The numbers and the graphs on how we are going and it seems to be on a downward trend for new cases so
hopefully we don't get to many new cases brought on by further idiocy and people that just wont listen.

India is another country that has behaved like deer standing on a highway at night and gazing into the head lights of an approaching timber truck

So you missed this part in my post.
This is from India on March 20th who are treating the virus as a general flu:

Statistically from Chinese sources will be 18 days before the first deaths in number , cases were 600 a few days ago now as per you observation is over 4,000 , so in 16 days time and from then on.... update 117/328 , so have been infection from 18 days ago if asian stats are the same.
I mention this in the hope that the powers here factor in other countries experiences and so keep on steadily implimenting preventitive procedures - while India is technically a northern hemisphere country does seem climatically more like southern , hence the slow spread of the disease , but the season is changing ....

No I didn't.
What I was trying to highlight was the difference between the total on March 20th and now. The leap is pretty significant and suggests their approach is limited in it's value too. But for a country with 1.3 billion people, which is on par with China, they are doing reasonably well.

people will panic, more than they allready are.
as long as we all believe this is temporary things will be civil, i think.
hogwash
the world would be a far better place if the truth was put out there
( look at what happened with China's secretive carp!
& panic my arrs, this would allow us to accept the reality of the situation, better prepared untill a proper developement of a vaccine
I didn't think it would be over anytime soon

One common factor is whether a region is suffering flu season - India I suspect has a late flu season , as seems more like a southern hemisphere country - is a major factor as to why we have got off lightly so far
But their recovery rate is very high for early infection time 117/328 compare with UK 4934/135
but a few days ago 600 now over 4000
Who knows where it will end for them ?
As for us - we source many medicines from India

I was wrong as that's the most stupid statement yet due to simple logistics that anyone but a troll would
understand.
Why do you keep trying to make out that you don't understand this virus even when explained in simple terms?
You know it's not a simple Flu yet you want people to think that it is which would put people at risk of dying.
The death rate from those who catch it is ten times higher than the flu and the speed of it's spreads has
caused economic chaos and pushed health care systems to the max.

I just don't get the "logic" behind someone trying to "belittle" an illness that kills people.
Simply put why,what's the hidden agenda or is it just fun to try and "bait" others?

Frankly, I don't understand your perpetual outrage. Continually banging your head against that brick wall can't be good for you...
I'm not trying "belittle" this disease, but it has a high recovery rate, and I do think placing the world in lockdown and destroying world economy is a total overreaction.
Don't forget India's population is much younger and vigorous than ours and has been exposed to a much higher rate of disease than our Western countries, so it's only natural they're not panicked as much we are.
