Royal Rother I think that is exactly it, yes.

Allow 3-4 months of a flattened peak for the younger elements of the population then release the oldies and have a new peak. If it all comes at once it would be completely unmanageable.




I'm thinking more in terms of the psychology

Imagine you are 75 and you have been "locked up" for 4 months
(think of fitness, vitamin D issues, psychoses as well)

Now, you've been reading, watching TV and you say that "outside"
is 57 Million people with 60-100% of them tolerant to the Coronavirus
and maybe carrying it (not clear if they would be, but I presume so)

You would be stepping into a minefield. It would be like taking
a holiday in an African village stricken with Ebola.

I think a huge number would be too scared to leave the house EVER

It's Ghettoisation, an infringement of civil liberties. Selective house-arrest.

Nameless Sorry, but this is becoming utterly counter productive and this thread is now officially off limits.
Guessing at numbers and outcomes by those with no actual knowledge doesn’t help.
Extrapolating using an obvious preexisting bias doesn’t help.
I can understand that it could get bad but I reckon some people are talking themselves into a breakdown, which helps no one.
I’m going to do sensible stuff to keep me and my family as safe as possible, with the add on that that will also help the wider community.
But constantly calculating and publishing guesses about death rates to several decimal places is not what I want to read several times a day.
Hopefully we can all get back to talking football on this football forum when the new season starts.
I hope everyone stays healthy and we don’t see the worst outcomes some are suggesting are inevitable.
In the meantime for the sake of my sanity as much as anything I’m going to isolate myself from this thread.

+1, there's a massive thread on AE about it, we don't need another one here.


Not like there is any ‘team’ stuff to talk about for the foreseeable though is it?

90,000 die every year from the Flu, but please do keep buying into the fear-mongering being peddled left and right.


And 2 million could die of this.
At 6% or 7% as Wuhan and Italy have seen, and 60% get it, like Boris wants, that's 2 million dead.

Eases the ultimate pressure on public services :wink:


Also saves on pensions, the Tory dream. Except when they find out the majority of dead people voted Tory.

The government say it is their intent to go for herd-immunity. That is 60% or more of the population to get it.

Stick with the lowest-possible number = 60%

The population is 63 Million

60% of that is 37,800,000

The current worldwide rate of deaths per confirmed infections is 3.7%. Italy and China are much higher.

Weighed against this is a POSSIBLE (no-one actually KNOWS) 9-10 times the official number
with it but not on the books as official cases. So say, for example, the UK's 1100 official cases
"actually means there are 11,000 with the virus, and so far, "only 21 dead"

Basically divide the Wuhan/China rate (average say 7% by 11 = 0.636%

NOTHING, right?

0.636% of 37,800,000 is 240,048

240,048 UK Dead is for just 60% getting it, with an overall death rate of under 0.7% (under 1%)

The Govt were saying 80% might get it (50,400,000) and WHO thinks the overall
death rate may well be 1-2%

1% is over half a million UK dead.

2% is a million UK dead


Yes, 2 million is probably a high percentage. It depends on how seriously people take their own health and ignore the government.

I live in a region bigger than the UK and only 3 deaths. Then again people were told they could go out once a day at one point.

sandman Wish some people would understand that this is NOT oxf*rd "scaremongering".

This is real, it is dangerous for us all and it is only going to get worse.



THANK-you, Sandman

I am not even SLIGHTLY “scaremongering”

As for stats, the bigger the population, the more real stats become. I post the stats CURRENTLY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN

You can see the infections/Deaths in Italy, for example. There is no “interpretation” involved. They only conjecture is the relationship between confirmed cases and those people who are symptomless or have mild symptoms and haven’t “officially” been recorded with CV19

It may be 1:3, 1:5, 1:10 but I don’t think ANY expert has suggest 1 in 10

Nobody (probably under orders) is extrapolating the POSSIBLE total deaths

We had 60-100 Million deaths in 1918-19 when the world population was two billion and other than soldiers, there was very little international travel.

I am not remotely scared OR scare-mongering. If I get it I get it, if I die, I die.

If I die of CV19 I won’t get cancer.

But this, IMO, is the biggest thing we have ever seen. 2008 will be a blip. 9/11 a hiccup in comparison.

One thing though. Has the Chinese infection rate just STOPPED? Why? how?

How many goals per minute would the coronvirus get in League One?

The mortality rate if you are not old, unfit / unhealthy or ill is practically zero.

Yes but it is not as simple aa live/die. A young healthy person can end up having their life seriously changed if they contracr it.

No-one should panic but take this shit seriously.

Especially as the mortality rate is so high for elderly people and this virus is so contagious.

So by my calculations, if we signed COVID-19 and played it up front every minute of every game for the rest of the season, we would score 0 goals.

CountryRoyal Reckon we will get partial refund on season tickets if the season is abandoned? Or at least reduced season ticket cost for next season *if all this shit is over by then.

Yeh, maybe.

Think I saw a pig flying earlier too.

The PHE (Public Health England) briefing fo senior NHS officials
has been leaked. In The Guardian today

1 Predicts up to 7.9 Million may be hospitalised
2 Pandemic likely to be around until Spring 2021 (1 Year +)
3 Up to 80% of UK population likely to be infected
4 May dip for a while in Summer, returning November
5 Best estimates say 10% of critical workers off sick at any one time
6 No more screening
7 Case numbers likely to rise very quickly for 10-14 weeks
8 Half a million UK may die
9 1% mortality rate will mean 531,000 UK deaths
10 0.6% mortality rate would mean 318,660 UK deaths

EDIT: Perspective: 450,000 UK Citizens died in World War II 1939-1945
