 That's a 20% death rate which is at odds with the rest of the world's cases. Something is not right here... either my maths is way off or there must be thousands of undiagnosed cases in Italy.

We have stockpiled a month’s worth of supplies and that includes toilet rolls. We are working on the basis that we might both contract Covid-19 consecutively meaning four weeks of self isolation.


Does this make me a moron?

 Agreed, the problem is now most of Europe seem to be starting to see big increase daily. 


It seems the EU has failed to adopt a europe wide approach. 


We remain in containment. I now think we need to consider flying bans.

I agree though that European governments (including ours) have not handled the Lombardy epidemic well. This has little to do with the EU btw, it's up to national governments whether to close borders or stop flights etc. The EU has little jurisdiction in this!

Correct, they were. Glad you get it!


(I'm a holder of a Makro card, so know what goes on in a wholesaler. I've seen plenty of small business owners in there, but not once - in 24 years! - have I ever seen people just buying several hundred toilet rolls on their own, as shown in the photos doing the rounds today. They invariably buy other things as well.)

 But 366 is not 5% of 7375 which are the Italian figures I'm talking specifically about.

Recovery can take 3-6 weeks for serious cases. This is what makes high hospitalisation numbers so worrying.

a) buying boat loads but aren't truely stockpiling it. ie keeping a reserve. They will use up what they bought.


b) people seeing others doing it and are panicking what if it runs out so they buy more as well not because they are stockpiling.

The death rate in Italy could approach 25%. All governments should be looking at what is happening. Is it a different mutation of the Corona or are Caucasian people more vulnerable to it.

We wont have enough here anyway if and when this takes hold properly. So the laws of nature will apply.

Stockpiling is fine, if you believe there is going to be long term supply issues. That could well be the case post Brexit
