China Coronavirus

[Milltown Row2]

No fan of Leo but thought that was a very good speech in the circumstances

Yer hole. Didn't once try to explain 1000% of something.

1000% is 10 times too much.

Is it not 100?

Is that net?

[rodney trotter]

It's more then what the idiot up North Arlene Foster is taking.
If Boris Johnson said jump in the fire she would, just to feel British.
The Republic might take all the measures but its no use if 6 counties on the same island aren't.

So how do you claim a 3 month mortgage holiday?

Does it also apply to BTL mortgages so it can be passed on to tenants who could be in trouble?

What did your Prime Minister have to say?

A whole pile of stuff about financial support. Keep up, Ambrose ffs.

Tbf though Varadkar already done that as far back as 9th March when he outlined SSP increase etc. I work for a northern company who operate in South and who don't pay any sick, so this will be a lifeline to me

You stick to your 'Dirua' thread and we'll all be grand.

Outstanding leadership from Leo Varadkar.

Relative to.the commonly accepted definition of a pandemic.
Mortality 150% of the usual.

It looks like being nowhere near that..

Obviously we need to reduce infection rates but I honestly think the level of panic is overdone.

150% of the usual what?

If mortality rate of "usual" flu is 0.1%, and COVID-19 is 1%, then that is 1000% of "the usual". Current estimates are COVID-19 has mortality rate nearer 5%, so just the 5000% of "the usual" - assuming you are using flu as your yardstick for "the usual".

Your maths is wrong. Should be 100% and 500% but your point is still valid. Some just won't be told.

Sorry, its not.

100% of 0.1% is still 0.1%

1000% of 0.1% is 1.0%

Oops, started something there!

You know what this thread needs? Another three pages of people bickering about how to calculate percentages.

[WT4E]

Sorry I haven't read back trying to keep off internet these days but I have a question.

If UK are saying that 20000 deaths would be a good result (total population 70m approx)

And china have total deaths of approx 4000 and appear to be coming out the other side (total population 1.4bn approx)

Why is the trend so different?

[armaghniac]

China isn't finished. Once they release the lockdown they'll have more cases, although they'll be watching out for them this time.

You could only clear the thing by testing everyone and then by testing or quarantining arrivals at airports.
