@ recurve16 - 18.04.20 - 05:09am Ok tiny maybe wasn't the best choice of word lol The amount of dead so far is far from tiny, but will pale compared to the final count, which we will probably never know exactly... Millions could die and it could still be considered tiny. Or only thousands more could die and it could end up being considered very high. It all depends on the total infections. |

Well no matter what the final count is. I hope neither of us are in it. G'night m8 |

Theres also the elephant in the room that is the actual fear of the virus and being infected by it. The fact that mass graves are being prepared does not reflect the socioeconomic status of the departed or their families, but more so that no gathering can be done to facilitate a proper burial. The time is also limited for people to have any type of last ceremony. Family, family friends are being essentially robbed of the chance to say bye to their loved ones and in the same breath of mourning them- they are trying their utmost best to stay in doors and as safe as possible. In fact, a lot of people have died in hospitals alone, practically banished from their families and are only saying goodbye via video conferences and phone calls, if that. There is just no time to mourn and grieve and send one off properly at this time. Unfortunately. The quickest, safest way to do this is mass burial. As long as there is land spot available. Cremation is not even an option now due to time constraint and the gross number of deaths within a short period of time. Granted, there are the ones who are unclaimed and they obviously will end up there, but there are people who financially can afford to bury a loved one, but the distress of the pandemic is greater so it turns into a case of life over death, staying safe. Not to mention funeral homes are being bombarded. Burials/funerals take time, planning and arrangement, etc., and with an influx of average 600 deaths each day, ideally single funerals just arent feasible. |

@ gt_tdi - 18.04.20 - 01:26am While I agree to an extent, that's overtaken by the practicality of stretching the available resources even further than they're already stretched in order to attain those accurate figures. I'd say that we're already at such a point that some inaccuracy doesn't really have much of a bearing on how to deal with the crisis. I'm surprised at you saying this, with your background. You know yourself in any war intelligence is king. Testing doesn't provide statistics, it provides vital information that we need to end this. North koea Germany and Norway's early test track isolate policy has directly saved lives and may well be the key to getting us out of lockdown....It's vital to test |

Sorry I actually meant south Korea.....

400 is still a lot but weve come down from 700 in 24 hrs. Steady decline in deaths, hospitalization, ICU need and overall positive testing. Apparently weve passed the apex. Phew. Last two weeks were some dark days. |

In the UK, over 18,000 people confirmed to have had the virus have died. |
