    The lack of imagination, the lack of empathy, the lack of humanity that you're displaying is a direct result of what you're looking into right now. Pick up a ******* book and try reading and engaging.

    WTF did you expect to see when you've been given the figures from Italy for the last month?

    What I saw was a hospital way in advance of what is available in the UK after years of unnecessary austerity brought about by an horrific right wing government.

    I saw calm. I saw professionals doing their job. I saw people being treated for respiratory problems. I saw a society that is actually functioning. I saw, what we don't have, an alternative to death.

    What did you see?

    Utter utter nonsense !! that is well over 3% of the entire population in 6 weeks. current rates are 2-3% of those hospitalised which in turn is only a relatively low percentage of those who test positive after showing symptoms, which in turn is only around 30-40% of infected people - the other being carriers but asymptomatic so are probably immune. It's posts like yours, that stir up panic and anxiety you muppet… give over!!

    Where are you getting the 2-3% of those hospitalised are dying from? Not disputing it, just I've not read it elsewhere.

    14 days after our first case and we are on 233 deaths just like Italy was. Even those not religious better start praying we don't continue to head their way.
