Aye, rattle on, and remember, Happy Birthday twice when washing your hands. There is a different way to crunch the numbers based on the reported cases doubling each day - the old magic of compounding. Anyway hope everyone stays safe.

You fail to grasp the concept that people will suffer from this without being diagnosed as such. Self isolation is being encouraged. Most of these won't show up on the stats you quote. The figures of up to 80% "are used in assessing the risk. No confusion if you understand how the stats work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understanding how to interpret the stats as a guide to the spread of the virus is one thing. Realising that these figures (increasingly) are going to represent nothing like the true extent if people follow the advice given and Self isolate without testing is important. This will happen more frequently. Edited March 11, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smcc Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 1 hour ago, Dickson said: Here we go again. You are attributing more stuff to me that I have never said. You did it earlier when you said I had talked about anti bacterial soap cleanser when I hadn't. Then you claimed that I had stated that Dettol killed COVID-19 when I didn't. And now you appear to be insinuating that I put myself up as some sort of expert in the field of clinical medicine. Just to be clear I am a Pipefitter, not a hospital cleaner. I'd joke that I hoped your inoculations were up to date for a trip to Paisley, but you'd probably pick that apart to. I'd wish you well in your trip but you'd probably claim that I was somehow wishing you dead. So I'll just leave it by saying I hope to f**k you aren't sitting within earshot of me tonight. The football is often boring enough without the fans adding to it. 🙄 A wee touch of paranoia creeping in! You may not have said that the Dettol cleanser killed Covid-19 but you certainly implied it by ringing the piece on coronaviruses and colds on the label. I merely pointed out that it had not been tested against Covid-19 and, therefore, that there was no evidence that it would be effective. I wonder what inoculations you would suggest I have for visiting Paisley. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind of the king who was so happy with a mathematician that he offered him whatever prize he desired. The mathematician presented a chess board to the king and asked him to pay him in rice by putting one grain of rice on the first square of 64 and then to double the number of grains on each subsequent square until he had reached square 64. The idiot king thought the mathematician was stupid and so obliged. He put 1 grain on the first square, 2 on the second, 4 on the third, 8 on the 4th. By the end of the first row, the 8th square had just 256 grains on it and the king thought nothing of it, laughing in the face of the mathematician. How did that story end?

I haven't expressed an opinion one way or another. Certainly not on Italy. I have simply quoted our Chief Medical Officer who has a little more knowledge than you about things like this and is quoted as saying "up to 80%". In fairness to myself, although I don't know about viruses, I know how to interpret an exponential graph and how to anticipate, via extrapolation, what might happen if that trend is not reversed. I also know that we appear to be where Italy was a week or so ago. Edited March 11, 2020 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, when it suits you believe the Scottish Chief medical officer, yet you believe posts on social media over retail leaders on food shortages? Dr Jenny Harris, deputy chief medical officer for the UK, said that while the government were planning for the worst case scenario, the reality would probably be around 20%. How much you betting?

Hiram Abiff Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I see the attention seeking knob is quoting me again. He's on ignore but still he persists with his pish.Only a matter of time before he has another meltdown and has to leave the forum before appearing again after a few weeks with a new alias. Must be in double figures by now. What a sad existence. TPAFTWAT is pretending to have me on ignore. Oh my, how will I cope!
