If that was to be reflected across the UK population then you would be looking at 20,000 although I very much doubt it will be anywhere near that figure. Most of those 30,000 didn't have it yet though. The government's plan is admittedly to allow the majority of the population to contract it. Let's say that is only 50% of the population and assume that the mortality rate is only 1%, then that would mean approximately 300,000 deaths. Hopefully this could be brought down somewhat if the old dears somehow manage to keep themselves locked up long enough to avoid it, but I doubt it.

Their plan is actually for most of the population to contract it. If it continues to double every 4 days, then it would expect to peak around the end of May. They will impose closing of schools a few weeks before this to slow things down a bit over the peak. At the end of the day, there was no real way of stopping this, but it does mean that there are going to be hundreds of thousands of deaths in the UK. It will mainly be older folk if that gives any comfort to anyone though. My arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows what the figures are, not even the experts. It is far too early to try and predict the number of deaths. As far as this thread is concerned, UEFA and the UK authorities have deemed it OK for tonight's game to proceed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 With every chance that the virus will cause this competition not to be completed I feel that the edge has come off this game.

Not like a cold where your body develops immunity though, as far as they know you can get this virus more than once. So you could get it now and then catch it again during the peak.

So you could get it now and then catch it again during the peak. Too early to know how long immunity lasts. You actually lose immunity to anything if it's long enough between infections. There were some early reports of people getting it, recovering and then getting it again. This however is very unlikely and more likely to be someone being discharged before they were fully recovered and it relapsing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
