Not to everybody. Certainly not me. But some may find comfort in it mate.Is that good news??
I wonder if this latest news might chill some people out.
Not unexpected there. They are the autocratic police state that our current government seem to aspire to.Is that good news??
Where are we talking about?Not unexpected there. They are the autocratic police state that our current government seem to aspire to.
Maybe that's what the meant when they said we could be like Singapore? Not financially because no way we could compete, but in subjugation of it's peoples? We are progressing nicely.
Singapore,China?Where are we talking about?
Hello!?Singapore,China?
Singapore mate.Hello!?
And in Bergamo, over 50% of those tested for antibodies were positive. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...ergamo-have-covid-19-antibodies-idUSKBN23F2JV
In a report released in early May, national statistics institute ISTAT said the number of deaths in Bergamo was up 568% in March compared with the 2015-2019 average, making it Italy’s worst-hit city in terms of deaths.
Its hospitals were overwhelmed by infected people and, with morgues unable to keep up, convoys of army trucks carrying away the dead became a chilling symbol of the global pandemic.
Thank goodness we didn't suffer to the same degree as Bergamo:
Cheers RandySingapore mate.
Some localised areas may well have done. I don't think such any major area had as high a death rate as Bergamo though. 5300 per million population. Not an exact comparison, but New York state had 1500 per million population.I think London probably did. Ditto some parts of the West Midlands.
Just working through those figures. The death rate of those infected (50% of the population) was 1.1%. That seems to be similar to the UK based on the antibody studies (6.7% infected).Probably not the same in terms of deaths but I suspect London had a similar infection rate (remember those packed tubes). Les people dying possibly due to demographic differences ... and many of London's deaths were going on invisibly in care homes (as opposed to in the family homes of Northern Italy).
