Dont have those figures to hand mate. I do know that fewer people that go out and about, the number of new infections will decrease, and the strain on the NHS will be lessened. It's possible to have reservations about the curtailment of our freedoms yet understand that they are necessary for a short while to enable the health care systems to cope and fewer people to die before their time btw. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why aren’t the rate of infections in Sweden, where there is no lockdown, ramping up way ahead of Denmark?

I'm not an expert mate, I'm just getting info from NHS workers in icu who are unable to cope with the influx of patients and looking at available data from other countries a little further along the time line to work out what is likely to work for us. Do you think sweden is a success story whose model we should be following? How far into their timeline are they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 My elderly neighbor always slams his windows shut late at night, but I managed to get him back today. He hadn't left the house for about a week (I knew he was alive as I could hear him shutting his windows) until this morning, going to do a shop I guess. I rang the police to say that this was the third time he had left the house today and he was back outside his house within ten minutes courtesy the back of a police car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Is this promising? From an overall world view rather than just UK. Never quite sure how to read graphs like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) I've just been doing some reading about Sweden. They have had a sharp rise in deaths and cases recently but the "success" of their model (obviously far far too early to come to conclusions about long term efficacy) appears to be that people trust the public authorities and follow advice when given it, rather than looking for ways around it to f**k the system because they don't trust a word the authorities say and think that advice only applies to other people and really means that they can actually just do whatever they want to do.

Romeo Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I think it's time for the authorities to give a "come out of your house your lifted" unless is to the shops or the chemist type warning. People are obviously just carrying on like there's nothing happening. I'll leave it to p&b to work out the finer details of this -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 We’ve been pretty steady at around two thirds of where Italy was 2 weeks ago for about a week now Following the same trend will see excess deaths due to coronavirus reach approaching 40% of the excess deaths caused by the flu in 14/15 and 99/00. Yeh, coronavirus is nothing like the flu It’s less deadly and it’s not killing childrenhttps://blockclubchicago.org/2020/03/28/infant-among-47-now-dead-from-coronavirus-in-illinois-today-is-a-really-hard-day/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the popuation density of Sweden is something like 64 people per square mile and Denmark is like 340-odd so that might have something to do with it too.

England’s is 430 per sq km. i think the Swedes can afford to be a bit more relaxed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
