I see there was a concert in Cardiff last night with thousands crammed in . I honestly am lost at the reaction of some , I don't get it , is it pure ignorance or just a reflection on the generation of narcissistic brats  we've produced .

Did Italy and Britain catch the virus at the same time?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Without condemning them as im sure theres others but read that pubs were open in Omagh and packed from this morn

Will it be stupidity that kills off the human race. The signs arent good 🙊

Did Italy and Britain catch the virus at the same time?

31 January for Italys first confirmed case

29 February first to be infected in the UK (a good few got it on the Diamond Princess cruise ship before that)

There won't be a safe vaccine for years. They rushed a vaccine for swine flu and it left teenagers with narcolepsy. And swine flu was mickey mouse compared to this.

What qualifies you to make that statement - How do you know a swine flue vaccine was "mickey mouse" compared to Covid-19? Do you work in this field?

If I had qualifications in vaccine science, do you think I'd be hanging around gaaboard today? 

You are making a statement without foundation. Unless you have inside info what was the point of that message. Provide a link to the second part of your statement and then that might be deemed useful.

You could have as easily found this link yourself. There are many others.

Did Italy and Britain catch the virus at the same time?

Yep.

Unfortunately for Italy, one of their first cases was asymptomatic for a long time and around several hospitals before eventually being diagnosed. Add that to their more elderly population as well as their much more physically interactive social scene (do you hug yer mates every time you see them) - and you have an explosion in numbers early on.

Anyone with a link to a chart which shows number of cases and deaths in Italy?

People really aren't grasping the financial severity of what might happen. Just heard of some bloke who's exchanged on some development without having the finance in place to complete, no development finance available now so thats about £500,000 down the drain. Not sure how many on zero hours contracts in the country but believe plenty of people have been let go around Manchester already.

Even the OO has cancelled all their services and meetings etc.

Life expectancy is directly linked to GDP. If this isn't dealt with promptly the resulting impact on the economy will likely kill far greater numbers than the virus itself

That doesn't really explain the huge disparity between the 2 countries though?
