The job losses and struggles many many families are going to experience hasn't dawned upon so many imo.When schools shut in Northern Ireland over coronavirus it will be for at least 16 weeks, Arlene Foster has said.
Completely agree, to flatten this curve is to flatten how many industries? I work for Aerospace & this is gonna tank them completely imo, they're already under massive stress from the Boeing events, the share price has hit £1.20 last time I checked.PDC wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 5:41 pmIn time people will start to realise imo that it isn't the virus that the vast vast majority of people need to worry about but the financial implications it is going to have on the world after we (the world) have talked ourselves into a mess that is going to have implications well into the next decade.
How long do people think it will be before the twitterati changes the hashtag from "Shuttheschools" to "Opentheschools"

The number of deaths caused by the virus directly will be hugely surpassed I think by the number of deaths caused by the actions taken to fight it.
I'm not sure how you work that out. Job loss doesn't equal death and doing nothing might cause more economic hardship in the long run. We just don't know. Workers in Italy are striking because they don't feel safe going to work. Are you going to force them to go in?

Don't think it needs the soundtrack though Think there is actually a correlation between rising unemployment and an earlier death - plus Brad Pitt mentioned it in the big short so it must be truesuperfrank wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:57 pmI'm not sure how you work that out.

The government already knows that many people are going to die whatever they do. They just dont want to admit it as it will cause panic. Bit like during the blitz, they knew where Germany would target but chose not to relocate everyone, only children were sent to the countryside. Depends who you believe on the number but it could be anywhere between 500 and 500,000 deaths in the UK amoungst the elderdly, underlying health conditions or smokers. I am no expert but i suspect allot of it will come down to luck unless everyone is going to stay indoors for the next 6 months and hope they find a vaccine.ricardodeano wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:00 pmI may not be an expert in the field but when hundreds of actual experts are concerned about the actions undertaken and expressed them in a open letter, then I think the general public has every right to be a little worried.

When have experts ever agreed on complexed matters? When the stakes are high, whatever strategy is adopted will receive criticism. Better to have a strategy in place and executed than waste time arguing over the best strategy.ricardodeano wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 8:00 pmI may not be an expert in the field but when hundreds of actual experts are concerned about the actions undertaken and expressed them in a open letter, then I think the general public has every right to be a little worried.
