so obviously not but I do know a mate a couple of weeks ago that had had the flu jab but went to hospital with flu symptoms and breathing problems that they put down to childhood asthma that had resurfaced after 30 years . I know loads of people who reckon they were really ill will the flu this year , never been as bad , but obviously it was just the flu . Now this virus appears to mostly afflicting night profile or rich and famous I’d suggest because they’re being tested . Now looking at the rates in other countries it’s going go get a lot worse and a lot of people are going to be infected and a significant number die but I do wonder if it’s been around longer than we thought.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
66million people in the UK. 500 and odd confirmed cases.
Almost like a lottery if you know someone with it.
If you have it and self-isolate for 14 days at home how long after that before it's safe for others to come in the hous and touch stuff?

Johnson is basically this guy
The chief exec of the WRU is that guy...
"I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large swab of virus that supposedly injured some people. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the stadium is open and people are having a wonderful time."
Reporter: "That statement is incorrect."
WRU exec: "Love to prove that, wouldn't ya? Get your name into the National Geographic."

Interesting bit in looking at Italy. It is very much confined to the north, the retirement hotspots are all in the North (so much so that the Italians are offering benefits to actually retire in the South.) There's benefits of living in the North in that the health services are deemed to better (hence why they retire there.)
Compare that to us and there perhaps isn't that concentration of the elderly in such small spaces as everything is equally as crap everywhere. More and more it seems Italy is a weird outlier due to a combination of factors.

Its done - all games off till April 4th. The virus will be rampant in the UK at that time so there's no way this season will be completed. It will be made void early april.

Football doesn't matter anymore.
It's going to be like the end of Ghostbusters soon.

The figure is way higher. You can't confirm cases without testing and the general public aren't being offered tests even if they show symptoms. The official advice is if you show symptoms lock yourself away and don't bother the medical profession unless you're completely floored by it for 7 days or so.
That's not going to show a count of how many people have it.
Edit - According to the Department of Health there have been 29764 people tested and of those 590 tested positive. (9am 12 March)
That's a much higher percentage than the 500 odd out of 66 million you are working on and much lower odds than winning the lottery!

To be fair if you're locked away in a bedroom all by yourself there really isn't much else to do and bog roll and tissues are increasingly difficult to find on the shop shelves. The bedsheets can only absorb so much.
There's two factors - age of population, and congestion of population.
We won't be hit as hard as Italy. Or at least we shouldn't be, but the measures the government are taking are seemingly hell bent on trying to make sure we are.
