"Contain, delay and mitigate any outbreak"By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: APRIL 8, 2020These words from Public Health England have framed policy so far. The first phase (Contain)  saw efforts to trace, test and isolate anyone carrying the virus and the people they had met. The second phase (Delay) has seen big efforts to impede the spread of the virus by keeping people apart and keeping them from  places of work as well as from entertainment. The final phase (Mitigate) is to learn to live with the disease, limiting its spreads with sensible precautions  with enough capacity to treat patients who do get it whilst we await vaccinations.Their initial plan played down the extent of the controls needed for the second phase we are now in.  They told us on March 3 that if we got to this stage it would mean "people distancing strategies such as school closures, encouraging greater home working, reducing the number of large social gatherings- whilst ensuring the country's ability to run as normally as possible".  They seemed to move on from  the bit about as near normal as possible when they came to design the detail of the lock down. It emerged it entailed closing all physical shops other than food and medicines, stopping the car and homes markets  and much else besides.  They promised  to "implement a distribution strategy for the UK's stockpiles of key medicines and equipment" . After early issues with inadequate supplies the army was brought in to help and orders stepped up  to business. .The idea of  delaying the virus  was to reduce "the risk of overlapping with seasonal flu and other challenges that the colder months bring". This implies they expected to lift the controls come late Spring and early summer.We now see some other countries deciding to relax their controls progressively  but carefully in the next few weeks. China has done so.  Austria has just set out a timetable starting next week by re opening lots of small shops. Sweden and South Korea have not gone very far in imposing controls in the first place though Sweden is now taking more powers. The issue is what is the trigger to start relaxing the controls? Is it a tailing off in the death rate? A tailing off in the recorded number of new infections? How much value can we place on the numbers for new infections when most people that get it stay at home and are not tested?We do need greater visibility on how this crucial call will be made. Some will argue the controls must go on for longer to avoid a possible second wave. Others will point to the big economic damage delays in getting back to work creates. As there was always a three phase strategy it would at least be good to know what the trigger is for going to the third phase and putting Shut Down  UK behind us.

Buywell the most bullish i have seen on the FTSE.

"buywell calls the FTSE 100 to 45000"

Think he made a mistake with a fat finger lol

[sr2day] 08/4/2020 02:45

these Chinese are magicians. they can make things appear and disappear in no time.a bit like Trump actually.

[asdb9] 08/4/2020 00:14

So what does everybody think she is suffering from. I've been doing lots searching and it seems it has a combination of many mental conditions. That last rant, talking to it itself, without third party provocation suggests there's a bit of schizophrenia in there. What da ya all think

------------ buywell's market update ----------------

USA markets dropped like a brick after UK markets close

The next leg down IMO will start soon and according to DOW THEORY it is going to be leg 3 of wave 3

This is the biggest of all in a Bear Market situation

Bear markets on average last 10 months

This one has been going around say 1 month give or take

The first and second legs have taken USA markets down circa 35% or thereabouts

When this next leg starts buywell expects it will be bigger and longer than what we have seen so far

buywell calls the DOW to 15000

buywell calls the FTSE 100 to 4500

Those calls are for now , and subject to Covid being put back inits cage and cleared away before this xmas.

If Covid is still roaming around or worse still has mutated into Covid-20

Then the led downwards will continue into 2021

All IMO

dyor

take care -- it's your money ( I hope )

China seem to have discovered a way to 'cure' their corona victims. No deaths yesterday !

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:44

It is only a Tory government that would view 20,000 deaths as a good result.

ROFLMAO!

Coronavirus: NHS staff with Covid-19 given wrong test results


Oh dear, more problems and errors. Perhaps if the Tory voting NHS elite weren't busy feathering their own nests over the years we would have more of an efficient and well run ship. Complete disaster and the nurses and front-line staff pay the price.

Tory legacy for all to see folks. Must be really hard for the die-hard Tories to swallow.

LOL

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:37

Germany have less deaths than the UK.

Facts are facts.

Put your head in the sand, where it belongs.

[cheshire pete] 07/4/2020 23:29

Problem is Minerve, have heard it all before scores of times on the lefty BBC, a study by the Institute of..., a think tank, some Society, University of wherever. Quite happy to give it airtime as long as it suits their left wing, anti-Tory, pro-EU agenda. Not being pedantic, just saying it as it is.

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:22

cheshire

Whatever happens it is bad and will be one of the worst outcomes in Europe, you can be sure of that. Be pedantic if you wish. Your little lover boy Boris and his cronies have failed us.

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:20

Anyway, folks, if you have it or have symptoms, this may help.....

[cheshire pete] 07/4/2020 23:20

So what do they know about how the UK is coping with the pandemic then. Do they state their assumptions, margins of error etc.? You seem happy to take what they say as gospel.
Our NHS is showing why it is the best in the world.
As Professor Whitty said earlier there is a lot to learn about testing from Germany.

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:14

Looking at the measures taken by the UK to curb the spread of the disease, the institute says the peak is expected in 10 days’ time, on 17 April. At that point the country will need more than 102,000 hospital beds, the IHME says. There are nearly 18,000 available, meaning a shortfall of 85,000.


Well, let's hope they are wrong, eh?

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:12

By August the UK is projected to have recorded more Covid-19 deaths than Italy, Spain, France and Germany combined.



Brexit Britain - doing deaths better!

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:08

Prof Neil Ferguson, of Imperial College, has a history of error.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle


Why, got one of your own studies Professor Cheshire Pete?

ROFLMAO!

[minerve 2] 07/4/2020 23:04

They can't bear to hear the truth that their hero and his gang have failed.
