Another 460 deaths in the UK today... one every three minutes.
... from heart disease.
What is the government doing to isolate us from sweets, sticky buns, and Greggs?
And YES, you can catch heart disease from someone else: "Would you like one of my doughnuts?"
Did the markets fall and economy collapse due to the sticky bun? No.
Let's get some perspective please on this teeny weeny problem called CV.

Thought I would christen the new thread with my regularly asked but never answered query.
If the CV worst case for UK is something like 250k deaths:
- are all of those extra to the 600k or so people who die each year in the UK, or is there a lot of crossover with people who are already ill (which is what the Italian figures suggest)
- how does a one-time blip of a maximum 40%-50% (if zero crossover) in annual deaths justify the cratering of the global economy, millions out of work, bankruptcies, suicides, and social upheaval which will take years to recover from

How long would we realistically need to have a total lockdown for this to stop?
If everyone self isolated in their own homes with no contact with anyone who isn't in the house, how long roughly?
3 weeks?
At least. Italy's had 2 weeks, and the haven't started the down curve yet. Hopefully we'll see their situation improving in the next week. They did it too late, and we as a country did not learn form their mistake, an are sleep walking into a similar disaster.If everyone self isolated in their own homes with no contact with anyone who isn't in the house, how long roughly?

When I see this chart. I'm amazed at how smooth the china line is. Almost like it was drawn on via a mathematical formula between two points.
It's not obvious until you look at the y-axis but it's a logarithmic graph and that will help give that impression. If you look at the linear graph it's not as clean, but still it's not as "equation like".What's scary is the curve for Italy.

problem with this virus is it hits people differently, even of the same age, suggesting to me its unstable and mutating. ive personally witnessed one person i have no idea why we brought them to hospital whilst another, same age, normally fit and healthy as well was, indeed, at deaths door due to respiratory decline. uk being last to get it is scarier and could indeed mean higher death rate unless we finally get our act together and stop 'suggesting' but 'telling' people what to do, especially bosses like the muppet who owns wetherspoons!

You’re only concerned about your pension and your overpriced meal so you’re not in a great position to comment on perspective.

So in economic terms, is one not better than the other? ie, total shut down of everything for say 4 weeks or carry on as we are and this has the potential to carry on for a more than a year?
Is it just not feasible to do the former?

Can’t manage his own pension, but he’s a CV guru.
