Coronavirus

Well, after seeing the government response on the news just now I think there is nothing more to say except this is now survival of the fittest. Good luck everyone.

EU plot I reckon.
Virus to target the elderly.
Only remain voters left.
Rejoin the EU.

PC gone mad.

Gary, once this is over, you need to see a therapist.

The press release was pretty contradictory

Do we need to cancel large events?
"No, the virus spreads between people in close contact, mostly at home or in the work place. Stopping events won't so much to stop the spread of the virus"

Do we need to stay home if a household member is self isolating with a cough/temperature?
"No, household members do not need to stay home, they can continue their daily life".

Hang about, I thought it was family members most likely to get it, so you want family members with Ill people in the household to go out and socialise?

Also with the football matches example, how is 9 people sat in close quarters for 1hr 30 not a high risk? If one person is infected, they could easily infect another person, who would take it home to their family where is would spread easily.

I understand not wanting people to fatigue of quarantine but seriously?

Generally I'm still not phased though, my biggest concern remains economic.

If it’s stoppable. Why have E3 cancelled their event. It’s not till June
How long is this gonna last

Lets face it this virus has saved us from the lies and crap from the developers and publishers.
Good riddance, don't return.

I think a lot of us will need to see therapists over the loss of loved ones over the next few months.

There is much to look forward to. It will soon be a great time to buy a house after years of only the rich and previous generations benefiting from the housing market. The era of people being pushed into drowning in debt is coming to an end.

I wonder if the uk is figures for covid 19 deaths will pass the figures for cold/flu deaths.

Seeing the new measure. I think it more contain plus, than delay.

Apart from those USA college students who were spendingvall all their student loans $TSLA when it was going up. They will be in debt forever now

"Many more families are going to loose loved ones before their time"

If nothing else this episode will help spotlight people with a predisposition towards anxiety disorders, hopefully leading to treatment and a reduction in the mental health crisis this country is facing

Wow, a whole portion‽

I've just had my first job cancelled due to all this. It won't be the last.

Sorry to hear

Isn't it odd that this is exactly what the plague did to Europe. Killed off so many peasants that their scarcity and value for labor rose, and forced lords to be wage takers or lose huge amounts of their income. Ended serfdom
I'm sure that there are some history degrees out there that are entirely dedicated to why pandemics boost living standards

I'm starting to sound evil now right ?

Indeed, all those people in total panic fighting over toilet paper and hand sanitizer in the shops, crazy! (Ps. That wasn't me )

Meanwhile in other news, China has sent help to Italy : (copied from news site so excuse the caps)

CHINA EASTERN AIRLINES' A350 DEPARTED FOR ROME, ITALY FROM SHANGHAI, BRINGING 9 CHINESE MEDICAL EXPERTS AND 31 TONS OF MEDICAL SUPPLIES, INCLUDING PLASMA OF RECOVERED CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS, TO HELP ITALY FIGHT AGAINST THE VIRUS

 

[Matt N]

Wow, that's a fantastic thing to do; good on China! Hopefully it should help Italy recover a little and flatten their curve; as everyone keeps saying, curve-flattening will be crucial in the coming weeks and months.
