a serious subject is hilarious.
There are reports from medical experts that Trump is beginning to lose his mental health. Beginning to !!!

Club's contributions: An update from the chairman | Swansea
Boris Johnson is to send out 30 Million letters to all UK housholds, at a cost of £8M,. What can he tell us in a letter that we don't already know via TV, Internet, Radio, Social Media.etc. Is the man brain dead? This cost doesn't include postmen, who will be putting themselves at risk, and also risk spreading the virus. Surely there are numerous causes in this emergency that could put £8M+ to better use.
If he practiced what he preaches maybe he wouldn't be in the situation hs's in now.

There are many scientists who are not worried at all. They say all of this is just a mass hysteria. I am always open to listen to the other side, and lot of things these scientists are talking about makes sense. What do you think?

Britain started to prepare for the Second World War at least a year before it actually started. The government expected the war to disrupt and threaten the lives of civilians left at home. Between 1938 and 1939, the government thought of all the possible dangers and difficulties the Home Front would face during war, and started to take precautions. People were encouraged to think about their safety, and the government spent a great deal of time educating people on what to do in situations such as an air raid, or a gas attack, as well as providing information on how to make rations stretch further and how to keep yourself healthy. By September 1939 some 38 million gas masks had been given out, house to house, to families in Britain. Actually, everyone in Britain was given a gas mask in a cardboard box, to protect them from gas bombs, which could be dropped during air raids. Posters reminded people to carry their gas mask at all times. People were fined if they were caught without their gas masks. There was a special gas mask for children .....and for babies.
And in 2020 Britain doesn't have enough PPE for medical workers!!!

Some good news from Denmark.
Remember this one?
Danish top virologists have announced at the Danish PM press-conference that the infectious pressure in Denmark has fallen from 2.6 on March 12 to 1.4 on March 24, which means that Denmark has halted the spread of the virus.
In a couple of days the Danish Serum Institute will be ready with a immunoglobin (antibody) test and the Danish government will start testing the entire population to find the people who have recovered from the coronavirus (asymptomatic people and people with mild symptoms who have never been tested for the virus). These people will get a so called coronavirus "passport" and will be allowed to go out without any restrictions. If they want to party, no problem.
The Danish government has decided to gradually normalise the situation and the normalisation will start after Easter.
1. The first group is the people with coronavirus passport who already have acquired immunity.
2. The second group is the singles. There won't be any restrictions for the singles under 50 (1+ m out of 5.5 m Danes).
3. If everything goes well the third group will be the parents who have small children.
4. If everything goes well the fourth group will be the children. The schools will reopen around May 1.
The government expects that the vast majority of Danes will acquire herd immunity by June and we'll be back to normal life.
Interesting.

This must be an urban myth. At least once a day I hear ( digitally of course) from people convinced that coved-19 was in Swansea before Christmas. I personally know half a dozen people who were ill during that period, myself mildly as well.
The local GPs thought it was flu and after 2 weeks suffering prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection.
I worry that if this rumour takes hold people here will consider themselves immune and ignore government guidelines.

I had a nasty cold several weeks before the virus became 'public' and I still have the remnants of it. But then that's my life these days with my fragile immune system. Whenever I go to a crowded indoor place such as a shop, I usually pick up someone's bug and can't go visiting friends if there's any sort of illness in the family. Mind you, I suspect that some of them use that as an excuse when they don't want me to visit!
So far I haven't exhibited any of the symptoms associated with covid in that I don't have a high temperature or aches and pains nor do I have a dry cough - although I do have the occasional 'productive' cough, which I've always had as I'm a smoker. So far so good and I hope it stays that way!
