I beg to differ. The Swindon Advertiser never lies. "Dyson is redirecting staff and resources to set up two production lines at a former wartime RAF base at Hullavington, Wiltshire, where the company had previously planned to manufacture an electric car". Edit the vacuum's are produced in Malaysia and the head office is in Singapore which is why I'd never buy a Dyson vac again. A lady down the road from me was taken off in an ambulance last night with suspected complications from the virus. Apparently they've put her on one of the Dyson ventilators and now she's picking up nicely. That sucks.

So in other words both I and the Swindon Advertiser were in fact correct on both counts. As indeed was I......Well...On the car bit anyway....Fucked it up on the ventilator bit though. It doesn't really matter either way does it mate, getting the ventilators is the only thing that matters.

Can you actually read or do you have someone reading this for you? If so, I would sack them. Their level of "comprehension" with the English language has failed massively. Bollox, you were taking the piss and then edited your post! I will need a bit more detail than that. I WAS NOT TAKING THE PISS.
My aim was to bring this thread away from politics, and more to a "day to day" level of how we are living/coping.
You on the other hand seem to have jumped the gun.

This also happened to a bloke who lives down the road from Werrington (the poster, not the place) earlier in the thread. Just shows how much this situation really sucks.

Oh I'm pretty sure that we haven't seen the last of that little joke.
Maybe we should run a sweep on it. It does seem to amuse some on here.

If you were not taking the piss then please accept my apology. A week of confinement and working from a laptop on my sofa seems to have made me edgy, people on here enjoying seeing the PM and Health secretary getting the virus and wishing it on other people in government who are key to the fight has boiled my piss and I may of misconstrued your post. I am sorry for any offense caused.

I am sorry for any offense caused. I was not taking the piss. I cannot even remember what my edit was, other than maybe to add my last paragraph? - the bit about working the maths backwards, from icu critical cases to actual positive cases (with the new places in London Brum and Manchester being prepared).. That would put us in the same basket as Italy and Spain.
No apology needed, as long as you accept that I wasn't piss taking. Believe me I would not piss take or joke about this. We here have family fully prepared to shop for us. Why would I ask them to do that? It seems to me that any age group is now at risk. Parents, grand parents, and great grand parents (I fit all categories) will not put their family at risk.

Brexit mates Dyson got the gig? I don't want to get in the way of your political point scoring but maybe, just maybe it didn't pass the test and reach the required criteria. Don't let any other logical possibility stop you linking it to Brexit though. Yet by defending the government's every action so aggressively on this thread, you're also political point scoring, algae

Germany still remains the massive anomaly. Master race. Numerator AND denominator. How many people are being tested and who are they testing? Be careful of apples and oranges. Apples and oranges? Really? Look at the numbers.

There was no mention in my post that you have quoted of the government or any political party. Your childish wordplay and the fact that Stokeson liked your post really reinforces my belief that your opinion is quite frankly irrelevant. I won't reply to you again as you have nothing to say that remotely interests me, there is a world full of keyboard warriors and you are nowhere close to being the best of the worst. You just don't matter!

I think this is probably happening quite a lot. I don't necessarily disagree with under-reporting since the goal is presumably to reduce panic but on the other hand, the authorities really ought to be being straight with people. My county in Western NY reports just 4 corona deaths, but the father of a very close colleague of mine died this week 24 hours after he started exhibiting the classic symptoms - and they haven't included him in the statistics.

Late night news:
A newspaper can now reveal a report made by The People Health Agency regarding a forecast they've made about the Corona virus.
Sweden has the weakest restrictions of all against this deadly disease. And there's a reason for it.
They expect 2.044.000 to get the Corona virus. Our population is 10.200.000. So it means 20.04%, during this the first wave of Corona. They expect 102.200 persons will seek medical help at the hospitals, where 17.130 are severe cases, meaning closed care in hospital and a further 4.950 of all will even need Intensive care.
And there's a problem. Sweden has the lowest number of beds in the EU! 2.4 per 1000 citizens. It means only 25% will get the bed they need here.

Mate, I have given up following the stats, and trying to predict what will happen.
We (Europe) are in for a massive battering. If Italy hasn't peaked yet, then this thing is loose and it will take it's toll.

The more they test, the less dangerous it appears as the ratio of deaths to cases will be lowered, and that wouldn't stoke up enough fear.
Let's discuss it being more pandemonium than pandemic.
The fact it's deemed that being out in nature, with endless cubic miles of air and sky, is considered more dangerous than being in a crowded supermarket suggests to me that it's a totalitarian test of the masses.
Oh, and if it was that dangerous, why are flights still arriving?
Today, I'm off out. Fuck this nonsense.
And I won't be near another single human being on the planet. Unlike those out shopping.

So let’s discuss your point above then. This has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on the basis of the best scientific evidence. So if as you claim it’s pandemonium instead, perhaps you can direct us all to your excellent sources of evidence.

As someone on the frontline I’ve witness lots of wonderful acts this last week however the one thing that’s got me hugely frustrated / annoyed is a small percentage of the Young and their parents attitude towards the virus - parents self isolating because they believe they have the virus allowing their sons (primarily) out into the community knowing the risks. - people continuing to have house parties. - people shopping with bad coughs and wandering around the local supermarkets. - people having a total lack of spacial awareness. - people exploiting the elderly by using the corona virus. I just hope that once the virus has finally ran it’s course that those in the top 2 points and bottom one hang their heads in shame and receive the appropriate punishments for knowingly putting people’s lives at risks. Thankfully these people are very small in number.

It is not true that being out in nature, is considered more dangerous than being in a crowded supermarket!!!! At least according to all the experts that I've been listening to in Germany. Here people are actively encouraged to go out - but basically keep the distance (and the further the better). I don't know where you heard this but stating such things isn't helpful. I am also planing a long solitary hike today. Enjoy your trip & stay safe!

Sigh has anybody else on here shown symptoms?
I ache all over, have the worst head ache especially behind the eyes, saw throat, no appetite however no temperature or cough?
Obviously I'm following all recommended process just feel like shit.
Last in contact with others apart from direct family Tuesday at work sent home on furlough since then.
Might just be general cold/flu symptoms but can never be sure.

Might just be general cold/flu symptoms but can never be sure. I know a couple who came back from Italy who are sure they have had it say headaches, aching and loss of taste/ appetite were the primary symptoms for them. They werent tested. Lots of people saying it comes in two waves too, with varying symptoms. But it's really hard to know what's it and what's not. I had a period a while back, before it all kicked off where I was short of breath when only very mild exertion and crazy palpitations. They were the only two symptoms and I only really thought anything of it in retrospect. But I reckon that could have been it. We wont know until we have an anti body test. Look after yourself. Wish you well.

I think the point is that the testing in and of itself reduces the spread of the disease. Lots of people have very mild symptoms and they're the ones who will have infected the most others as they'll have been able to go about their usual business. If those mild cases are identified as CV then they can be isolated, which otherwise they wouldn't have been. The sky article mentions that it's still likely Germany will catch up with everyone else though. There must surely come a point when you reach a critical mass that you can't test and isolate without a full lockdown. Is Germany in full lock down to the same extent as us yet? I found a few bits about Bavaria and Saarland but couldn't find anything for the rest of Germany other than social distancing measures? Has Germanstokie reported?
