How so
Assumption of death rate amongst the whole population when the death rate used was at the very worst end of the rate quoted when considering those admitted to hospital
The mortality rate in italy is 7%
I used 5%
True mortality rate has been estimated at somewhere between 0.1% and 1%
Too spicy a t-shirt idea?
nobody knows what the mortality rate is because theyre not testing enough people
number of deaths divided by the estimated true number of case
the WHO estimates is to be between 3-5
Don't worry, The People's Prime Minister will save us

people might have been getting this since december... ive had a cough since then...
some people wont even get symptoms at all
but do carry on, making an additional caviat that the true value may be an order of magnitude smaller
may being the pertinent term
@AndrewWithTheBeard Yeah because he can perform acts of God.
then when you've calculated the number of deaths, you need to also then think about how many of these deaths are "excess" deaths, and how many are people who were about to die anyway, but this happened to be the final shove
at the time of h1n1 the death rate was really high... now years later we know it was much lower in reality
Thats just obscuring the events
and there were some people freakin out over it.. my business partner was a bit... but not to this extent
went to the supermarket yesterday - very busy, some cheap lines were out but nothing crazy
was about as empty/stripped as it would be on a bank holiday weekend, tbh
think about this though... all the toilet paper companies.. probably mostly come under one parent company, which will be in the ftse... when their next figures come out... ftse's gonna rocket
Tell me the last time they locked down countries over h1n1
countries came pre-locked down before the 1990s, leohte
and the company that sell all the toilet paper sells all the other food goods as well
theres only about 2 major companies in the UK that parents every company
Id buy stock in unilever tbh
that's why AA is about right with his assessment that we live in a weird form of corporate communism already
the last time we had h1n1 was 2009, at the height of net immigration into the UK... and there wasnt really anything we could to about it
if you have open borders, you can't
Next step would be to quarantine all the cities
AA?

One of this corner of youtube's resident (genuine) academics
why would you quarantine all the cities right after the leading virologists have told us that will lead to thousands of deaths?
Stop the rest of us getting it, wacka
Stop it spreading between cities
The usual pandemic stuff
a) that wont stop you getting it
b) it will still spread between cities
