1466479 2020-03-12 05:12:00 10% infected means 400,000 in NZ
assuming its 10% in NZ , 57,000 will NEED hospitalization , 11,000 will need Intensive Care (see below) .



Will?
Might.
Those NEEDING intensive care probably would have anyway, even if it was seasonal flu.

This new sickness is taking the seriousness of man flu away.

Countdown, Johnsonville - 2 days ago :(

I didn't take any pics, but a few hours ago I was shopping at Countdown, Mt Wellington (Auckland), and there were at least 4 pallets of toilet rolls in the aisles . As well, all the usual shelves were fully stocked .

For a largish consideration, I can courier some down to you if need be :clap

A neighbour who is a courier driver for a specialist courier service is complaining their business is impacted (not by any increased traffic in toilet rolls - that hasn't happened), but general commerce is reduced .

I can't think but hark back to the stockmarket crash of the 80's . Where we saw Wall Street brought to its knees, and we were fed panic buying in our NZ stock exchange . . . images of youngsters (circa 25 yo) reacting as they only thought they should, emulating the chaotic scenes from overseas: Sell! Sell! Sell! In the event, they knocked millions off the value of local stock in what really turned out to be a global adjustment that never impacted on us anyway .

Methinks there is some inadvised kneejerk reactions in the current coronavirus scare . Think politics, think power brokering, think appallingly inept reporting by worldwide media .

Think grandstanding by our politicians . . .

1466483 2020-03-12 08:41:00 You can now see the high rate of deaths in Italy as the Health system gets overwhelmed

People over the age of 65 and have issues are not treated,Italy is well regarded as having a very good Health system compared to other countries

a live coronavirus map is being used to spread computer malware
so avoid going to websites with Coronavirus maps
