[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2230618, member: 41816"] [USER=377230]@Copernicus[/USER] Let's wait and see, shall we? I am sure that we are [B][I]all [/I][/B]hoping that the numbers of infected cases falls, rather than rises, and that the death rate is much lower than the 3.4% revised figure that the WHO has published. We can certainly all hope - and taking this seriously, particularly with hand washing and behaving responsibly, can help with that. You may find these links interesting. They show a very clear pattern of infection and escalation, in country after country. Most are following the same pattern, and here in the UK we are seeing increases of between 50 and 70 cases a day (variable) over the last few days. Therefore, if we increase by 50 a day, for 6 days, our new cases will double from the 300 odd yesterday, to 600 odd in a week. Of course it isn't an exact calculation, since there are delays while people incubate the virus, or don't get tested because they are mild cases.

All I can do is ask people to take this seriously, even if it is only for others’ sakes. [/QUOTE]
