gbh2, you're missing the point. These are confirmed cases of such seriousness that they have required medical intervention on the whole which is when you are actually tested. There are many many more who have or have had this and caused no strain on the NHS. These are the estimated figures the world needs to see to put perspective on this.

This is not rabies or Legionnaires. Most people are and will recover without help but this isn't being made clear to ease panic.

'We estimate currently XX% of the workforce is self isolating of which we expect 99+% will return to work within 14 days. This turnover is expected to continue for XX weeks till immunity is built' sounds a lot more positive but hell sells less papers so no one will print it.

Do you not read the daily report?

[gbh2] 19/3/2020 15:15

Current Active cases 2,496 of which 20 are serious and we have 65 Recovered.

Crest announced that earlier today. That's why they are 25% down and we are 8-10. Has holding back the divi at this early stage done anything to protect the value of the company? NO. Will other companies blindly follow this route? YES.
Cancel throwing money away with buyback by all means but keep investors interested in your stock by keeping the divi please.

I think several things will help:
1. FFS somebody please start openly reporting the amount of non serious infected people that are recovered.
2. Give an estimate of people home isolated presumed positive but not tested who are needing absolutely no assistance from the NHS and will be fit and back at work shortly.
3. STOP SELLING PERFECTLY GOOD COMPANIES THAT WILL NOT GO BANKRUPT DUE TO THIS.

just saying

Jug, I'll cherish you being lost for words...;)
There is what we perceive is happening,.. and there's the reality of what is happening.
In my view, there's no quick fix to this global economic black hole...

Does anybody know statistically how many people are off work at any one time in the uk due to illness? Say 500k of the working public were ill in anyone week I am sure the country wouldn't grind to a halt & as most people don't need hospital treatment isn't it better to let it run its course & die out? rather than delay it for what could be months or years?

Animal farm is coming true good old napoleon the pig

[cherryandwhite2] 19/3/2020 14:05

I know Clarky Im struggling that every supposedly civilised country have completely lost all sense of anything, its a very mild bug, 4 out of 5 will recover, the deaths so far are primarily elderly people with underlying health issues. I must be just missing something. someone please put me at ease. lol

[owencoffin] 19/3/2020 14:03

the animals are striking back.

[cherryandwhite2] 19/3/2020 13:58

I also think China should be dealt with very severely after this is over, Countries should look at themselves and ask if they are happy doing business with such medieval societies. I have lived in China but when you get out of the cities its like going back 500 years. No wonder most of the viruses start there, how they treat animals is appalling, Plus they all live in the same rooms as each other, dogs, cats, chickens pigs everything all living under the same bloody roof.

[gbh2] 19/3/2020 13:58

I thinks its having quite an impact on the East, if they were to tell the truth, Unlikely as it is!

[clarky5150] 19/3/2020 13:52

Ahh, cherry I quite liked your post til the conspiracy theory bit.lol

[cherryandwhite2] 19/3/2020 13:50

I must admit I am at a loss about this virus, unless there is a conspiracy going on no one knows about I am at a complete loss with this paranoia.

Towards the end of the first world war thousands of soldiers were dying on all sides, not due to the war. And the doctors couldn't understand it or save them. Because the war hadn't yet ended doctors/scientists didn't have the time or resources to look into the problem Only as soon as the war finally ended could they look into it. But they were too late, everyone one had gone back home and as we now know took Spanish flu back with them. Inadvertently infecting the whole of Europe. Before they found a cure 50 million people had died.

When you consider in comparison 10 million died in the actual war Spanish flu was quite a bug.

Compare that to this virus there is no comparison at all, which is why I cant quite get my head around it. Until we start to die in our hundreds of thousands I as yet don't see a major problem.

One other point to make China don't need guns and tanks to take over the world. Just a little bug is all it takes to bring the western world to its knees.
