The Netherlands is also another country where its Deaths outweigh those Recovered?
I wonder why that is? The UK also.
Perhaps thier definition of Recovered?
Turns out it's the reporting method (or lack thereof) - in the .NL recoveries aren't being counted, same in .SE pretty much (but remember, they're using a different strategy), and the UK is somewhere inbetween. I'll just pop a portion of the chat into codebox..
Code:
<shelter> 900+ deaths in spain in 24 hours
<subbass_> hehe yea normaly your own brand is alright ;)
<shelter> ouch
<shelter> but i guess spain got a lot of eldery too
<subbass_> Doesn't seem to be just elderly falling from it, I read somewhere that 37% of people admitted to hospital are under 54
<subbass_> and once you run out of intensive care beds / ventilators.. fatalities sky rockets
<subbass_> it's why I pray that "herd immunity" that sweden is going for works, if not it's gonna be really really nasty
<shelter> mmm
<shelter> i dont see why it shouldnt get worse
<shelter> seems impossible to avoid the matter what
<shelter> its not like its gonna disappear
<shelter> but sweden isnt that crowded as other countries
<subbass_> Aye, best plan for people is slowdown the spread so hospitals can cope, but that financially ####s the country... it's a horrible juggling act
<subbass_> I wouldn't like to be resposible for it
<shelter> only 10 mil people
<shelter> england is about 56 mil
<shelter> netherlands 17
<subbass_> herd immunity gets your country back on it's feet fastest, we set out on that path initially in the UK, trouble with it when we changed course was that we are now waiting on testing and all sorts of stuff, can't get hold of it etc
<shelter> yea
<shelter> but im thinking, if the peole that are careful now, starts travelling again in a few months, chances are it starts all over again
<subbass_> Yea I would think so to
<subbass_> just have to not have the high numbers all at once is the only important thing
<subbass_> avoid the "peak" they keep talking about
<subbass_> so hospitals can provide enough care to everyone needing it
<andabata> gcb: about the numbers of recoveries being low in .nl, those aren't reported back. Hence the low numbers
