Cambon 950 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 World wide, the rate of recovery is starting to pass the infection rate. It is already on its way out. Interestingly, the uk approach seems to be working as it is dropping down the list. Switzerland is in big danger as loads of Italians fled there before the lockdown. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries This is the best website I have seen.

Once the rate of recovery overtakes the rate of infection, it is on its way out. COVID-19 is a bad cold. The elderly, inform and inactive are the ones at risk of death. People with poor hygiene are most at risk of infection. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you written to the WHO and told them they have got it wrong and to stop panicking? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The WHO have explicitly told people to not panic but to take sensible precautions. Differing governments will have different ways in which they choose to deal with it due to differing factors. Italy have gone full on authoritarian and we have chosen to see if it burns itself out first. Neither are wrong, it's just the way the world works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manxman2000 27 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) UK epidemic peak ‘expected within fortnight’ as health chief warns many thousands to be infected across country, amid panic in Italian over soaring death toll UK will see 'many thousands of people' contract coronavirus The UK will see "many thousands of people" contract coronavirus, the deputy chief medical officer has told Sky's Kay Burley.Speaking to Sky's Kay Burley @ Breakfast, Dr Harries said: "We will have significant numbers in a way which I think the country is not used to... so large numbers of the population will become infected [with coronavirus] but because its a naïve population, nobody has got antibodies to this virus currently." Having said that, 99% of those will almost certainly get better and most people will have a really quite mild disease and will not need to be in hospital and can be managed very safely and appropriately at home." on that basis I would think TT is now going to be cancelled, Could you see the SPC able to clean the Ben or the Manannan well enough between crossings. also would you like to be on one of the boats when it is full, with this virus about, I know I would not. Its bad enough when everybody is healthy, it would only take one to infect many more. Edited March 10, 2020 by Manxman2000 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's odd...I specifically remember them saying "Hope I die before I get old" and "Why don't you all fade away". Hardly the type of organisation we should be supporting IMO. 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hissingsid 3,675 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It will be cancelled the question is when ? Spain is now feeling the effect spreading like mad.

Can you imagine much it’s going to cost the SPC (ie, us) to refund every TT pre booked fare if the event is cancelled? It will literally cost them millions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frances 363 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 the boats will still run - any cancellation of the event does not affect this, they only booked a crossing not attendance at the races - if the Govt blocks incoming passengers then possibly it could trigger some insurance claim. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
