It's her only residence, she was born there and has her business there. So that's not a problem. The restrictions are so necessary.

Germany seems to have a lot of cases, 21,854 with just 77 deaths. It seems to be out South Korearing South Korea which itself has 8,799 cases and 102 deaths.
There is an interesting column in the table which is cases per million population, sorting the results by that shows some interesting new countries rise to the top.

Interesting from China, Beijing, people are being allowed out of their homes into the parks, the only new cases in the last 3 days were people arriving in China, not from local transmission. People are still wearing their masks though. And I don't know if this relaxation also applies to Hubei or Wuhan.

I saw a woman in Tesco the other day with several boxes of tonic water piled in her trolley - wonder if she had jumped to the same conclusion.
This article is both informative and terrifying:
The Story of a Coronavirus Infection
How the novel coronavirus could take over your body before you ever felt it.nymag.com
I like to think of myself as fairly robust, but that article freaked me the fuck out.

elbows has been posting a table like this for a while and someone earlier posted a graph that a news agency had produced also showing this - that UK deaths are following Italians by 2 weeks.
What is the source of your table Rutita1?

Looks correct.
As shown in the graph posted earlier, we're now poised to accelerate away quicker than Italy as we're days/weeks behind their more stringent lockdowns.

BBC News Channel is showing a film, "shutdown in Wuhan" it is detailing what China did - they acted very early, shut down public transport, asked volunteers to drive hospital workers to work, the army arrived and they started building two new mega hospitals, commandeered sports stadiums as confinement centres, etc etc .. they basically started much earlier than we are and …. I am still watching it now.

Did it? I hadn't been keeping an eye on the world totals.
Official infected numbers do depend on testing regimes though and in a lot of countries they are only, like here, testing people that are serious enough to get to hospital. There will be many more mild cases.
Not sure where to put this.
If anyone has the skills to help create a field ventillator then have a look.

It's right, and to update it, the UK now has 233 deaths, exactly the same number as Italy on 7 March. Number of diagnosed cases is at 5,000-odd, again the same as Italy 14 days ago. I've been trying to think of reasons why we might not continue to follow the same path as Italy, and I can't think of any.
I'm pretty sure I had this in the States before Christmas...
had most of the listed symptoms, including the breathing difficulties (which I don't normally get, also didn't fee like the normal flu... not that flu is normal - but just saying it did not feel like anything I had had before). I thought actually at the time thought damn! this American virus shit is tough!! Well I was ill for 3 weeks, the first week literally could not get out of bed for more than 5 mins. If I could have afforded to have called a Doctor I would have. Upshot is if you are reasonably fit and healthy you will be OK!! And just to say I am flying home on Wednesday from the US and I plan to offer myself up for testing for antibodies to it... as I believe I have had it so might be of help.?

Reported this post for inaccurate medical info that risks lives, and you more generally for total bollocks postings in inappropriate threads. This is for worldwide breaking news, not personal drivel. Fuck off away from here with your stupid posts.

Israeli doctor in Italy: No. of patients rises but we get to everyone
Dr. Gai Peleg told Israeli television that in northern Italy, patients over 60 tend to receive less treatment with anesthesia and artificial respiratory machines.
www.jpost.com
No longer helping anyone over 60 in Italy. (don't know how reliable the Jerusalem post is, never heard of it) Still weeks away from the (1st?) peak.
C'mon Boris, shut the place down. Italy shut down 9 days ago from where we are now.

Self-isolation going well, is it?

Question: I still can’t believe Japan’s numbers. High population density, small spaces everyone is crammed into, most of the working population using public transport, and aging population, and yet they’ve taken barely any precautions and done little testing so it seems impossible that everything can just be OK over there.
