I am surprised you posted that Tweet Brian, it is beneath contempt that people are posting such trash on Twitter.


Anyhow, on the oscillation of measures - more details on World at One - they will be doing this on a regional basis, with powers devolved so that clamp downs are implemented when and where required - for example the Mayor of London could clamp down, whilst Berkshire does not, depending on contagion and hospitalisation rates.


Sounds like a flexible and considered approach.

Time to quarantine the entirety of London.


 


Also we need to gamify this. Bring out some kind of mobile app where people gain points (that can be exchanged for currency) for behaving in a socially responsible manner.

Anyhow:



UK: Between 250,000 and 19 million people could already be infected





More on the advice underpinning the UK response from Sarah Knapton:


Modelling by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that each time a single death occurs, hundreds to thousands of cases are likely to be present in the population.


The team ran 25,000 epidemic simulations for different scenario of infection and fatality rates. 


For a scenario where each infected person infects three more, they found that one death means an average of 1,733 people are infected - but it could be as many as 138,624. 


With the current number of deaths at 144, it means that between 250,000 and 19 million people could already be infected in Britain.


----------------------


So that's settled then - between 250K and 19 million - not a wide range at all.

Applying the 138,624 ratio to the 3,405 deaths in Italy would give 470 million infections. In a country with 60 million population. the modelling there is ludicrous.


Even the low figure in 25,000 runs of 1,733 applied to the Lombardy figures means everyone there has already had it. Back to the drawing board I think

I am sure the PM will tighten the grip in his conference today at 5pm. 


People are still needlessly working at the office, the pubs are full and schools are partly open.


A new wave of fear will sweep the nation this afternoon as the latest numbers get published.

It is clear what any sensible nation state has to do to control this.



  1. Hard borders - everyone coming into the country for the foreseeable to be quarantined for at least 7 days, if not 14.

  2. Clean up inside - quarantine, treat and contact trace all cases. Lock-down regions with heavy contagion until it is contained.

  3. Having cleaned up inside - relax restrictions internally but keep hard borders.


Hard borders can only be relaxed, once verified mass immunisation can be adopted. So no foreign holidays for the foreseeable.

For those hoping China is over the worst I have been talkig to my international colleagues this morning by email and this has just arrived from China:


'The situation in China is not getting better actually. Official figures are all fake numbers. With the come-back-to-work command now from above, and people gathering in mass again,  we are facing the second wave of explosion of virus cross infection. The more serious situation is not gone, but still coming.'


Sobering, but not entirely a surprise given the track record of China in the past.

We also need ration books, and a minimum income scheme. People need to retrain and quickly, alternative crops need to be in now or by mid April. Food crops, not food for animals.


I've written to MP in similar vein.


Anyone reading with a garden?  Dig it and plant potatoes, leeks or onions - garden centres have them.


Money? We need it to retain some value.

They just said on the Euronews channel that the average age of people contracting coronavirus in Italy is 63 and in Germany it is 47. Not sure if this is from general testing of the population or hospital admissions.
