A week on and I think we are there, the death toll still trails Italy but not for long, the White House estimates from 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the next two weeks we haven't seen anything yet. Expect to see piles of bodies in the news. :(

Thankfully not as bad as their predictions yet, looks like my one has come to pass though.

They showed footage at lunch time ABC news,
That is haunting, disturbing and some still don't get it.

Listening to abc radio, update from the SA health mob
They have no idea what the flue and this virus may do.

China and Russia,s figures are not believed by most countries.  North Korea hasn't had a case yet......very magical country that one...

Its not just North Korea failing to post Covid19 cases. There are quite a few countries with no or very low number of cases. An interesting site I found this morning is worldmeteres.info/coronavirus/ .

Quite possible north Korea has no cases. Are or were there any regular flights going into the country ?  You may as well call it an isolated island.

And if you believe a few jokes going around, if a case or two came up, pretty easy to make them disappear !!  ;D

There surrounded by countries with big corona virus numbers.  The large amount of illegal (and state sanctioned ) smuggling means it is almost impossible for the country not to have the virus.

They have flights in and trains direct to China, so its a fair bet they have it.

But if you don't test and classify it 100% as COVID-19, then it is just another upper respiratory infection that develops into pneumonia and you die.

I'm sure the US has some imagery of ROK mass graves that they are sitting on.

Yeah, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Tajikstan, Kosovo, Lesotho are all still showing nothing, despite being surrounded by countries that do have it. Unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean much, as they're all high on the list of places that you don't usually believe a word of what they say anyway! >:D

I think it was Turkmenistan, that I saw that the President, only a week or so ago, was still denying the existence of Covid ::)

Thought I heard on the TV news last night, that England only counts CV19 deaths occurring in hospitals, not in their homes or nursing homes.

Yes. Part of the problem is not enough testing and being overwhelmed by the numbers. I’m sure researchers will pore over the records later to get better figures. If you have access the average mortality rate, then that may give a good indication of what is going on. In New York it is currently about 4x normal for the same period. Not all well be cornona  associated deaths but most probably will be.

It will be like the Russians with Chernobyl...

Its also probably a little to keep people calm... "50 deaths" is a lot better than "20,000 deaths"

Interesting read from someone who had it.. Not many articles talking about it from those that have got through it

Quote
One of Sutherland Hospital's first coronavirus cases is sending a message to young people to take the directions about social distancing seriously.

Grant Houldsworth - a top footballer in the shire in his younger years - said, "I wouldn't be able to pull on a jersey for the Sharks, but for a 40-year-old I am in good condition and look after myself".

"I would have thought I could fight off this virus without much difficulty, but I have to say it really kicked my butt.

"The main message I want to put out there is to remind people that this thing is, like, real, and that the directions we are getting about social distancing should be followed.

"People are behaving well around the shire, but at common gathering points, such as waiting for takeaway coffee, some are falling into old habits.

"I think we all have a social responsibility and, with the Easter long weekend here, I encourage everyone to make good decisions."
