Let's hope things said in both articles are true. Old folks and people who have health issues (hence genetically weaker) are just a hindrance for any country.

You might insensitively make a pragmatic point about those with chronic health issues (although many such issues are NOT genetic in origin and of course it only helps Darwinism if those people have passed child-bearing years).

But the suggestion the elderly are a hindrance shows a lack of exactly the kind of wisdom old people have. The elderly should be given a lot more respect.

Govt's advice so far has been to self isolate if you think you have the virus as if you will magically heal if you isolate yourself.
what they should do is procure ventilators and anti-viral medicines on a mass scale because that's what will save a lot of people. 10% of the infected people will need ventilators.

You are either trolling or particularly ignorant. Firstly self-isolation is to prevent infection spread, not to effect a cure, on the basis that even if you do have it you are extremely unlikely to be in much danger. You WILL (95%+ probability) get 'magically' better due to your immune system. If you get badly ill then you'd go to hospital.

Secondly, there is no evidence yet that anti-virals actually help much or at all.

You have only just realised you are an idiot?

What part of "I'm an idiot" do you think would have helped me reach the conclusion faster?

I did wonder and would love to have said but my infraction situation wouldn't allow.

Go on, you know you want to

There's a lot more than 163 positive in the UK given the 14-day no symptom incubation period. Few are paying much attention how quickly this is spreading.

It is fair to assume that there are peeps walking about out there who are positive but haven't been tested yet (and may never be tested as their symptoms are so minor they don't know they are infected). But, of the c.21k tested, only 163 have been shown as positive.

Of those tested today. Today +7 days will be a very different result. Until there's evidence to suggest a reduced number of new infections, the situation remains uncontrolled.

Here in Munich a number of schools have just said this evening they'll be closing all of next week.
